And when you're feeling blue
No one to talk to you
And you don't know what to do
Then see if I care
Oh, you think nothing of me
Say that you don't love me
The time is coming
When you won't feel like you do now
You gonna call my name
You know that you're to blame
Oh, you won't be the same
Then see if I care

Mending slowly, all wounds, effortlessly
As the burden of his sunken child is lifted
But effortlessly again carried
Faintly to the stone heart of an angry son
An angry son who has done his swallowing
His memories are bitten pills
So many bitten pills that he has collected
Like the fallen pieces of the broken ground which he now moves on
This ground so unsettled, so endlessly unsettled
He recounted with the weight of the sunken earth
And still he moves on

This is Earth
Earth which he has moved on and collected, settled to his own liking
And still he moves on
A voice in the back of his head reminding him
That this is stolen, that this is not his
All these moments, this precious time spent, moments in gravity
All this anxious waiting
All this time spent waiting

All this pain that you know
All this effortless moving, all this pain that you will ever know
In waking hours, time spent in these moments

Though he is living, silently in moments
And forgiving relevance, it is in his heart he is holding
And calling behind sadness of empty fields
It is in these moments of time well spent, in these moments of gravity
This time well spent
A look to heaven, sighing tears of angels and a night sky
Racing
Racing, yelling softly
This is the moment
This is the moment

A look to heaven, sighing tears of angels and a night sky
This is the moment
Holding moments and forgiving relevance, it is in his heart
Calling behind the sadness of empty fields
All these moments of time, time well spent, time knows better

Behind tired eyes, behind tired eyes, I think he's waiting
Knowing your destiny, he calls him the angry son

This is the moment
This is the moment
This is the moment
This is the moment of truth
Running out of time
They don't know me, know me
They don't know me
This is the next last moment
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
This is the moment
This is the moment
I am the angry son
I am the angry son

I am the angry son
I am the angry son

Sighing tears of angels and a night sky, this is the moment

    This is probably one of the most potent "emo" songs ever. It's just incredible how the song wells up into a crescendo, then settles back down again into the slow, whispered parts. And the lyrics are beautiful, too.

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”

Mountain Song
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."
