新宿のカメラ屋さんの
階段を下りた茶店は
ジッポの油とクリーム
あんたの台詞が香った
云ったでしょ?「俺を殺して」
今日は特別に笑って
ばかりのあたしは丁度
さっき一度夢で死んだ
あんたを仕方無く愛す
どうか 見捨てたりしないで
洗って 切って 水の中
呼吸器官は冒される
あたしが完全に乾くの
いまきちんと見届けて
磨いて 裂いて 水の中
無重力に委される
あたしが完全に溶けたら
すぐきちんと召し上がれ
あんたが目の前で絶えて
嗚咽を止められなかった
何だか浮世の全て
恋しくて堪らなかった
Oh, do not make me have those
kind of dreams again.
A scent so sweet that it
got me dirty.
The troops to protect
me were out on patrol.
Please watch me closely
and do check to see
I dry out completely,
I dry through and through.
A lie so big that it
got me dirty.
As soon as I said it,
a wound opened up.
And when I do melt
down entirely,
immediately eat my everything.

You said it did not you?
"Just do it, kill me"
So wash me, cut me,
I amunderwater.
My lungs and breathing are
quite affected.
Please watch me closely
and do check to see
I dry out completely,
I dry through and through.
Come shine me, tear me.
I am underwater,
relying completely on
zero gravity.
And when I do melt down
entirely,
immediately eat my everything.
...Bon appetit...
I am not afraid of a
little boredom
Why did the two of them ever
chance to meet?
I am not afraid of a
little boredom
Why did the two of them ever
chance to meet?

    My Interpretation

    I feel like this has a lot to do with loving someone, and how that relates to the vastness of the rest of the world.

    She says that meeting this person was complete happenstance, and the feeling to them was so powerful they said, "Just do it, kill me." And to her, she valued the world and everything around her so much, and she still does ("all of the little things of this little world/are so very dear to me it hurts to think of them"), but now she has to deal with the incredible attraction she has to this person. Yet, she's still willing to bear all of herself to them, and become completely vulnerable (the wash me/cut me verses). It's a very deep, all-consuming ("i'm underwater"), spiritual sort of love that's happening.

    She acknowledges all of this, but even still, at the end of the song, I feel like the love she felt frightened her. She tells the world, "I'm not afraid of a little boredom. I didn't need to meet this person."

    I get chills every time I hear this song.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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”

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."
