Every time I fall
I'm a little less me and a little bit more you
And everywhere I go
There's a little less there and a little bit more to lose
Did you ever wonder why
I can't decide if I'm a little bit dead or a little bit guarded
Cause even when I try
You and I are a little less there and just discarded

If we collapse
Under all the weight
Of our self-importance
What if it's too late

I threw it all away
It doesn't make it better
Why am I the ostracized
Maybe I can change
If I put it back together
If I'm right then I don't wanna know

Even if I could
I'll never be free from a little bit more than this
It won't do any good
Any other way is a little bit more to risk
But I say "Fuck it, risk it!"

If we collapse
Only time will tell
Obey the same disorders
And ride your ass to hell

I threw it all away
It doesn't make it better
Why am I the ostracized
Maybe I can change
If I put it back together
If I'm right then I don't wanna know

I threw it all away
It doesn't make it better
Why am I the ostracized
Maybe I can change
If I put it back together
If I'm right then I don't wanna know
Then I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
No, No, No

    Song Meaning

    Evel Knievel was one of the greatest stuntman in the history of the United States. Riding his motorcycle Knievel was able to achieve a lots of great challenge around the world. This life obviously led him to a lot of injuries & accidents. Despite all this injuries he did not died for one of his jumps, he passed away in 2007 for a idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. I think this song is about living ones life to to the fullest. Don't waste time getting all caught up in about how others may perceive you or judge you, live your life on your terms.

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."

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/
