Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat
Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
Oh
Count
Count your fucking blessings
Come on
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Counting every lie
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing
I'm asking you for just one thing
Eradicate this disease
Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our doomsday
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth and bring doomsday
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch this rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth, bring our doomsday
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat
Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
Oh
Count
Count your fucking blessings
Come on
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Counting every lie
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing
I'm asking you for just one thing
Eradicate this disease
Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our doomsday
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth and bring doomsday
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch this rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth, bring our doomsday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think this song is him talking about a slut that he knows and how she used to be a decent person who didn't sleep around.
''She starts her new diet of liquor and dick'' ''The sun goes down, and so does she''
sexual references. the sun goes down everyday, as does she with guys.
And he is trying to warn her away from sleeping around and asking her to stop.
''I'm asking you for just one thing, Eradicate this disease,''
''death will stand where life once stood,''
How she used to be a decent person but now is nobody.
Best song on the album!
honestly this song is not about 1 person .......it is about the worlds youth as a whole....when he says "she" it would be the same as calling your car a "she"<br /> <br /> "She starts her new diet of liquor and dick.<br /> Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick."<br /> the meaning to this is simple our youth just likes to get f***** up and have sex and while doing this it deff sounds like the perfect life "hollywood" or the image it potrays, but its saying the youth is the dark side of hollywood, or leading a sort of fake life where it looks great on the outside but honestly it is all cracked and torn "but laced in sick"<br /> <br /> "the sun goes down, and so does she"<br /> meaning day in day out its the same thing. when your young and dumb you are having a great time doing these things you know is wrong but it is the only thing on your mind its what you wanna do or be doing every second of every day.<br /> <br /> "Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat.<br /> Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat."<br /> this part of the song is saying the word or feeling every one now know of as "love" is nothing like it used to be. not it is a word used when you feel a physical attraction to a person instead of a life long bond and "left with a cut of the throat" saying once again just how f-ed up that is and how its all cracked and torn as well.<br /> "Drinks all round on her before she strolls to the moat" just meaning people feel like the need to be super messed up to do something they think people will look down apon so they can just later say "oh man i was so drunk" or "no way dude i would nvr have done that sober" "moat" just a place of rest or some sort of stop along the way<br /> <br /> "Close your eyes, pray for plagues.<br /> Oh Lord cleanse this Earth, and bring upon our dooms day."<br /> this is saying plz make our youth not so ignotent and shallow, someone needs to fix this to make kidz realize this is not a healthy way to live your life..."and bring upon our dooms day" all this is saying is that to the people who just party all the time and get all messed up it is a way of life and if this were to stop mabey thats the only way they know how to live and that would be the end of their life "dooms day"<br /> <br /> "So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now.<br /> Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood."<br /> meaning if this is how we will live our lives our children will just fallow along with out a care. "watch the river flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood" saying it is inevitable, if life is like this there will be no more life no success equals nothing<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
another meaning to this song is the rapture based off the lines of "so clap your hands to the first unborn dying now so watch the rivers flow(or turn) to blood, death will stand where life once stood."
