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."
No Surprises
Radiohead

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
it's possible that "product of my surroundings" means he's talking about himself in the first line, that he has no more love trust respect or loyalty for others because of what he sees around him every day or it could mean that there isn't anymore love, trust, respect or loyalty and soon he's going to become a product of that himself
what exactly does he mean by saying "product of my surroundings mean"
i love this intro.
I would have to disagree with boyconstrictor on this. I think that by saying product of my surroundings he is talking about the "young, rich and out of control." By saying "there is no more love, trust, respect or loyalty" he is talking about how so many young kids today go around living their lives in a manner that is harmful to themselves and people around them because they dont live their lives with respect or love for the things around them or themselves.
He follows up with the line "product of my surroundings" because he doesnt blame the out of control kids of today for being the ones to live without respect and love, he blames society, family life and the media bullshit that all those kids are surrounded by for corrupting them into a loveless, disrespectful lifestyle.
thats my interpretation anyway =P
It goes along well with the lyrics of "You're More Like Friend Without the R" where he says he's "lost faith in everyone" and is burning his bridges. He doesn't care anymore. He's a product of his surroundings, which have no love, trust, respect or loyalty.
a product usually means what's been created (in chemistry) so I THINK it could mean... he is the way he is because of his surroundings i.e. influences from friends, society, family, neighbourhood etc.
