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”
My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest see
I found my destination, what I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And I'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something I'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleepin' wishes
Is hidden where I cannot see
When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek"
"Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lats for a lifetime"
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest see
I found my destination, what I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And I'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something I'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleepin' wishes
Is hidden where I cannot see
When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek"
"Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lats for a lifetime"
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I feel that this songs means that this guy is in love with this girl. they were together but split because things didn't work. He still loves her but he knows that being with her again is wrong. So because he is in love with her he dreams of her and him having a good time, but he knows its wrong. "I feel something on my lips i should not." And when he talks to her he talks with his heart instead of his brain. "Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated Independent thought deleted." So because he talks with his heart he finds it hard to say no to her. It seems that she wants him back and she wants him to trust her but he doesn't (probably because of the break-up) "Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong. If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong... So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see If the life beyond this dream is what you seek..." He misses her and wants her back dearly, but again knows that its wrong. his dreams may make him happy while he sleeps but when he wakes up, it immediately turns into a deep depression. Therefore, no dream can heal a broken heart.
