My, my, you busted me
Like a Robocop, strike me
With your riding crop I'm forever going celibate tomorrow
Tonight like success knows no shame

Oh no, she's a rejecter
I must protect myself

There's the girl that left me bitter
Want to pay some other girl
To just walk up to her and hit her
But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't

My, my, this demon heart
Of the master's hand, crush me
Why, I don't understand and I know you're not her
'Cause the girl of my dreams is probably god, still I want you

Oh no, she's a rejecter
I must protect myself

There's the girl that left me bitter
Want to pay some other girl
To just walk up to her and hit her
But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't

I can't just hit her
No, no, no, no, no
I won't hit her
I can't, I can't, I can't

No, I can't, I can't, I can't
No, no, I can't, I can't, I can't

    Ah I love this song! It's funny and sad at the same time (like some of their other stuff). And it's obvious what it means. The poor guy is traumatized by rejection from a snobby girl.

    I like the beginning. It's like a bad pickup line.

    I agree with coffeekat on this. The protagonist/narrator has been rejected by a girl and is very disappointed and feels like he wants to hurt her for the pain she has wrought upon him but he can't.

    Near the end it sounded a little Sonic Youth-y to me. Not that that's bad, just an audible observation. :]

    There are a few mistakes but I'll get to that later. In the title, Rejector is spelled with an e instead of an o.

    is it "but tonight, like success, knows no shame" ? I hear "But tonight my success knows no shame".

    Phantom is right, it's "She's a Rejecter." Check out the official web site's discography listing.

    And this is a fantastic song.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
