This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Got up early, found something's missing
My only name
No one else sees but I got stuck
And soon forever came
Stopped pushing on for just a second, then nothing's changed
Who am I this time, where's my name?
I guess it crept away
No one's calling for me at the door
And unpredictable won't bother anymore
And silently gets harder to ignore
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me
Just let it go, what now can never be
I forgot that I might see
So many beautful things
I forgot that I might need
To find out what life could bring
Take this happy ending away, it's all the same
God won't waste this simplicity on possibility
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
This trace of blame
Frozen still I thought I could stop
Now who's gonna wait
No one's calling for me at the door
And unpredictable won't bother anymore
And silently gets harder to ignore
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me
Just let it go, what now can never be
Now what do I do?
Can I change my mind?
Did I think things through?
It was once my life it was my life at one time
My only name
No one else sees but I got stuck
And soon forever came
Stopped pushing on for just a second, then nothing's changed
Who am I this time, where's my name?
I guess it crept away
No one's calling for me at the door
And unpredictable won't bother anymore
And silently gets harder to ignore
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me
Just let it go, what now can never be
I forgot that I might see
So many beautful things
I forgot that I might need
To find out what life could bring
Take this happy ending away, it's all the same
God won't waste this simplicity on possibility
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
This trace of blame
Frozen still I thought I could stop
Now who's gonna wait
No one's calling for me at the door
And unpredictable won't bother anymore
And silently gets harder to ignore
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me
Just let it go, what now can never be
Now what do I do?
Can I change my mind?
Did I think things through?
It was once my life it was my life at one time

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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love this song! It's so well written.
I don't know if she's committing suicide like someone said. I think she feels stuck in a rut and depressed in her life, probably in a long-term lifeless relationship. She's reflecting on how she got to the point in her life where she's so unhappy. But by asking herself "what now" she realizes that she just forgot to notice the beautiful things that surround her regularly.
Official word on this, at least from Dave Dresden, who helped create the best known version of the song, is
"'Beautiful things' is a real-life stoy about one of mavie's friend who got married at a young age to a successful man and they had kids. Mavie interpreted her situation into a song. it's a song about regret. a song about a someone who is not ready to settle down and be a housewife in the suburbs. it originally had very different lyrics and was called 'Annie'
When Mavie and David perform acoustic shows, she sometimes sings the original words as they are even more depressing and paint the picture of her friend's situation even better."
So can we stop with the suicide and drugs stuff now?
Would anyone happen to know where I could find the original lyrics?
I think it's about making a choice, and wanting to know what would have happened if a different choice had been made.
it just makes me happy to be alive
For some reason this song reminds me of being in a dead end relationship with someone. But your heart is somewhere else. Sometimes being when your stuck down with someone you feel that this mihgt be it.
No one's calling for me at the door. And unpredictable won't bother anymore. And silently gets harder to ignore.
i think this part means, she might feel that no one wants her anymore. And having the feeling of surprise and unpredictability is not going to happen for her anymore. because she feels that this life may be all she has.
silently gets harder to ignore... she wants out. she recogonizes that shes in pain and needs to break loose.
beautiful tihngs could mean, a new love a new project a new something....
No one else sees but I got stuck, and soon forever came. Stopped pushing on for just a second, then nothing's changed.
she tried to keep going, to make this work but she realized that it won't.
This song seems like it's about a girl who commits suicide. After she did it and starts slipping away, she realizes everything that she'll be leaving behind.
i think this song could be about marriage
i agree with yasminalesandra.
yeah that!
To me it's about a girl who commits suicide and this is the after realization of what she has done.
