This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Came home tonight
Felt like I'd die of loneliness
Strange you think
Popularity
Looking for a simple life
Life ain't simple
I'm tired and sick but I
Don't want to be alone
I'll go to a party
But I don't really want to
For now I'm sitting out here on my porch
Writing in the dark air
Listening to
My little black cat maow
Trying to vent some of the terrible passion
That's coursing through me
Something about you
Something about spending the afternoon
Asleep in your arms
I hate you
Fucker
Felt like I'd die of loneliness
Strange you think

Looking for a simple life
Life ain't simple
I'm tired and sick but I
Don't want to be alone
I'll go to a party
But I don't really want to
For now I'm sitting out here on my porch
Writing in the dark air
Listening to
My little black cat maow
Trying to vent some of the terrible passion
That's coursing through me
Something about you
Something about spending the afternoon
Asleep in your arms
I hate you

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i think this song is about realising just how much shit you have put up with and how unhappy it has made you. doing things for other people, even being in a relationship you're not happy with. i just love this song. it's so brutal. anyways, that's what i think...
I think the very end of the song is funny as hell.
I hate you
Fucker
I think its about staying with someone, loving them but hating your dependance upon them at the same time.
I think its about staying with someone, loving them but hating your dependance upon them at the same time.
hm .. that sounds so familiar to me ...
It's like going out whith some good friends but don't feeling good with them...
But you keep going out with them to prevent from being alone, and when you're with them you keep wondering if you'd still go out with them ... 'cause you don't enjoy yourself and wonder if you are really a friend to them.
Damnit Mr. E, how did you know that I would feel like this? Shockdelica hit it on the head.
I agree somewhat with shockdelica's interpretation, but not fully. To me it's always seemed like this is a breakup song... This explains why he can't seem to figure out what to do with himself. Feeling lonely, but not feeling like doing anything about it. Just sitting around staring into the night. The "Something about you / Something about spending the afternoon / Asleep in your arms"-bit seems like a memory, and the closing lines are like his way of convincing himself that instead of missing this someone desperately, he tries to get angry instead, you know, "trying to vent this terrible passion"... But in reality, he doesn't hate this particular someone, no matter how hard he tries.
the lyric should actually be: "WRITING in the dark air"
And, to me, the song seems to be about E feeling lonely, even though he's considered a popular guy - a rock star, at this point. Even around all these people, he feels sad and alone - and is thinking of one person in particular.
The end could be him feeling bitter towards that person, for not being with him - or him talking to himself, hating himself for feeling this way.
For me, this song was always about what I wanted to happen, and how terrible I was at trying to get to the situation. The asleep in your arms was what I wanted- what I got was a lost friend, depression, and painful memories. So I hated me.
The fucker.
