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.
Eyes like flowers, I love the way you see, you see
You see you're the best thing that's happened to me
Maybe I should fight harder for you
But I said I'd let you go when you wanted me to
Have no power, I see the way you run, you run
You run as soon as we start to have fun
Maybe I will feel better alone
Or just feel something, my heart is turning to stone
So, so slow
Can you feel me letting go?
I, I know that we turn away
When the cracks begin to show
And now we're sleeping with the television and all the lights on
One of us is leaving soon but we're both already gone
Stuck at the lost and found, watch things disappear
Looking for the missing piece but it was never here
Every hour, I find a way, a way, a way
A way to convince myself to stay
Back and forth, I can't juggle
Lying here need to stand up and struggle
Ivory tower, I know the way you think, you think
You think it's making my heart sink
Unamused, tired of the antics
I'm sick of arguing over semantics
So, so slow
Can you feel me letting go?
I, I know that we turn away
When the cracks begin to show
And now we're sleeping with the television and all the lights on
One of us is leaving soon but we're both already gone
Stuck at the lost and found, watch things disappear
Looking for the missing piece but it was never here
Sleeping with the television and all the lights on
One of us is leaving soon but we're both already gone
Stuck at the lost and found, watch things disappear
Looking for the missing piece but it was never here
You see you're the best thing that's happened to me
Maybe I should fight harder for you
But I said I'd let you go when you wanted me to
Have no power, I see the way you run, you run
You run as soon as we start to have fun
Maybe I will feel better alone
Or just feel something, my heart is turning to stone
So, so slow
Can you feel me letting go?
I, I know that we turn away
When the cracks begin to show
And now we're sleeping with the television and all the lights on
One of us is leaving soon but we're both already gone
Stuck at the lost and found, watch things disappear
Looking for the missing piece but it was never here
Every hour, I find a way, a way, a way
A way to convince myself to stay
Back and forth, I can't juggle
Lying here need to stand up and struggle
Ivory tower, I know the way you think, you think
You think it's making my heart sink
Unamused, tired of the antics
I'm sick of arguing over semantics
So, so slow
Can you feel me letting go?
I, I know that we turn away
When the cracks begin to show
And now we're sleeping with the television and all the lights on
One of us is leaving soon but we're both already gone
Stuck at the lost and found, watch things disappear
Looking for the missing piece but it was never here
Sleeping with the television and all the lights on
One of us is leaving soon but we're both already gone
Stuck at the lost and found, watch things disappear
Looking for the missing piece but it was never here

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
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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
love this song -obviously about a relationship. i am thinking the spark is gone (sadly).
yes i agree....they're falling out of love.....i think the boy is afraid of commitment and the girl is tired of waiting and trying to smooth things over so they have fallen out of love
I think she isn't falling out of love, rather I think that the pain is too much for her to handle and he won't cooperate, he just runs away, he wants out and she doesn't want to make him stay, because she promised she wouldn't
I agree with xxlilyblackxx. When I first heard it, it reminded me a lot about a relationship I had.
The two are having a great time, but he wants to end it. She's confused but she goes along with it 'cause she can't make him stay.
I know when I broke up with my ex, I started sleeping with the TV on 'cause I couldn't sleep without thinking about him.
definetaly is baout a relation that isn't right osmething's not right maybe she still love him but at the same time maybe she feels like it isn't the same like we could see on : "you're the best thing that's happened to me maybe i should fight harder for you but i said i'd let go when you wanted me to"
so she says like yeah i care about you but maybe we're off alone better cause we want different things is a pretty cool song even though
this song deffinitly reminds me about the relationship i'm in now - my boyfriend going off to college, while i'm still stuck in high school, and how he needs his space to grow, and me wanting to make him happy, even though i think i should fight harder - as the song says.
