Fell this morning, fucked up this whole damn day
In fact the sun is high and shining, but I'm too drained to leave
I'll wait for night to sink, close the blinds and lock both the doors
Oh god I'm terrified, I'm terrified to be found here, shaking and withdrawn
I need a break, I keep scratching but won't cut deep enough to bleed
I'll figure it out alone, Don't know what's gotten in to me

But it'll be alright, it'll be alright,
It's okay, god damn sometimes silence is all I need
To be and feel complete
It's okay, if you never hurt you never feel a thing
And I don't say all I mean.

Fuck tomorrow and fuck all of yesterday
I'm too old to be chasing burdens by the riverside at night
A watershed waste deep with friends turning cheeks
As I'm chasing trains that never end
I cut but I don't feel, don't know what's gotten...

It's okay, god damn sometimes silence is all I need
To be and feel complete
It's okay, if you never hurt you never feel a thing
And I don't say all I mean

But I'm not scared, no I ain't angry
I just need time, just need to escape
We all try, tired and broken
But it'll be alright

    I really dig this tune because I can relate to needing time alone with my thoughts. That's what I think this song is really about. You can be down in the dumps, and sometimes you need family and friends to reach out to; other times you just need to sit alone, reflect, and feel. It also reminds me of my ex-girlfriend, who always said I didn't talk enough about my feelings. Whatever.

Mountain Song
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."
