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”
Sullen hours of the evening
Wait, I heard a bird, it's singing your song
Even though you didn't have one.
I can't help but think of you
Why do I bother?
Are we speaking the same language?
Missed communication going round and round
Spinning back around.
I need to know how you feel.
Why don't you come back with me tonight?
Think I like you
Why did you come back with me tonight?
Is this love, or just infatuation for you?
Sleeping in my arms tonight
Wait a minute
I never told you how I feel
Probably because I don't really understand you.
Spin!
Swim!
Scream! [x3]
When I think of you
I get tired
I get tired
Can I let you in, let you in?
Can I really trust you, I don't know?
I want to fly now.
Think to myself.
You should say what you mean.
We are now
You were
When you were
When you were
When you were
When you were
We are
We are more
We are no more
I'll take her there
Until she don't wanna be with me
Painted flowers in the restaurant
The air there wasn't clean
I'm missing you, that's all I know
"Lights reflect the water
Wind blows quietly
The water doesn't care.
It's dark and the lake is frozen
Wait for something wild.
The trees are dead and dries out
Wait for something wild..."
Do we sail?
Do we try to sail?
In the lake it has a beauty
That in her I also see.
Well I thought it was a strange world.
Still do,
Too many making my confusion
Just where are we now?
I've been dreaming of a beautiful world,
Its could be someday, maybe with you.
Are you an illusion?
Talk with me again one day
Do you ever make sense of yourself?
You were always in the back of my mind
Thinkin' of you
I could never understand why
Now I know I always want to be there for you.
May not be the same as before
At least I'm with you
You never let me know how you feel
Probably because I always confuse you.

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this is a great song and will be considered an epic in years to come.
in Mikee's words: "About a relationship destined not to work because the people involved aren't sure of their feelings or of themselves; the lyrics talk about confusion, lust, paranoia and all things inbetween - about losing a lover and not being able to find another one because one of the two can't let go, even though in their heart they know that it's not going to work...."
