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”
And there are those who
Hadn't found the speaking so wrong
Is it wrong?
Of Pavolov lore, they run
Rampant through the floors, is this wrong?
Feels so wrong
Happened on a respirator
In the basement, are they gone?
Are they gone?
Stung the slang of a gallows bird
Rationed a dead letter pure
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Trackmarked amoeba lands craft
Cartwheel of scratches
Dress the tapeworm as pet
Tenticles smirk, please
Flinched the cocooned meat
Infra-recon forgets
Now there are those who find
Comfort in the breathing, wrong
Is it wrong?
It houses the watchful eyes
Panting in a pattern in droves
Are they gone?
Happened on a respirator
In the basement, is it gone?
Are they gone?
Stung the slang of a gallows bird
Sanctioned a dead letter pure
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Trackmarked amoeba lands craft
Cartwheel of scratches
Dress the tape worm as pets
Tentacles smirk, please
Flinch the cacooned meat
Infra-recon forgets
Evaporated the fur
Because it covers them
If you only knew
The plans they had for us
Evaporated the fur
Because it covers them
If you only knew
The plans they had for us
They used to have pulses in them
But impulse has made the strong
They used to have pulses in them
But impulse has made them strong
Evaporated the fur
Because it covers them
If you only knew
The plans they had for us
Trackmarked amoeba lands craft
Cartwheel of scratches
Dress the tape worm as pets
Tentacles smirk, please
Flinch the cacooned meat
Infra-recon forgets
Gotta be a way
Of getting out
Are you just growing old?
Trackmarked amoeba lands craft
Cartwheel of scratches
Dress the tapeworm as pets
Hadn't found the speaking so wrong

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."
