This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Life lines and suicide crimes --
He found me in a state
Grabbed my purse and hitched a ride
With a Mrs. Jesus "how you been"
I've been cruisin' a good invention
But in some ways
I don't think it gets any easier
Your walking on the water
Bit by far my favorite one,
But now it seems we're drowning
In a drop of water love
And even as I'm climbing up the stairs
I know there's heaven there
And then empty arms that comes
With the morning star
Well, made my bed of
Cut roses by understanding
That the cause
It just comes first
With my Mrs. Jesus
The gospel changes meaning
If you follow John or Paul
And could you ever let it be
The Mary of it all
And even as I'm climbing up the stairs
Well, life lines and suicide crimes
There's the something every day
And there's someone always paging
My Mrs. Jesus
Your walking on the water
So if you get the Jones at the crossroad
The personals are great
If you're my way
Let me love you Mrs. Jesus
He found me in a state
Grabbed my purse and hitched a ride
With a Mrs. Jesus "how you been"
I've been cruisin' a good invention
But in some ways
I don't think it gets any easier
Your walking on the water
Bit by far my favorite one,
But now it seems we're drowning
In a drop of water love
And even as I'm climbing up the stairs
I know there's heaven there
And then empty arms that comes
With the morning star
Well, made my bed of
Cut roses by understanding
That the cause
It just comes first
With my Mrs. Jesus
The gospel changes meaning
If you follow John or Paul
And could you ever let it be
The Mary of it all
And even as I'm climbing up the stairs
Well, life lines and suicide crimes
There's the something every day
And there's someone always paging
My Mrs. Jesus
Your walking on the water
So if you get the Jones at the crossroad
The personals are great
If you're my way
Let me love you Mrs. Jesus

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I actually really like this song, as atypical as it may be among her old songs. It's the female, the nurturing Jesus figure, more in touch with Earth and its people and all its nuances than any man Jesus could be.
You could be right. But I've read up on a lot of Tori's book and it seems to me this song is about Mary Magdanlene.
the Gospel changes meaning if you follow JOHN or PAUL and could you ever LET IT BE the Mary of it all
I can't help but think that's referencing the Beatles. :'(
I was thinking exactly the same as shedontcare... I'd say it might be reference to the Beatles... not sure though,,,
i like the reference to led zeppelin's "stairway to heaven" too... "I'm climbing up the stairs/I know there's heaven there..."
The gospel changes meaning.. is obviously referring to how fragile religion really is, and how there is little consistency within it.
This feminine Jesus figure embodies a sense of peace and escape for scarlet, and is very in tune with mother nature. Quite opposite to the hostile patriarch in 'Pankcake', Mrs. Jesus is almost seductive in his understanding of the world.
I love this song in its own right, and never realized the possible Beatles/Zeppelin references, but I love them! To add to the Beatles, their song 'Let It Be' does reference "mother Mary", making the connection even more suspicious.
Interesting reference with the Morning Star, i.e. Lucifer. Not sure what that means within the song. But I'm certain the song's about Mary Magdalene.
perhaps the reference to the Morning star is the actual coming of morning or a new day since the "morning star" heralds a new day.
I think the John or Paul reference, refers to biblical literature written by both. The Gospel of John and then the Pauline letters (my dad's a preacher too, and I had to go to Xian school). I think the basic gist of this line is that different parts of the bible ("Gospel") were written by different men who had different agendas. There is, in the Nag Hammadi (lost biblical books) a book entitled "The Gospel of Mary Magdalene", and I think the other comments are correct that this book is about Mary Magdalene (there are those who believe that she and Jesus were married, hence "Mrs. Jesus"). In this book, Mary Magdalene is considered the most beloved by Jesus.
Of course, I could be completely wrong, and it is a reference to the Beatles.
