Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking
As you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it
When the lights are dim
And your heart is racing as your fingers touch his skin

I've got more wit, a better kiss
A hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet
Sweetie, you had me
Girl, I was it, look past the sweat
A better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?

So I guess we're back to us
Oh, cameraman, swing the focus
In case I lost my train of thought
Where was it that we last left off? (let's pick up, pick up)

Oh, now I do recall
We just were getting to the part
Where the shock sets in
And the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick
I hope you didn't expect to get all of the attention
Let's not get selfish
Did you really think I'd let you kill this chorus?

Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?

Dance to this beat
Dance to this beat
Dance to this beat

Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster

I've got more wit, a better kiss
A hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet
Sweetie, you had me
Girl, I was it, look past the sweat
A better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

Let's get those teen hearts beating faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Dance to this beat
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Dance to this beat

Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster

    Natalie Portman says the words "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off, but it's better if you do." in the movie "Closer" to Clive Owen's character. The movie deals with Portman, Owen, Julia Roberts, and Jude Laws characters all sleeping around, lying, cheating, and so on to one another. Jude Law publishes a book titled "The Aquarium". Julia Roberts and Clive Owen meet in an aquarium. This song has alot of influence from the movie, based on the music video/fish tank heads. You should check it out if you're a fan of this song.

    It's about a guy whose girlfriend cheated on him.

    'Then think of what you did And how I hope to God he was worth it. When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch his skin.'

    He's asking if it was worth it to cheat on him. He thinks she'll never have someone better than him, and she had him, until she cheated on him.

    'I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat? No, no, no, you know it will always just be me'

    He's asking her to look past the testoserone. Past the moment, at the long-run. Was this boy she cheated on him with really more worthy of having sex with her than the narrator? No. She'll always love the narrator, and she's blown it.

    'Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster'- talking about the thrills of sex.. and the fear of getting caught making their hearts beat faster.

    'Testosterone boys and harlequin girls'- boys controlled by their lust, and girls who are fools. He's making a general statement about boys who are only after sex, and the girls who are made to look like idiots, because they have sex with the boys. (Eg the girl the narrator was with is made to look stupid, beause she sacrificed her perfect relationship for sex with this boy who only wanted to use her for the thrill of it).

    'Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?'- Will you go the same root as i'm describing?

    Then he talks about the guilt that comes after the cheating...

    'Oh now I do recall, we were just getting to the part Where the shock sets in, and the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick.'

    'Now let's not get selfish' is ironic, since the girl has been selfish by having another lover.

    Oh now I do recall, we were just getting to the part Where the shock sets in, and the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick I hope you didn't expect that you'd get all of the attention Now let's not get selfish Did you really think I’d let you kill this chorus?"

    This part is like him telling her no when she tries to come back or feels bad about what's going on. I think the song in general is like "Hey, you messed up and you're not getting me back."

    "So testosterone boys and harlequin girls Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close? So testosterone boys and harlequin girls Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?"

    I think this is like advice.. saying to stick by who you're with. A lot of people make the mistake of doing something dumb and then later realizing what they had before was a lot better, so maybe he's saying not to do what his girl did and take the relationship for granted.

    In general the song is him shutting her down, and then telling everyone else not to mess it up either.

    from what I can gather its a guy whispering something into this girl's ear, saying how he was so good for her, but its over (is it still that makes you sweat) its probably refering to sex, with the shaking, and the body heat reference.

    in the second verse they have reached the pregnancy stage (and the stomach acid finds a new way of making you sick I hope you didn't expect to get all of the attention)

    though I'll agree that testosterone refers to the raging sex drive the guy has and harlequin probably to the cliche romances.

    Actually I think it all falls back to the movie Closer. You will have to have seen the movie to understand what I saying. But if you watch you will see that Anna and Larry get married even though she is having an affair with Dan which leads us back to "I write sins not tragedies" where there is a wedding but the bride is a whore. Then after one year of marriage Anna leaves Larry for Dan, and Larry is devastated and says that he is better than Dan (lying is the most...). And after that, Larry hits a strip club and is practilly begging Alice(stripper) for her to love him, and says he loves her, but actually he is FAKING it, he loves Anna. And also the obvious song titles which are quotes from the moive except for I write sins.... (:

    She cheated on him. He's just telling her all that she is missing out on by treating him like crap.

    Her hormones and need for romance, the kind of romance that doesn't last, but feels good, caused her to cheat. And it's her fault that she lost him because of it.

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”

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
