Give me some antiseptic
To wash this headache away
Give me a syringe
To inject the pain
Give me something pretty I hope I'll never be
I'd rather be creepy and very strange
Give me a cake that I can mix and bake
In a Betty Crocker oven that I will break

Bake it up and we will
Stab Stab Stab
Come on, don't be afraid
We will make you
Stab Stab Stab
My world is evil but American made

Give me something easy that I can complicate
Something healthy that I can infect
Give me a mate in a crippled state
With Halloween teeth that I can break

Bake it up and we will
Stab Stab Stab
Come on, don't be afraid
We will make you
Stab Stab Stab
My world is evil but American made

Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
Burn the flag with a fag
Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
Burn the flag with a fag
Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
Burn the flag with a fag
Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
Burn the flag with a fag

Bake it up and we will
Stab Stab Stab
Come on, don't be afraid
We will make you
Stab Stab Stab
My world is evil but American made
American made
American grave
in an American grave

    it depends what version it is. the version that's on "sexless demons and scars" it says "stab stab stab". thats the version with the "momma's apple pie.." line. there's another remixed version that has "tear them down" instead of "stab stab stab" and it doesnt have the apple pie line. nod

    I think this song is a bit cheeky and is poking fun at Americana. I think in all its cheekyness, it's touching some very deep and real issues.

    "Give me a syringe To inject the pain "- I think this is quite simply pointing out how, no matter how 'wealthy' America seems to others...we have a serious drug epidemic overall.

    "Give me a cake that I can mix and bake In a Betty Crocker oven that I will break"- i think this touches on women in America...and how since women's rights came...the BETTY CROCKER'S of the nation have become somewhat obsolete (good thing).

    "Give me a mate in a crippled state With Halloween teeth that I can break "- I think this touches on greed in America...you know, the young women who marry rich old men and kill em off for their money...yeah...(ANNA NICOLE).

    "Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it Burn the flag with a fag "- This seems almost to be about how accepting the American military is of homosexuality, whichis NOT AT ALL.

    "My world is evil but American made "- self explainiory.

    I don't find this song mocks America. I think instead, it is being very critical of the problems America has. Maybe it also points out how mainstream America can tend to leave outcasts and people with a very twisted view of the world.

    Seeing as the band appears to be far from mainstream culture, this song points out how the author's own world was twisted by 'America.

    Just some thoughts.

    I also feel the song is poking at the American way of life. Maybe Jessicka feels that the U.S.A is evil, hence the "my world is evil, but american made", it could have to do with all the negative imagery that the states portray, what with war and what not..just a thought.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
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 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.
