Let's have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Let's have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

I wanna kiss you
But if I do then I might miss you, babe
It's complicated and stupid
Got my ass squeezed by sexy Cupid
Guess he wants to play, wants to play
A love game, a love game

Hold me and love me
Just wanna touch you for a minute
Baby three seconds isn't enough
For my heart to quit it

Let's have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Don't think too much just bust that kick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
Doin' the love game

Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
Doin' the love game

I'm on a mission
And it involves some heavy touching, yeah
You've indicated your interest, I'm educated in sex, yes
And now I want it bad, want it bad
A love game, a love game

Hold me and love me
Just want touch you for a minute
Baby three seconds isn't enough
For my heart to quit it

Let's have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Don't think too much just bust that kick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
Doin' the love game

Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
Doin' the love game

I can see you staring there from across the block
With a smile on your mouth and your hand on your huh!
The story of us, it always starts the same
With a boy and a girl and a huh and a game
And a game, and a game, and a game, a love game

Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
Doin' the love game

Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
Doin' the love game

Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game? (Let's have some fun, this beat is sick)
Doin' the love game (I wanna take a ride on your disco stick)

Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
(Don't think too much just bust that kick)
Doin' the love game (I wanna take a ride on your disco stick)
Doin' the love game

    Lady GaGa had better be the future of pop music. She's inspired, innovative, intelligent, creative, beautiful, amazing. I'm obsessed and if the album doesn't come out soon I think I might die haha. That was a joke. But seriously, she is an artist who is actually worth the name. Vive GaGa!

    When she said "I wanna kiss you, but if I do I might miss you", I immediately thought of the end of Catcher in the Rye when Holden said "Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you just start missing everyone." Not saying that's how she intended it, it's obvious she didn't, but still, haha.

    For me, this song is about seeing someone in a club and wanting to have sex with them (sort of obvious with "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" haha) but not knowing where that will go to. Maybe a one night stand, a make out session, or even a 3 year relationship. Especially the "The story of us, it always starts the same, With a boy and a girl and a huh! and a game" Meaning her relationships usually start with sex. xoxo

    I love this song (and gaga) so much :)

    This song is about fucking to be honest, not really making love. She does say the word love, but this seems like she is "on a mission" to fuck someone. When you refer to love as a game, it's not really about "love". Song is typical, interesting beat, but the song doesn't have much "intelligence". It's just about someone wanting to fuck there you go. :/

    My Interpretation

    "Let's have some fun, this beat is sick I wanna take a ride on your disco stick"

    After partying for some extent of time while listening to a positively reviewed song, the narrator wishes to travel to a different location in order to engage in coitus, most likely with someone whom she met at the party who is likewise horny and a fan of casual sex.

    "I wanna kiss you But if I do then I might miss you, BABE It's complicated and stupid Got my ass squeezed by sexy cupid Guess he wants to play, wants to play A LoveGame, a LoveGame"

    Although the narrator is a fan of casual sex, and wishes to kiss and thereby start engaging in such with the horny gentleman whom she has been partying with, she is hesitant to do so, because she is afraid that she might become emotionally attached to him, which would complicate the nature of their relationship. It is difficult for her to decide what to do, especially with her being sexually attracted to him and the fact that he is palming her buttocks. He has made her aware of the fact that he, likewise, wants to engage in sexual activity with her, which makes her even hornier. The narrator refers to this whole psychological process as a "LoveGame".

    "Hold me and love me Just wanna touch you for a minute Maybe three seconds is enough for my heart to quit it."

    Despite the fact that the narrator believes it would be best to not give in to her sexual desires, she fails to remove herself from the situation and allows herself to be tempted by him. She wonders if by doing this she will soon forget about the fact that it would probably be in her best interest to not become involved with the horny gentleman.

    "I'm on a mission And it involves some heavy touching, yeah You've indicated your interest I'm educated in sex, yes And now I want it bad A LoveGame, a LoveGame."

    The narrator has decided to move forward on the path to casual sex, which involves her grabbing his penis, and him firmly touching her vaginal region, as well as continuing to palm her buttocks and breasts, etc. She figures that this decision makes sense, collectively due to the facts that he has indicated his interest in this activity, and that she is not only a fan of this activity as well, but is also very experienced in this area. After continued foreplay, she even more strongly wants him to insert his erect penis into her vagina. She indicates that the "LoveGame" is still occurring, which interestingly makes her hornier despite the fact she was previously worried by her fear of emotional attachment.

    "I can see you staring there from across the block With a smile on your mouth and your hand on your, huh! The story of us, it always starts the same With a boy and a girl and a huh! and a game."

    Referring to an experience in the future with the same horny gentleman, the narrator summarizes the way in which the "LoveGame" can start again. All the horny gentleman has to do is smile and grab his own penis, which shocks her at first (use of the word "huh!"), and then starts to make her horny again. She will then repeat the process of debating with herself whether or not she should become involved with him. As far as it pertains to the two of them, the "LoveGame" begins the same way every time.

    Overall, the narrator is an extremely horny and indecisive individual. It seems that if she wasn't so horny, then she might finally be able to do things that involve self-control, such as making long-term decisions, particularly whether or not she will continue to become involved with the horny gentleman and allow herself to be exposed to situations where she will inevitably engage in coitus with him whenever he decides to work his smooth moves such as buttocks palming and the ol' smile-and-grab-your-penis routine.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
Album art
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
