Take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

I lit my pain on fire
and I watched it all burn down
Now I'm dancing in the ashes
and there's no one else around
Cause I want to be apart of something
This is just a story of a broken soul

As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem let this all pass me by

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

I'm burning in the heavens
and I'm drowning in the hell
My souls in a coma
and none of my friends can tell
I'm reaching out of getting something
This is just a story of a broken soul

As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem let this all pass me by

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

Don't shut me out

Does anyone around me feel the same
Just put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain

As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem let this all pass me by

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem let this all pass me by

Take me
Don't break me

    for me. this song is about him having "half-friends", friends that are his friends but aren't because he's not close to them & cant talk to them and tell them how he feels because they don't really care. so he's saying take me and let me in, so he can have someone to talk to because he feels shut out & alone and wants to be part of something.

    thats how I interpret the song and i can really relate to that because i'm in the same situation right now:-(

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."
