Down on My Luck Lyrics

Down on My Luck

Chicago rapper Vic Mensa first appeared in the hip-hop group Kids These Days, but when the band split up in 2013, he found himself - you guessed it - down on his luck.

This song came out of that time - he was broke and sleeping on a friend's couch in Hollywood while trying to get his solo career going. He hated Hollywood and was feeling depressed. Still, most of the music he was making was happy sounding, which didn't reflect what he was feeling. On this song, he expressed the gloom and apprehension that marked his true state of mind.

With some help from this song, Mensa pulled out of his funk and got his own place in Hollywood, which he decided wasn't so bad after all.

This is the lead single from his debut EP Street Lights. It finds Mensa rapping about how despite his quickly increasing fame and popularity, he still gets down on his luck. The Chicago spitter turns to drugs in order to escape from these hard times, but in the process he loses valuable time when he could be working on his career.

After guesting on Chance the Rapper's Acid Rap, Mensa released his mixtape Innanetape in September 2013. This song was conceived for that project, but didn't fit. After a tour with J. Cole, he repurposed the song, putting the lyrics to a house music beat created by his producer, Stefan Ponce, using Logic Pro software.

When they put the song together, Mensa and Ponce were thinking ahead to their next tour (Ponce served as Mensa's DJ for live performances), a trek with Disclosure. The music they came up with fit the vibe of tour, but also let listeners in on Mensa's story with this very personal track.

Mensa says that James Blake's music was an influence on the vocal processing of this song, especially the pitch shifts.

Adam's Song

According to Liza Bermingham, who was tour manager with the band, Blink-182 bass player Mark Hoppus wrote this when he was in a state of depression about being on tour and away from his family. The end of the song is a message that things will get better. (thanks, AMELIA - Melbourne, Australia)

Guitarist Tom DeLonge: "The story behind that is Mark read a letter someone sent him as an email, that a kid wrote before he committed suicide to his parents. We kind of got together and wrote this sad, slow song. It came out sadder than we ever thought it would, which is good too. Any song that moves you is good. Some people listen to it and go 'Wow, that's a real bum-out of a song.' But it's one of those things, a story of a kid not being happy in his life, crossed with us being really lonely on tour. At the end of it there's a better way out, there are better things to do than kill yourself." (thanks, Kaity - Harrisburg, PA)

The lyrics, "I traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder it was never plugged in at all" were inspired when guitarist Tom Delonge was playing in his garage and he and his amp were in a puddle. Luckily, the amp was not plugged in or he could have been electrocuted. (thanks Joe P. - Chicago, Illinois)

The line "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough" refers to the 1991 Nirvana's song "Come As You Are." There, the line is, "Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late."

Charlotte Sometimes Lyrics

All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of
Charlotte Sometimes
Into the night with
Charlotte sometimes

Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But Charlotte did not cry

The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed so close
So many other names

Sometimes I'm dreaming
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Expressionless the trance
Sometimes I'm dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes I'm dreaming
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming
She hopes to open shadowed eyes
On a different world
Come to me scared princess
Charlotte sometimes

On that bleak track
(see the sun is gone again)
The tears were pouring down her face
She was crying and crying for a girl
Who died so many years before

Sometimes I dream
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes I dream
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I dream
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming
There are so many different names
Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I dream

Charlotte sometimes crying for herself
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself
But it's always with love
With so much love it looks like
Everything else
Of Charlotte sometimes
So far away
Glass sealed and pretty
Charlotte sometimes

Charlotte Sometimes Song Chart

This song is based on one of Robert Smith's favorite books: a 1969 novel called Charlotte Sometimes by the British author Penelope Farmer. In the book, the title character finds herself transported 40 years back in time. Smith wrote this song using the same themes of time shifting and displacement.

During the filming of the video at a disused lunatic asylum in Virginia Water, Robert Smith found drawings by old inmates. Smith's fascination with the drawings led to the band's performances at benefit concerts for MENCAP (The Society For the Mentally Handicapped).

The American singer/songwriter Jessica Poland goes by the alias Charlotte Sometimes.

Album: The Head On The Door
Released: 1985

Close To Me Lyrics

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today,
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This Close To Me

Just try to see in the dark,
Just try to make it work,
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close,
I pull my eyes out,
Hold my breath,
And wait until I shake

But if I had your faith,
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end,
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me

But if I had your face,
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That my head on the door,
Was a dream

Close To Me Song Chart

The idea for the video came from a dream Robert Smith had where he was locked in a linen closet that fell off a cliff and into the ocean. (thanks, slave6 - Houston, TX)

Robert Smith (from Q Magazine's 1001 Best Songs Ever): "It's weird because of all the songs we've written, Close To Me doesn't spring to mind as one of our best songs. It was a slightly surreal moment on the record and it wasn't even a definite album track during the recording. It was only when I did the vocal and got really extreme on the production, making it really claustrophobic sounding, that it came to life. Up till that point it was average."

"The video had quite a big impact too. I suggested to Tim (Pope, director) doing it in a wardrobe on top of a cliff because of the uncomfortable feeling and I think that cemented it in the Cure canon."

In 1990, a remix of this called the "closet mix" was released as a single, going to #13 in the UK. Another version of the song, the "closer mix," was included on the album Mixed Up.

Forever Lyrics

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

It's amazing the time that it's taking for you to come out here
I don't know what you do in there
Only so many ways you can change how light will hit your face
Or how you can fix your hair
You only got two eyes, two lips so why
It shouldn't really take long at all
But when you finally smile, 'cause it's just right
Damn, you look beautiful

You take Forever, ever, ever, ever, hm
But you're always worth waiting for
You take forever, ever, ever, ever, hm
I guess I'll wait a little more
Now I know it's time I realize I'mma be waiting half my life, yeah
With my back up against the door
'Cause you take forever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever ever
But you're always worth waiting for

And you lie through your teeth
When you try to convince me that you'll be
That you'll be out in less than five
Because we both know that the only way that you will ever leave
Is if we set the whole place on fire

You already said you had the perfect dress
So why you gotta try more
No matter how late it gets I must confess
Damn you look beautiful

You take forever, ever, ever, ever, hm
But you're always worth waiting for
You take forever, ever, ever, ever, oh yeah
I guess I'll wait a little more
Now I know it's time I realize I'mma be spending half my life, yeah
With my back up against the door
'Cause you take forever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever ever
But you're always worth waiting for

You take forever, ever, ever, ever
I guess I'll wait a little more
Now now now whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh whoa oh oh oh, yeah
Whoa oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I guess I'll wait a little more

Forever Song Chart

Eric Clapton provided inspiration for this song. "I really wanted to write a song like Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight,'" Grammar told Radio.com . "It's just such a sweet sentiment. It's so simple but so genuine."

"Everyone has had that moment that he's talking about in that song," he continued. "It's almost too sweet but I know that feeling so it gets a pass. 'Forever' is that. Women take so long to get ready but when they get out of the bathroom they look smokin' hot. That's the struggle of men throughout history waiting by the door. The wait is so worth it. Always."

Grammer wrote this with the Los Angeles-based songwriter Jamie Hartman, whose credits include "Army Of Me" for Christina Aguilera and "Don't Let Me Know" for Katharine McPhee.

Released: 1983

The Walk Lyrics

I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
We walked around the lake
And woke up in the rain
And everyone turned over
Troubled in their dreams again

Visiting time is over
And so we walk away
And both play dead then cry out loud
Why we always cry this way?

I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything

I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door

I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything

Take me for a walk
Take me for a walk
Let's go for a walk
Take me for a walk

The Walk Song Chart

When this was first released many people thought The Cure had ripped off the sound of New Order's "Blue Monday." Though many fingers were pointed at The Cure, no actions were ever taken due to the fact that this was written and recorded before, but released after "Blue Monday." The likeness between the two was proven to be nothing more than coincidence.

There have been several versions of this track. The band re-recorded it for their 1990 remix album Mixed up, as the original master tapes had been lost. They also recorded an acoustic version for their 2001 Greatest Hits album, which included a bonus disc featuring exclusively acoustic renderings of their songs.

This was the first Cure song to enter the UK top 20, and it put unprecedented pressures on the band for commercial success. In a 1983 interview with the Italian magazine Rockerilla, vocalist and primary lyricist Robert Smith said: "There was so much pressure around 'The Walk' because it went in the charts and now everyone wants another single. We must resist this temptation, I'm tired of being bound to the same group of people, the same music area. People don't understand why we split up, since this would be the ideal moment to take advantage of three years of incessant touring. Everyone was saying that our next album would be the definitive one, but we decided to call it quits without reaching our initial goals."

This song originally came to vocalist Ben Romans-Hopcraft in a dream when it was performed by an incarnation of American rock band Smith Westerns. He recalled to NME: "I thought, 'These melodies are crazy.' I woke up and realized it was actually my melody because it was my dream."

"There's a video on my laptop of me recording it half-asleep in my pants that I found a couple of weeks later."

M Lyrics

Hello iMage
Sing me a line from your favorite song
Twist and turn
But you're trapped in the light
All the directions were wrong

You'll fall in love with somebody else
Tonight

Help yourself
But tell me the words
Before you fade away
You reveal all the secrets
To remember the end
And escape someday

You'll fall in love with somebody else
Again tonight

Take a step
You move in time
But it's always back...
The reasons are clear
Your face is drawn
And ready for the next attack

M Song Chart

Cure front man Robert Smith wrote this for his wife Mary, who he commonly refers to as "M."

This might explain Smith's rather evasive answer to the inspiration for the song: "about a girl..." (Curenews, 1989).

The lyrics are even more cryptic, though perhaps most revealing is the opening line "hello image," which, given what we know about the inspiration of the song, seems to equate Mary with the reflection of Smith himself.

Gasolina Song Chart

This was the first ever worldwide reggaetón hit. The genre is a Latino-inspired fusion of dancehall, salsa and hip-hop and had been popular amongst the Puerto Rican community in America since the 1990s.

The song was set to an infectious dance beat with lyrics almost entirely in Spanish describing a woman who likes to go out and have a good time. Daddy Yankee commented to Billboard magazine: "I think part of the success of the track was people looking for some hidden meaning: Was I talking about alcohol, about drugs? That track is completely literal. It's the most innocent song I've ever written."

The chorus "A mi me gusta la gasoline, dame más gasoline" is a very popular Puerto Rican saying. It translates as "I like gasoline, give me more gasoline."

The line "dame más gasolina" was sung by reggaetón singer Glory (born Glorimar Montalvo Castro), who is also known as "La Gata Gangster."

This was used in a TV advertising campaign for the 2006 Citroën C2 Deejay, which ran through the spring and summer of 2005.

The Barrie Fino album was the first-ever reggaetón long player to sell over one million copies in the United States and be certified platinum by the RIAA. It was the best-selling Latin album and tropical album of the 2000s.

Lights On Lyrics

I shy away in my mind
In hopes in that I could share this place with you
You’ll be the first one to find
The shadows that make the girl you undo
'Cause the man that you are is to find
By the way you act in the light
Break or seize me
If the flame gets blown out in the shine
I will know that you can not be mine
Never leave me

When I trust you we can do it with the Lights On
When I trust you we’ll make love until the morning
Let me tell you all my secrets and I’ll whisper ‘til the day’s done

When I trust you we can do it with the lights on
When I trust you we’ll make love until the morning
Let me tell you all my secrets and I’ll whisper ‘til the day’s done

Break or seize me
Let the things that I tell you survive
In the way that you handle your size
Never leave me

When I trust you we can do it with the lights on
When I trust you we’ll make love until the morning
Let me tell you all my secrets and I’ll whisper ‘til the day’s done

When I trust you we can do it with the lights on
When I trust you we’ll make love until the morning
Let me tell you all my secrets and I’ll whisper ‘til the day’s done

When I trust you we can do it with the lights on
When I trust you we’ll make love until the morning
Let me tell you all my secrets and I’ll whisper ‘til the day’s done

When I trust you we can do it with the lights on
When I trust you we’ll make love until the morning
Let me tell you all my secrets and I’ll whisper ‘til the day’s done

For many, the initial reaction to the song's chorus is that it is about physical vulnerability in a sexual relationship. However Twigs told Pitchfork the lyric isn't as lustful as it seems. "Some of the songs that people think are the most sexual are not at all to me," she said. "Like when I sing, 'If you want to touch me you can do it with the lights on,' that's a metaphor for letting certain people see the different, ugly sides of you that others won't be able to see."

Somewhere along the line the chorus got altered as the lyric actually goes, "When I trust you we can do it with the lights on."
