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 don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you
All the loneliness I would go through
But if you wanna leave I won't stop you
I've been gone so long,
I'm used to feeling alone
I estimated our love, my estimation was wrong
See I never knew what you were going through
But I just got back and now let's see where your at
How could you and tell that I ever be distracted by
Any other guy no matter if he ever caught my eyes
We just need time, some time to connect
What I'm tellin' you now hope you never forget
I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you
All the loneliness I would go through
But if you wanna leave I won't stop you
'Cause I don't want you if you don't want me
To be the one the only one you wanna run to
Baby boy you know I just be gone too
Realize what's important to me
So Don't leave, Don't leave
Maybe I should try to put your need first
But my priorities were messed up and I know you got hurt
See I never knew what you were going through
But I just got back and now let's see where your at
Think about it take a moment just to rewind
Everything that you believe and everything that was right
Do you really want to stand there and tell me goodbye
When I'm sayin' I Still love you
I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you
All the loneliness I would go through
But if you wanna leave I won't stop you
'Cause I don't want you if you don't want me
To be the one the only one you wanna run to
Baby boy you know I just be gone too
Realize what's important to me
So Don't leave, Don't leave
Lonely days and lonely night
That where you be without me by your side
Better think twice baby, oh, this could grow up crazy you know
I can't keep sayin' my secret cause it's out of control
I gave you everything by my heart and soul
But you keep breaking me taking me to another low
Don't do it baby don't do it don't let me go
I Don't know, I Don't know
I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you
All the loneliness I would go through
But if you wanna leave I won't stop you
'Cause I don't want you if you don't want me
To be the one the only one you wanna run to
Baby boy you know I just be gone too
Realize what's important to me
So Don't leave, Don't leave
Baby boy don't leave me
All the loneliness I would go through
But if you wanna leave I won't stop you
I've been gone so long,
I'm used to feeling alone
I estimated our love, my estimation was wrong
See I never knew what you were going through
But I just got back and now let's see where your at
How could you and tell that I ever be distracted by
Any other guy no matter if he ever caught my eyes
We just need time, some time to connect
What I'm tellin' you now hope you never forget
I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you
All the loneliness I would go through
But if you wanna leave I won't stop you
'Cause I don't want you if you don't want me
To be the one the only one you wanna run to
Baby boy you know I just be gone too
Realize what's important to me
So Don't leave, Don't leave
Maybe I should try to put your need first
But my priorities were messed up and I know you got hurt
See I never knew what you were going through
But I just got back and now let's see where your at
Think about it take a moment just to rewind
Everything that you believe and everything that was right
Do you really want to stand there and tell me goodbye
When I'm sayin' I Still love you
I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you
All the loneliness I would go through
But if you wanna leave I won't stop you
'Cause I don't want you if you don't want me
To be the one the only one you wanna run to
Baby boy you know I just be gone too
Realize what's important to me
So Don't leave, Don't leave
Lonely days and lonely night
That where you be without me by your side
Better think twice baby, oh, this could grow up crazy you know
I can't keep sayin' my secret cause it's out of control
I gave you everything by my heart and soul
But you keep breaking me taking me to another low
Don't do it baby don't do it don't let me go
I Don't know, I Don't know
I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you
All the loneliness I would go through
But if you wanna leave I won't stop you
'Cause I don't want you if you don't want me
To be the one the only one you wanna run to
Baby boy you know I just be gone too
Realize what's important to me
So Don't leave, Don't leave
Baby boy don't leave me

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
