This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Hey! I've got a message and tonight and I'm gonna send it.
Yeah! I had a body and men with knives wanted to lend it.
Sold my body to the company
So I got the money now away I go and I say thank you Mr. CEO.
Hey! I've got some money and tonight I'm gonna spend it.
Yeah! They gave me a paper
And I went ahead and penned it and I say thank you Mr CEO.
I filled my pockets now I might as well -
Die! cause I found the backdoor out of teenage hell - all right!
Filed my account cause I might in fact - Die!
But I rely on science, yeah to bring me back - all right.
I.....'m gonna die....
Heavy morals seem so light but when it comes to cash I'm gonna die all right!
Hey! I lost the money seems like I can't comprehend it.
Yeah! Got a hole in my head gotta gotta mend it.
Too messed up to sit and settle down.
Too messed up to even mess around.
That's why your smiling Mr CEO.
I filled my pockets now I might as well -
Die! cause I found the backdoor out of teenage hell - all right!
Filed my account cause I might in fact - Die!
But I rely on science, yeah to bring me back - all right.
I.....'m gonna die.... but not right now
Yeah why don't you do the same?
I got the money now I can't complain.
Except the tics won't go away oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!
And the way I feel tonight is gonna make me die all right.
Teenage hell - all right!
Filed my account cause I might in fact - Die!
But I rely on science, yeah to bring me back - all right.
I.....'m gonna die....
Heavy morals seem so light but when it comes to cash I'm gonna die all right!
Yeah! I had a body and men with knives wanted to lend it.
Sold my body to the company
So I got the money now away I go and I say thank you Mr. CEO.
Hey! I've got some money and tonight I'm gonna spend it.
Yeah! They gave me a paper
And I went ahead and penned it and I say thank you Mr CEO.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
um, i'm not sure why everyone thinks this song is about pharmaceutical testing.
i think it's just about selling your soul for money, particularly in show business. you sign your name/life away for cash...
"found the backdoor out of teenage hell"
i think it refers to just becoming rich. a lot of musicians aspire to be rich from a tender age.
maybe they are even referring to themselves or anyone else in the business that may be selling out for cash. there's a teeny bit of regret, or guilt... "except the tics won't go away." but in the end they push it away, brush it off, "i'm gonna die alright!"
@fuzzyjellybean This song is about a man who sells his soul to corporate culture. He needs money so he ‘sells his body to the company’. In the 6th and 7th lines, he states “they gave me a paper and I went ahead and penned it,” which represents him signing contracts that tie him into this company more permanently. Throughout the song he repeats “I’m gonna die,” showing his revelation that in this corporation he is losing his soul and individuality or ‘dying inside’. The lines you quoted specifically show a more in-depth explanation of how he’s “gonna die,” in that he can’t enjoy the same things he did before. The man recognizes he’s “too messed up even mess around,” or stuck so deeply in this web of contracts and the company’s exploitation of his labor that he can’t even find time to enjoy himself. Now seems as apt a time as any to explain the “men with knives,” in the second line who wanted to “lend his body.” These men represent those running the company, and by portraying them in this sinister fashion, he compares his joining this system to a hostage situation. While he can try to escape, or leave the company, the men with knives will cut him down, symbolic of how he can’t escape the contracts he has signed without serious monetary repercussions. The song ends with him repeating “heavy morals seem so light but when it comes to cash I’m gonna die alright!” The sad reality has sunk in that he has no escape from the system, and his wages slowly sink him into poverty. He is only able to pursue money in order to keep his head above water, forgetting the morals he used to have and the reasons he originally pursued money. He has been turned into yet another slave of the corporate system, and even when he recognizes that he has penned his life away to the aforementioned “men with knives,” it’s to late for him to get out. This song showed the punk side of The Hives and was a clear example of their focus on rebellion against conformity. Hope this helps provide some insight and feel free to ask for clarification on other lines:)
