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.
I am the master of the game
that made a fool of you
I'm watching from the highest tower
You got the aura to enchant them - and a symphony
And I have got the power
You better taste - they call it life: my special area
I'm breeding winners over there (yeah)
Ain't it a sin to turn your back
On what you re given
It's time to take your share
God left me for dead
I've been turning my head
Away from the living
the time has come
To gamble for gain
To tear down the gate
And see what's inside
We rock the ball!
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down (oooh)
We rock the ball!
I'm facing my pain
With a rage (?) and a symphony
Driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd: another angel down
We'll see a black hole will be left up in the starry sky
We gotta mourn another angel
If I am just a light descending to caducity
It's still so far away
There's no tomorrow
I don't remember yesterday
I'm just living for tonight
And all the love I'm not gonna waste
No more: I won't, spill what's divine!
They left you for dead
Turning your head
Away form the living
From flesh and blood
You've got the draw and desire to claw
For fortune and fame
We rock the ball!
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down
We rock the ball!
I'm facing my pain
With a rage (?) and a symphony
Driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd: another angel down
[Guitar Solo]
We rock the ball!
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down
We rock the ball!
I'm facing my pain
With a rage (?) and a symphony
Driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd: another angel down
that made a fool of you
I'm watching from the highest tower
You got the aura to enchant them - and a symphony
And I have got the power
You better taste - they call it life: my special area
I'm breeding winners over there (yeah)
Ain't it a sin to turn your back
On what you re given
It's time to take your share
God left me for dead
I've been turning my head
Away from the living

To gamble for gain
To tear down the gate

Arose from devotion

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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
I think its about hope, and good things coming from dropping religion.
I am the master of the game that made a fool of you I'm watching from the highest tower You got the aura to enchant them - and a symphony And I have got the power

Taste life, live it. Don't be bound by silly made-up laws. Also it means from the third line, that if God had made something for you, why not take it?
God left me for dead I've been turning my head Away from the living the time has come To gamble for gain To tear down the gate And see what's inside
He's been paying more attention to religion than real things.
We rock the ball! Been smashed to the ground Arose from devotion To take a look and see what is inside Sight of the crown: Another angel down (oooh)
"Been smashed to the ground" is essentially "Coming down-to-Earth. Hard." He then, since coming down to Earth, arose from religion (gave it up, is better without it) and looked at what it really was. (Lies that keep you from your full potential enjoyment of life).
There's no tomorrow I don't remember yesterday I'm just living for tonight And all the love I'm not gonna waste No more: I won't, spill what's divine!
Tomorrow and Yesterday represent "Other lives" ex. " I was a pirate in my past life, and I hope I can be a (something) in my next one!"
They left you for dead Turning your head Away form the living From flesh and blood You've got the draw and desire to claw For fortune and fame
This sums up most of the points made in the song. Religion stopping you from seeing reality, and how it stops you from, your full potential.
"Another Angel Down" means that another person has dropped religion. (Angel representing a religious person).
