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.
Oh somewhere up in your loft
MTV with the sound off
We lay down at the edge of town oh oh
On and on, I'm drifting
Our eyes opened and twisted
We lay down at the edge of town oh oh
But have you noticed
Summer comes and disappears,
From a mirror, like a tear, we appear
The last out of something
Yeah I wonder
Where are you now, where are you now?
Because it's going and it's going and it's going
And it's going and it's going and it's going and it's
Gone going, going,
And then it's lost
Oh somewhere up in your loft
MTV with the sound off
We lay down at the edge of town oh oh
We ran out through the corn and your Smith T-shirt got torn
We lay down at the edge of town oh oh
But have you noticed
Summer comes and disappears,
From a mirror, like a tear? we appear
The last out of something
Yeah I wonder
Where are you now, where are you now?
Because it's going and it's going and it's going
And it's going and it's going and it's going and it's
Gone going, going,
And then it's lost
Summer comes and then it disappears
The last out of something
Summer comes and disappears,
From a mirror, like a tear, we appear
The last out of something
Yeah I wonder
Where are you now, where are you now?
Because it's going and it's going and it's going
And it's going and it's going and it's going and it's
Gone and then it's lost
MTV with the sound off
We lay down at the edge of town oh oh
On and on, I'm drifting
Our eyes opened and twisted
We lay down at the edge of town oh oh
But have you noticed
Summer comes and disappears,
From a mirror, like a tear, we appear
The last out of something
Yeah I wonder
Where are you now, where are you now?
Because it's going and it's going and it's going
And it's going and it's going and it's going and it's
Gone going, going,
And then it's lost
Oh somewhere up in your loft
MTV with the sound off
We lay down at the edge of town oh oh
We ran out through the corn and your Smith T-shirt got torn
We lay down at the edge of town oh oh
But have you noticed
Summer comes and disappears,
From a mirror, like a tear? we appear
The last out of something
Yeah I wonder
Where are you now, where are you now?
Because it's going and it's going and it's going
And it's going and it's going and it's going and it's
Gone going, going,
And then it's lost
Summer comes and then it disappears
The last out of something
Summer comes and disappears,
From a mirror, like a tear, we appear
The last out of something
Yeah I wonder
Where are you now, where are you now?
Because it's going and it's going and it's going
And it's going and it's going and it's going and it's
Gone and then it's lost

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
