Lyrics To The Song 'Gibbed Me'

Decent Essays
[Verse 1]
Topanga is hot tonight, the city by the bay
Has movie stars and liquor stores and soft decay
The rumblin' from distant shores sends me to sleep
But the facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Life rocked me like Mötley
Grabbed me by the ribbons in my hair
Life rocked me ultra-softly
Like the heavy metal that you wear

[Chorus 1]
I'm flyin' to the moon again, dreamin' about heroin
How it gave you everything and took your life away
I put you on an aeroplane, destined for a foreign land
I hoped that you'd come back again
And tell me everything's okay, ay, babe, yeah

[Verse 2]
Topanga's hot today, Manson's in the air
And all my friends have gone, 'cause they still feel him here
I want to leave, I'll probably
…show more content…
Life rocked me like Mötley
Bad beginnin' to my new year
Life rocked me ultra-softly
Like the heavy metal that you hear

[Chorus 2]
I'm flyin' to the moon again, dreamin' about heroin
And how it gave you everything and took your life away
I put you on the aeroplane, destined for a foreign land
I thought that you'd come back again
To tell me everything's okay, ay, babe, yeah

[Bridge]
(It's fucking hot, hot) Winter in the city
Somethin' 'bout this weather made these kids go crazy
(It's hot) Even for February
Somethin' 'bout this sun has made these kids get scary
Oh, writin' in blood on my walls and shit
Like, ah, oh my God
Jumpin' off from the walls into the docks and shit
Oh, ho ho ho, I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't sick of it
Baby (baby) come on (come on) come on (come on)

[Chorus 3]
I'm flyin' to the moon again, dreamin' about marzipan
Taking all my medicine to take my thoughts away
I'm getting on that aeroplane, leavin' my old man again
I hope that I come back one day
To tell you that I really changed, baby

[Outro]
(It's hot, hot) Somethin' 'bout the city
Don't know what it is, it makes my head get crazy
Oh, makes me feel like I can change
Oh, ho ho ho, all of my evil ways and shit
Oh, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sick of

    Introduction to “Yo no fui, fue Teté” “Yo no fui, fue Teté” is an attempt to invade the consciousness of those living on this side. The same people who everyday leave a wound in the mind and subconscious of many individuals socially “unfit” in the gender-binary. Thus, excluded from the social discourse as inorganic creatures that for the lack of a proper categorization are so-called “del otro lado.” That border, which divides, us, those of this side and those of the other side, is what the poet is trying to tear down.…

    Does the Human brain differs by gender If you’re “listening” to the Cardinal’s baseball game, while “hearing” a voice in the background, then you must be the male in the house. The woman of the house will eventually make you hear and listen to the famous quote saying “Are you listening to me”? Why is it that men can hear but not listen? That’s a skill we develop as a child. Dave Barry, author of We’ve Got the Dirt on Guy Brains, uses word choice, figurative language, and comparison to get his sarcastic tone across on why the male brain functions the way it does.…

    Also, in verse four he says, “… that rush, that drug, that dope. Those pills, that crumb, that roach.” This ‘list’ of sorts positions the reader to understand the whole concept of the issue, to show that when you’re addicted those are the only things you think you need to survive, to feel thing, to smile. Macklemore also repeats how his life was going downhill throughout the song, further emphasising how much of an impact drugs can have on your…

    Coming to a Realization The best poems always bring up the good old times and past lovers. Artists often intertwine the two concepts in order to form beautiful narratives and thought provoking images. This is precisely what John Hollander has done with his poem, “An Old-Fashioned Song.” Throughout the 21-line poem, Hollander takes the reader on a melancholy trip that begins as a sad realization that there are no more walks through the woods, to a nostalgic story about a magical relationship between two young lovers that ended in tragic way. The poem makes use of unique and intentional literary skills, such as structure, tone, and choice words, in order to tell the story of a sad man who lost his lover and reminds himself of it by walking in…

    Out of all the music I have heard recently, the one that I believe was the best exhibit source for this assignment was “Getting Better” by the Beatles. Unlike the other songs in the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, this one has an indirect tension that is prevalent as the band explores some cheerful, hopeful reminiscences, strung together to create this musical piece. The main anecdote that this song embodies is that of the once hospitalized Ringo Star, who had tonsillitis and pharyngitis; this caused the band to find a replacement for the time until he could recover, so Jimmy Nichol served as the substitute. Every time Nichol played, the band asked how his playing was doing, and he would always respond by saying that it was getting…
