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”
its been a minute since we been official, i think its beneficial
for the both of us if we over but we pretend our issues
are nonexistant, its hard to miss em, we blind though
we fallen victim, your heart is prison to my soul
but now i'm breaking free, you on some other shit
fucking with my bliss because you need someone to suffer with
i know i said this shit a million other times
how i seem to slip your mind again but still your stuck in mine
love is blind...i'm ignoring the truth
hear and accepting what the stories are according to you
when all the proof is showing otherwise
your truest colors, but i choose to go in color blind, who could know the sunny skies
were only temporary, were inside a hurricane
but we pretending every thing is fine, and nuthin changed
but whats the same? in reality... we grown apart
we both are different, no one listens to a broken heart
because they think the one who broke it is the only one
who knows the way to piece it back together, and i'm hoping some
times that its true..because its hard to picture life without you
and plus i dont wanna admit that they were right about you
or maybe more than that, its hard to say that i was wrong
pride was always what divided us, you'd never ride a long
and let me take the drivers seat
but i wouldnt either, looking deeper i can see whatever way we try to keep
pretending we're a happy couple, we're only growing bitter
throwing wood onto the fire, saw the flame but no one figured
it would burn live and learn, its a lesson taught
through the stress you caused, knew my buttons and you'd press em hard
never thought i'd say it, but i'm better off to face it
my heart was just a game, you ripped my chest apart to play it
if home is where the heart is
then you use to be the roof over my head, but now i'm homeless and i'm heartless
for the both of us if we over but we pretend our issues
are nonexistant, its hard to miss em, we blind though
we fallen victim, your heart is prison to my soul
but now i'm breaking free, you on some other shit
fucking with my bliss because you need someone to suffer with
i know i said this shit a million other times
how i seem to slip your mind again but still your stuck in mine
love is blind...i'm ignoring the truth
hear and accepting what the stories are according to you
when all the proof is showing otherwise
your truest colors, but i choose to go in color blind, who could know the sunny skies
were only temporary, were inside a hurricane
but we pretending every thing is fine, and nuthin changed
but whats the same? in reality... we grown apart
we both are different, no one listens to a broken heart
because they think the one who broke it is the only one
who knows the way to piece it back together, and i'm hoping some
times that its true..because its hard to picture life without you
and plus i dont wanna admit that they were right about you
or maybe more than that, its hard to say that i was wrong

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."
