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.
Woke up this morning.
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together.
I started smiling
Cause you were smiling.
And we're all in this together
I'm made of atoms.
You're made of atoms
And we're all in this together
And long division
Just doesn't matter
Cause we're all in this together.
Yeah.
I saw you walking
In the city.
We're all in this together.
The city's changing
Cause we are changing
And we are all in this together.
Every 12 seconds
Someone remembers that
We're all in this together.
In the kitchen
Of your rent control apartment,
We're all in this together.
Come on, baby.
I don't mean to rush you.
I only wanted to reach out and touch you.
I gotta start to open my heart.
I know you think about
Jumping ship before it sinks,
But we are all in this together.
Ask a scientist.
It's quantum physics.
We are all in this together.
And on the subway
We feel like strangers,
But we're all in this together.
Yeah, I love you and
You love her and she loves him
But we are all int this togehter
You know, baby,
There's never been protection
In all the history of human connection,
Come on, darling,
It's all right to show me.
You don't ever need to be lonely
Once you start to open your heart.
I saw you crying.
I started crying.
Cause we're all in this together,
And then religion
It's a big decision,
But we're all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together.
I started smiling
Cause you were smiling.
And we're all in this together
I'm made of atoms.
You're made of atoms
And we're all in this together
And long division
Just doesn't matter
Cause we're all in this together.
Yeah.
I saw you walking
In the city.
We're all in this together.
The city's changing
Cause we are changing
And we are all in this together.
Every 12 seconds
Someone remembers that
We're all in this together.
In the kitchen
Of your rent control apartment,
We're all in this together.
Come on, baby.
I don't mean to rush you.
I only wanted to reach out and touch you.
I gotta start to open my heart.
I know you think about
Jumping ship before it sinks,
But we are all in this together.
Ask a scientist.
It's quantum physics.
We are all in this together.
And on the subway
We feel like strangers,
But we're all in this together.
Yeah, I love you and
You love her and she loves him
But we are all int this togehter
You know, baby,

I started crying.
Cause we're all in this together,
And then religion
It's a big decision,
But we're all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.

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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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 song covers so many angles. Racial tolerance. Religious tolerance.
It seems mostly about a person who wants to start taking care of others because he realizes that we're all the same, but people just won't allow it to happen because they find it hard to belive anyone would be looking out for them. I really like the idea that you don't have to be lonely if you don't want to be, because there is someone out there who will cry with you, or help you, because they know we're all stuck on this crazy, mixed-up planet and unless there is a major advance in rocket science, we're stuck here together for a while, so we might as well get along and make each other happy.
