Not exactly sure what I should say
Sorry that you're not my next mistake
I know you gotta hate me (heard it all a million times)
Keep your glasses on
It doesn't have to be that way
So don't be that way

You're over it, over me
I float away easily
Last words are let die and see
You're over me
(You're over me)

Tell me in the way I understand
'Cause everything I used to want, I can't
Now say it like you mean it (just tell me how it really feels)
Sing it back softly, ah
You gotta be strong, if you want it
Oooh

You're over it, over me
I float away easily
Last words are let die and see
You're over me

You've got your mind made up
Got your mind made up

    i always thought that this was the end of 'christmas card' but on 'the singles' album it's down as a seperate track. it's such a pretty tune, and the few words that he does sing sound so emotional it's like he couldn't sing anymore anyway. thats what i think anyways...

    isn't there two untitled Jimmy Eat World songs....one of which something like ''You are a liar, i am the victim''?

    Anyway there isn't much interperatation nessecary for this song but it's a great one nonetheless. If you can say it in a few words go for it. Don't ramble!

    I think it's basically just him watching someone in ''awe''.

    There are two Jimmy songs called Untitled, but one is a bootleg; it's not on any commercially released CD. Someone definitely needs to decipher it for me because I can barely make out what he's saying (on the other Untitled).

    This song is really rich in meaning. I think that his girlfriend cheated on him. "You stepped out" on me. Amazing song

    [He comes to pick her up for a night out. As he's about to approach the door,] she steps out onto the porch and just glows under the doorlight. Her beauty radiates so much it leaves him speechless and in 'awe.' Short, simple, sweet.

    The lyrics are too vague and short to make any sense of them, but the music conveys that lack of focus well, and the song's just plain nice.

    Um... alright... Make completely arbitrary meanings for songs all you want. If that's what you kids are doing, then...

    This song is about Charlie Brown. His head has a somewhat unique shape, even for a Peanuts character. He was leaving to look for The Great Pumpkin one night, hoping to meet up with Linus along the way. Of course, he left alone, and the song is Snoopy's observation. Snoopy was preparing for another night as a World War I flying ace when he saw his owner leave.

    There you go.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
