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.
At arm's length, you held your spouse and children
Your lake of grace so nearly killed them
Forgiveness still breathes, but may not wake for years
You promise me still that this won't end in tears
'Cause we're alone, no we're not alone, now honey
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
Back home to find the garden as you left it
Roses in full bloom, so glad you invested
So you found, this room couldn't hold you down
Stepped through these walls and listen for the sound
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
We'll make it home, 'cause we're not alone
Hold us close, it meant so much
Maybe more than you knew
Laugh a while, burn like fire
Love us again just like you used to
Sing so loud, make us proud
Please say just what you heard
Listen closer, hold your tongue
Your tired eyes speak louder than words
Speak louder than words, come on, oh...
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
We'll make it home 'cause we're not alone
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
No! Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
We'll make it home, 'cause we're not alone
Your lake of grace so nearly killed them
Forgiveness still breathes, but may not wake for years
You promise me still that this won't end in tears
'Cause we're alone, no we're not alone, now honey
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
Back home to find the garden as you left it
Roses in full bloom, so glad you invested
So you found, this room couldn't hold you down
Stepped through these walls and listen for the sound
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
We'll make it home, 'cause we're not alone
Hold us close, it meant so much
Maybe more than you knew
Laugh a while, burn like fire
Love us again just like you used to
Sing so loud, make us proud
Please say just what you heard
Listen closer, hold your tongue
Your tired eyes speak louder than words
Speak louder than words, come on, oh...
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
We'll make it home 'cause we're not alone
Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
No! Not alone, no we're not alone, now honey
We'll make it home, 'cause we're not alone

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
The song is about someone who's not alone. If it's a Christian band than it's God's love and grace that is with him/her. To an atheist, the song could be about a romantic partner. The fact that the word "honey" is used sounds rather condesending, so I'm more inclinded to believe this is not a song about God. May I suggest the REGULAR use of a condom:)
Ugh. As a Catholic I shouldn't have pushed the latex. But, when people are drunk and/or high and are perfecting their pick-up lines, I doubt they'll be interested in the rhythm method. They'd have to care enough about the other person first.
