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”
Where do I begin?
I'm ready now.
Glad I was fit in.
Running round my head
What did I do wrong?
Tell me it's my fault
You didn't lead me on, well that's good to know
Get your lips off of me, I'm not okay with this.
So long now I was betrayed with a kiss
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done.
You won this time.
Set my pride to the side
Tear me open look inside
Just to see how many times you've really made these eyes cry.
Oh oh
I let you in and gave you pieces
I'm quick to stumble pain increases.
Oh there's a hole
That lingers deep inside my body,
I fall too fast no one can stop me, no.
So what I wanna love?
Why's it hurt so bad?
I'd say it's like a drug, but I don't feel the high
My heart's about to break for the final time.
All I do is ache, and I can't find some peace of mind.
Break it off, god he knows I'm trying
Shake it off, no more crying.
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.
You won't win this time.
Set my pride to the side
Tear me open look inside
Just to see how many times you've really made these eyes cry.
Oh oh
I let you in and gave you pieces.
I'm quick to stumble, pain increases.
Oh there's a hole
That lingers deep inside my body,
I fall too fast no one can stop me, now.
Why do we always have to go?
I'm making a scene let's start the show
Every part of me that's been torn down
I'm sick of being hush, hush I'm going to make a sound.
A sound
Hey
Yeah
Oh oh
I let you in and gave you pieces.
I'm quick to stumble pain increases.
Oh there's a hole
That lingers deep inside my body,
I fall too fast no one can stop me, no.
I'm ready now.
Glad I was fit in.
Running round my head
What did I do wrong?
Tell me it's my fault
You didn't lead me on, well that's good to know
Get your lips off of me, I'm not okay with this.
So long now I was betrayed with a kiss
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done.
You won this time.
Set my pride to the side
Tear me open look inside
Just to see how many times you've really made these eyes cry.
Oh oh
I let you in and gave you pieces
I'm quick to stumble pain increases.
Oh there's a hole
That lingers deep inside my body,
I fall too fast no one can stop me, no.
So what I wanna love?
Why's it hurt so bad?
I'd say it's like a drug, but I don't feel the high
My heart's about to break for the final time.
All I do is ache, and I can't find some peace of mind.
Break it off, god he knows I'm trying
Shake it off, no more crying.
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.
You won't win this time.
Set my pride to the side
Tear me open look inside
Just to see how many times you've really made these eyes cry.
Oh oh

Every part of me that's been torn down
I'm sick of being hush, hush I'm going to make a sound.
A sound
Hey
Yeah
Oh oh
I let you in and gave you pieces.
I'm quick to stumble pain increases.
Oh there's a hole
That lingers deep inside my body,
I fall too fast no one can stop me, no.

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."

Well, these aren't the right lyrics for this song, but I'll go ahead and explain how I interpreted the song...
"Where do I begin? I'm ready now. I've let out what's been in. Running round my head What did I do wrong? Tell me it's my fault You didn't lead me on, well that's good to know"
She doesn't know where to start moving on, but she decides that she's ready now. She's told him everything that she has been holding in and what she's been thinking in her mind. She doesn't know what she did wrong to make the relationship end but he is telling her it's her fault. He told her that he didn't lead her on but she thinks he did. (The first line could also mean where does she begin in telling him what she is thinking)
"Get your lips off of me, I'm not okay with this. So long now I was betrayed with a kiss I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. You won this time."
She wants him to get away from him because he betrayed her. She's done with the relationship and she is moving on.
"Set my pride to the side Tear me open look inside Just to see how many times you've really made these eyes cry. Oh... Oh... I let you in and gave you pieces I'm quick to stumble pain increases. Oh there's a hole That lingers deep inside my body, I fall too fast no one can stop me, no."
He lead her on just to see how he could hurt her. She gave him part of her, told him secrets and basically trusted him only to be let down or led on. She falls for guys easily and it only hurts her more but she cannot help it. He's left her and now there's a hole where he should be but he isn't.
"So what I wanna love? Why's it hurt so bad? I'd say it's like a drug, but I don't feel the high My heart is about to break for the final time. All I do is ache, and I can't find some piece of mind. Break it off, god he know I'm trying Shake it off, no more crying. I'm done, I'm done, I'm done. You won't win this time."
Rachel wants to know why love hurts so bad and why she wants love in the first place. She says love and getting his love is like a drug, she needs it to go on but she doesn't feel happy like what a drug would do to you. Her heart is about to break again and she's tried of it. All she does is feel pain and suffering. She knows she has to stop showing how she's feeling towards him because he will know she is trying to get him back (or to move on?) She tells herself to stop crying because she doesn't want him to see it. She is done with him and she isn't going to let him bring her down or use her this time.
"Why do we always have to go? I'm making a scene let's start the show Every part of me that's been torn down I'm sick of being hush hush I'm going to make a sound. A Sound Hey... Yeah"
She wonders why all the guys she loves go. She wants to go over to where he is and let out all of her feelings to him instead of keeping them bottled inside. She's tired of keeping her feelings locked inside her head and she wants to share them with him now.
That was just how I interpreted the lyrics...the band's meaning could've been different or it could be different to someone else. This is a wonderful song!
