I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
(Mwah!)
(Mwah!)
When you look at me, tell me what do you see?
This is what you get it's the way I am
When I look at you I wanna be, I wanna be somewhere close to heaven with Neanderthal man
Don't go, I know you want to touch me
Here there and everywhere
Sparks fly when we are together, you can't deny the facts of life
You don't have to act like a star
Tryin' moves in the back your car
Don't you know that we can go far
'Cause tonight you gonna get my-
Don't play the games that you play
'Cause you know that I won't run away
Why ain't you asking me to stay
'Cause tonight I'm gonna give you my-
You could be my baby, what's your star sign?
Won't you take a step into the lion's den?
I can hear my conscience calling me, calling me, say I'm gonna be a bad girl again
Why don't you come on over, we can't leave this all undone
Got the devil on my shoulder, there's no place for you to run
You don't have to act like a star
Tryin' moves in the back your car
Don't you know that we can go far
'Cause tonight you gonna get my-

If you forget, I'll remind you
If you're paranoid, I'm behind you
If you lose your head, I'll find you
Sending you my kiss
If you forget, I'll remind you
If you're paranoid, I'm behind you
If you lose your head, I'll find you, kiss kiss
(Mwah!)
(Oh yeah) you don't have to act like a (uh)
Tryin' moves in the back of your (uh, uh, uh)

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Not really the kind of song that will go up for a Ivor Novella, but still its fun, cheesy and great to dance to! She really should give singing up, she never ever sings live, cos half of her song is computer generated! A fun song, but I dont want anymore music from her!
i prefer the tuskish version of this song, though this version is very good as well
I love this song!
Just for everyones info...
Turkish Version, "Simarik" by Tarkan Serbian Version, "Afrodizijak" by Jelena Karleusa Arabic Version, "El Bawsi" by Rida and Nina boutros
Theres also another english version by Stella Soleil
The turkish version rocks and the dance is uber cool! =p
Haha, this song makes me laugh because it's just saying "you don't need to seduce me, I'm a big slut!". Love it.
