I go nowhere high, go nowhere warm
Until I see your smile and feel your calm
And I lick a dime, I crave for you, boy
You're like a parachute descending from the sky

But I'm sure you're on your way
Yes, I'm sure you're on the road

I go nowhere high, go nowhere warm
Until you're by my side, your hand in mine
And I've always known, you're like a feather
You go where wind and fire melt together

But I'm sure you're on your way home
Yes, I'm sure you're on the road

But I'm sure you're on your way
Yes, I know you're on the road

And I'm sure you're faster than before
Yes, I know you're somewhere on the road
And I reckon there is nothing more to say

    from what I gather, this song is about being left behind or forgotten by a lover

    I love this song so much. It does seem to be about someone who can only find comfort in their lover's arms but the lover has left so the person pines for their return.

    Maybe the person the narrator is talking about hasn't left, but is coming back. "I'm sure you're on your way" seems to suggest that she is speaking about him coming back to her. On her way to her, if you will.

    And she keeps on saying "Until," suggesting that she will see him again. Soon.

    I think that the person isn't coming back. Maybe she just hopes they will be...

    "You go where wind and fire melt together" i love the way that line sounds, although im unsure of its meaning.

    I means a lot to me. Whenever I hear it I start to cry. To me, it is about leaving or being apart from someone, being ok with it. Because you know it will all be allright and in your mind the person you aren't with anymore still is with you. ''And I reckon there is nothing more to say'' Is in my opinion the most beautiful sentence in this song. Because you can't help being apart, or that a relationship has ended. And you have to be ok with it. So that final sentence really calms me down.

    What Soundaddict says makes sense to me. I feel kind of the same way about this song. For me it's a very sad and unwanted breakup for both the people involved but there's just no other option. And "I'm sure you're on the way" translates to something like: I'm sure that you are trying to get better and solve your problems so we can be together again.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
