It's not suicide. The right side of the brain is often associated with logic. Lipstick on the right side of the brain means this woman is stopping him from thinking straight. |

It's about how hard it is to take the high road when you have to break up with a friend or group. Clearly Dylan feels this friend is toxic: he thinks the friend has a "lot of nerve" for just standing around when Dylan needed a friend, "talking behind my back", and being jealous ("you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed") and petty ("You just want to be on the side that's winnin'")), etc. But Dylan wants to repair the relationship. But the problem is he knows it won't make a difference. The friend is a total poser and just pretends like everything is ok: "You see me on the street, you always act surprised; Ya say 'how are you'", "good luck", but ya don't mean it." What the friend needs to do is tell Dylan to his face what his grievances are. but the friend "tries to hide what he don't know to begin with", i.e. the grievances. So Dylan knows he'd be a fool to make a contact with this person. Particularly since the person's grievances are unfair and petty. The problems really don't have to do with Dylan but with the friend being "dissatisfied with your position and your place", which really isn't Dylan's "problem". But Dylan is still sympathetic, he does not "feel good when he sees the heartbreaks his friend embraces". He'd even like to fix the problems. But he knows he can't; he'd have to be a master thief to "rob" the friend of his negative thoughts. That's why it's such a "drag" to see this "friend". The friend is just not reasonable. Of course, if you see yourself in this song, then it might feel like a giant middle finger being pointed at you. And that's the genius of the song. |

| fun. – Some Nights Lyrics

Totally. It's about a guy who's been on his own for 10 years and trying to figure out who he is and not always liking what he sees. The martyr in his bed could be himself, maybe blaming other others (family) for this conflict: "This is not one for the folks at home, I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go"

| The Commodores – Easy Lyrics

For a guy who is so easy, he complains about a lot of people. Sunday morning is sleeping in, making bacon and eggs and reading the paper. This guy sounds totally stressed out about all the things he tried to do for his girlfriend and everybody else. This song makes no sense to me. |
