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.

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”
Maybe I've been on the road too long
Living my life through these songs
I guess loving a music man
Really wasn't in your plans
Does it matter if I'm sorry again
And why should I apologize
You knew all along this was my life
You know my in's and out's
All of my fears and doubts
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
And this whole world seems cold and empty
Someone please turn on the lights
Lord if there's an angel you could send me
I could use one here tonight
Where am I supposed to go
My only home was in your soul
I know that I can't stay here
And drown in a pool of tears
Should I pack my pride and face this life alone
And this whole world seems cold and empty
Someone please turn on the lights
Lord if there's an angel you could send me
I could use one here tonight
Maybe it's me who's cold and empty
And in my darkness I cannot see the light
Please God if there's an angel you could send me (if there's an angel)
Cause there's one missing from my life
You are my heart, you are my soul
Wherever you are, that's where I go
You know my in's and out's
All of my dears and doubts
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
Baby it's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
Yeah, the life I love, the life I love, but it's you I can't live without
Living my life through these songs
I guess loving a music man
Really wasn't in your plans
Does it matter if I'm sorry again
And why should I apologize
You knew all along this was my life
You know my in's and out's
All of my fears and doubts
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
And this whole world seems cold and empty
Someone please turn on the lights
Lord if there's an angel you could send me
I could use one here tonight
Where am I supposed to go
My only home was in your soul
I know that I can't stay here
And drown in a pool of tears
Should I pack my pride and face this life alone
And this whole world seems cold and empty
Someone please turn on the lights
Lord if there's an angel you could send me
I could use one here tonight
Maybe it's me who's cold and empty
And in my darkness I cannot see the light
Please God if there's an angel you could send me (if there's an angel)
Cause there's one missing from my life
You are my heart, you are my soul
Wherever you are, that's where I go
You know my in's and out's
All of my dears and doubts
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
Baby it's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
Yeah, the life I love, the life I love, but it's you I can't live without

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."
