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.
Heaven don’t want me
Heaven don’t fool me
No one will understand
And it’s alright - yeah…
I’m feelin’ these changes
Everybody is strangers
No one will lend a hand
And I guess that’s life
You say, you got a feelin’
You figured out, the writing on the wall
And angels on the ceiling
Don’t come to you, when you call
You found your own religion
And searched your heart, for somethin’ more
Still naked in the kitchen
Tryin’ to wipe yourself off, of the floor
No, I won’t take you for granted
These broken arms, can hold you
No, I won’t take you for granted
[Chorus 1]
Cause I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water, yeah
I’m hiding under water
Wash me away
You say, it don’t matter
I’m livin’ loud, I’m livin’ long
And hear the phony laughter
Echoing on and on
I’m hiding under water
I pray to God, wash me away
Can’t hear the child’s wonder
My innocence got hushed, along the way - yeah
No, I won’t take you for granted
These broken arms, can hold you
No, I won’t take you for granted
[Chorus 2]
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water, yeah
Wash me away
Wash me away
And let me hear you say, it’s o.k.
I’m hiding under water
Wash me away
You don’t say, a word
Inside I know
You don’t say, that it hurts
And tonight killed slowly
All the love, in the world
Won’t let you let go - let you, lettin’ go now
[Chorus 3]
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water, yeah
Wash me away
Wash me away
And let me hear you say, I’m o.k.
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water
Yeah, I’m hiding under… hey
I’m hiding under...
Wash me away
Wash me away
Maybe heaven will want me
Maybe heaven won’t fool me
Maybe someone will give a damn
And have a life
Heaven don’t fool me
No one will understand
And it’s alright - yeah…
I’m feelin’ these changes
Everybody is strangers
No one will lend a hand
And I guess that’s life
You say, you got a feelin’
You figured out, the writing on the wall
And angels on the ceiling
Don’t come to you, when you call
You found your own religion
And searched your heart, for somethin’ more
Still naked in the kitchen
Tryin’ to wipe yourself off, of the floor
No, I won’t take you for granted
These broken arms, can hold you
No, I won’t take you for granted
[Chorus 1]
Cause I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water, yeah
I’m hiding under water
Wash me away
You say, it don’t matter
I’m livin’ loud, I’m livin’ long
And hear the phony laughter
Echoing on and on
I’m hiding under water
I pray to God, wash me away
Can’t hear the child’s wonder
My innocence got hushed, along the way - yeah
No, I won’t take you for granted
These broken arms, can hold you
No, I won’t take you for granted
[Chorus 2]
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water
I’m hiding under water, yeah
Wash me away
Wash me away
And let me hear you say, it’s o.k.
I’m hiding under water
Wash me away
You don’t say, a word

Maybe heaven won’t fool me
Maybe someone will give a damn
And have a life

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song

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 don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
what i think is that everything that she's tried she has done wrong and always messed up and found a person that she's in love with and is scared but yet knows that she can love him even tho she's hurting because she wants to be with him so bad or she just feel's like an outcast and no one cares or knows how she feel's
