Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Heldrasil, O Heldrasil
Den dimholjda gudinnan Hel
i nio varldar styr.
Pa Gjallarbron, i alven Gjoll
de doda soker Dig.
Allt for manga infor Dig fortvivla,
O stora gudinna i Hel,
Dit skote ar moder till tiden
hos Dig tager doden sin del.
Se nornorna spinna var trao,
vart ode styra de
Till Gnipahalan gar var fard
likt Balder da vi do.
Vi till Helheim likt Hermod ska resa
hos Doden vi finna vart guld,
nar Balder en gang kommer ater
fran Urtid, Verdandi och Skuld.
Nar Helgrinden ska oppna sig
da stiger solen upp
nu aterfodd ur vinterns djup
tillsammans med hoder.
Som en skugga fanns Loke hos Hoder
nar Balder blev dodad med list.
och alla forsvann ner till Helheim
med Misteltens magiska kvist.
Se Helgrinden som oppnar sig
och guden stiger upp
nu aterfodd ur vinterns djup
med solen som sitt svard.
Den fordolda gudinnan i Helheim
bedriver bed livet sitt spel.
Ditt skote ar moder till tiden
O stora gudinna i Hel!
Den dimholjda gudinnan Hel
i nio varldar styr.
Pa Gjallarbron, i alven Gjoll
de doda soker Dig.
Allt for manga infor Dig fortvivla,
O stora gudinna i Hel,
Dit skote ar moder till tiden
hos Dig tager doden sin del.
Se nornorna spinna var trao,
vart ode styra de
Till Gnipahalan gar var fard
likt Balder da vi do.
Vi till Helheim likt Hermod ska resa
hos Doden vi finna vart guld,
nar Balder en gang kommer ater
fran Urtid, Verdandi och Skuld.
Nar Helgrinden ska oppna sig
da stiger solen upp
nu aterfodd ur vinterns djup
tillsammans med hoder.
Som en skugga fanns Loke hos Hoder
nar Balder blev dodad med list.
och alla forsvann ner till Helheim
med Misteltens magiska kvist.
Se Helgrinden som oppnar sig
och guden stiger upp
nu aterfodd ur vinterns djup
med solen som sitt svard.
Den fordolda gudinnan i Helheim
bedriver bed livet sitt spel.
Ditt skote ar moder till tiden
O stora gudinna i Hel!

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."

Translation:
HELHEIM
Heldrasil, oh Heldrasil
The godess Hel shrouded in mist rules in nine worlds On Gjallarbron, in the river Gjöll the dead seek you
Far too many before you despair Oh great godess in Hel Your lap is the mother of time With you death takes it's part
See the Weird Sisters spinning our thread Our fate they rule To Gnipahalan our journey goes Like Balder then we die
We shall travel to Helheim like Hermod did At death we find our gold When Balder once again returns from Urtid, Verdandi and Skuld
When Helgrinden shall open up the sun rises Now reborn from the depth of winter together with Höder
Like a shadow was Loke with Höder when Balder was killed with cunning And everybody disappeared down to Helheim with Mistelten's magical twig
See Helgrinden which opens up and the god arises Now reborn from the depth of winter with the sun as it's sword
The hidden godess in Helheim runs a game with her life Your lap is the mother of time Oh great godess in Hel!
Text from booklet:
"Hel, the goddess of death is also the goddess of fulfillment. Her name means both 'hole' and 'whole' and she governs not only death but also the process of birth and rebirth. Hel was hurled down to the world of ice in the beginning of time there she created nine dark worlds. The bright god Balder and the power of the sun descend into her misty realm, but in the future Balder will be reborn and rise from the womb of Hel like the sun in the springtime."
I don't speak Swedish, but I think it's about the Norse myth where Loki tricks Hod into killing Baldur.
