While yall talk shit
Im too busy to listen
I don’t crack under pressure
I deal with the friction

Here its more than opinions
And though entitled to em
I don’t think yall
Understand what yall doin

Or what yall sayin
Yall got to be kiddin me
What did yall think it cost
To be livin free

So for our country
We will bleed
While you run your mouth
You say in defense of me

But mofucker please
You’ve made your millions
You could never
Feel me

And while yall talk shit
Understand how that’s possible
We made you rich
Cause we are willing to die for you

But yall take that for granted
So heres a one way ticket
Anywhere on this planet

I will not have you talk shit
While I die for your family
Protectin our interests
But you don’t understand em

Built on murder
Our country’s exapanded
And so far our troubles
Have rewarded you handsome

But now you critisize
The hand that fed you
And though you try to forget
No, I wont let you

And you coulda always of left
So now im here in iraq
Wondering whats kept you

Thinking we’d all be better of here
Less you
Opening your mouth
Against the country that’s blessed you

And we shouldn’t be here
Says you
But we are
And you still continue

To sit
While we swap spit with these fuckers
No you don’t have to agree
But you could at least support us

Stand behind us
If not for us
But your too busy
Runnin your mouth for reporters

While we here
Sweatin it out the entire fourth quarter
And you wont fight
So we fight for you

And freedom has a price
We payin it for you
The game of your life
We’re playin it for you

While you shit on everything
This country’s done for you
Keep runnin your mouth
Hope the world ignores you

No you don’t speak on our behalf
We speak for you
And it’s a shame
You even think you can speak for me

No I don’t see you in the streets
Bleedin for me
And until you’ve walked it
You cant talk it for me

We bought your careers
Fuck have you bought me
We pay the bills for those
Opinions you offering

And we do more than kill in your name
We slaughter them
So everyday you can hug
Your son and daughter again

But how easily
You forget what we’ve done
And how easily
When we stand you run

Fuck is really goin on
And please when you talk war
Hold your tongue

Cause for you to have lived this long
We have died so young
Look at yourself in the mirror
What have you become

Other than spoiled
By all the sacrifices we made
Enjoying life huh
After the ones we gave

Where would you be without war
Yall are so naïve
Only fuckers in the world
Complaining yall free.

    I love these lyrics! Most of the war protesters say they are really protesting on behalf of the soldiers deployed. This song tells all those treehugging bastards to shut the fuck up, come ride the streets of Iraq with me and then maybe just maybe you can have an opinion! I love it!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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."
