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.
You are a chainsaw through my heart
Ripping right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong
You get on my nerves, you make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away and I can't hurt you now
I guess I'll just use myself like I know how
Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears
Then you'll take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again
Goddamn, how you make me scream and shout
I don't wanna run around my room and pout
But you make me do it and I can't hardly stand it
You've got my heart and you know you've always had it
But now you're so far away
And there's no way to make you pay
So I'll go around my room and break anything I want
And in my head imagine breaking your heart
Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears
You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again
You are a chainsaw through my heart
Ripping right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong
You get on my nerves, you make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away and I can't hurt you now
I guess I'll just use myself like I know how
Ripping right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong
You get on my nerves, you make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away and I can't hurt you now
I guess I'll just use myself like I know how
Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears
Then you'll take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again
Goddamn, how you make me scream and shout
I don't wanna run around my room and pout
But you make me do it and I can't hardly stand it
You've got my heart and you know you've always had it
But now you're so far away
And there's no way to make you pay
So I'll go around my room and break anything I want
And in my head imagine breaking your heart
Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears
You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again
You are a chainsaw through my heart
Ripping right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong
You get on my nerves, you make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away and I can't hurt you now
I guess I'll just use myself like I know how

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”
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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
it annoys me that they rhymed "pout" with "shout". that's just such a predictable, unoriginal rhyme... not their best.
