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.

play this favorite song for you girl
learn to sing it alone in your one room home
the unbalanced low i hold here inside my throat for you
i will see you later on
unless you want me in your door
and if the simple answer is for me to just stay over
drawing swords along your legs neither pad or pencil
and don't wanna walk you to your trip
hold you for just a little
hold you for just a little
hold you for just a little while
until its time for you to drive
back to that southern state your home
a whisper fish there dying on a desert town
need and fold the air between our minds
grasp and grope the fingers for stretching out
oh sure i've got friends but i won't be going down on them
i will see you one more time
unless you want me in your door
i could kneel here on the ground and face in souths direction
but i would be here way too long belief is not cooperative
why can't you whisk yourself away
to be in philadelphia
to be in philadelphia
to be in philadelphia
The winter helps lying on my window side
its been far to long since i haven't prayed myself goodnight
waking down
both equally testified
one last time to look on that screen where meter hides
i will see you one last time
unless you want me in your door
if the air smells fucking great
i think we solved our problems
and if the fear won't close my eyes
then we'll all just disappear
and if we come back here again
will it have grown that older
will it have grown that older
will it have grown that older
until we fail to recognize
i'll trip over my eyes
play this favorite song for you girl

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."
