Lyrics, derive meaning...let me hear what you take from them.
Nada by the Refreshments
--------------
I see the lightning from the storm down in Mexico
And I see my speedometer doesn't work
I cross the desert and disappear into the tumbleweeds
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
I hear the thunder from the storm down in Mexico
And I leave the border far behind
I feel the dust coat my teeth and turn my sweat to mud
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
There ain't no moral to this story at all
Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
I've been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black soul of mine
to come alive
I feel the wind blow from the storm down in Mexico
Gasoline for another hundred miles
I cross the river and leave my shoes up on the other side
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
There ain't no moral to this story at all
Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
Been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black sun-cracked soul of mine
to come alive
Come alive, yeah
Well, I feel the rain drops from the storm down in Mexico
Truck will go no further, out of gas
I walk through the desert past the lizard and rattlesnake
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
There ain't no moral to this story at all
Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
There ain't no morals to these stories at all
And everything I tell you, you can bet will be a lie
I been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black sun-cracked numb-inside soul of mine
to come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive

Bought a pancho and sandals
I threw away my shoes
Brought a toothbrush and a razor
I probably won?t use
Hit the track, turned my back
on the Headline News
On my way to meet the moon on the bay
Where she?s risin? big and full and blue
Where the gringo boys got their dark sunglasses
And the girls on the beach
are all shakin? their fingers
Cause no matter how dark the lenses
They can see that the eyes
and the minds of the boys
are somewhere they ain?t supposed to be?.
The breeze is blowin? me a new perfume
It?s givin? my heart a little elbow room
And the kids are lightin? firecrackers
Boom! Boom! Boom!
No one recalls when the clock on the wall
stopped wavin? its hands all day
Maybe it died of loneliness or boredom
Rest in peace, you know it?s better this way
The breeze is blowin? me a new perfume
It?s givin? my heart a little elbow room
And the kids are lightin? firecrackers
Boom! Boom! Boom!
And all my friends are laughin?
at each other?s lies
And the sea is singin? lullabies
And everything?s slowin? down
flowin? counterclockwise
Some of the Americans are ugly Americans
But we know we ain?t all that way
So we nod and we smile
and we wait a little while
Because they never stay anywhere
very long , anyway
The breeze is blowin? me a new perfume
It?s givin? my heart a little elbow room
And the radio is kickin? out a rock ?n? roll tune
C?mon, baby, take me back to the hotel room?!
And all my friends are laughin?
at each other?s lies
And the sea is singin? lullabies
And everything?s slowin? down
flowin? counterclockwise?

Leave an Open Door by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
---------------------
I can see the light all around your silhouette
Leave an open door behind you
My heart went running after you
but I ain?t caught it yet
Leave an open door behind you
Leave an open door
Sing about the dawn
in the middle of the night
Leave?
Stumble through the dark
so that we might see the light
Leave?
Leave an open door
Leave an open door
Leave an open door behind you
Leave an open door behind you
Carry on?
Carry on?
Carry on?
Carry on?
Leave an open door
Destitution?
Persecution?
Retribution?
Execution?
Revolution!
Restitution!!
Absolution!!!
Evolution!!!!
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
We never run out of hope if we can love one another!
When they raise the price of bread
When they lower the wage
Together we hold our key inside of their cage!
Carry on?.
Leave an open door
Leave an open door
Leave an open door behind you
We can see the light all around your silhouette?.

So what do you take away from these, what do they mean to you? Let me hear what you think.
