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”
Did you think that I,
Did you think that I,
Would fall down flat on my face?
Did your smug remarks
Ever reach the heart?
Pretentious, poised in place
"OMG, Look at me,
All I wanna be is just like him."
Filthy mean, Filthy scene,
Slowly spiraling down into the drain.
2 sleepless weeks is all that it takes to find,
Foundations worth the time of our life.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Because chaotic minds can think alike.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Cause everyone knows the stars come out at night.
Oh dear, have we struck a nerve here?
Altered your perception,
Seeds of doubt have manifested into our investment.
Lay away while you pray that we'll go away
We will find you.
Like a ghost, here's a toast to eternity,
We are here to stay.
2 sleepless weeks is all that it takes to find,
Foundations worth the time of our life.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Because chaotic minds can think alike.
This is our night, this is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Cause everyone knows the stars, the stars come out at night.
(They come out at night) [x3]
5 soldiers in line with our blindfolds in hand,
Our spirit intact we abide by the land.
5 captains on deck with a look in their eyes,
Their ship may be broken but look at them fly.
Fixation with passion will push you to move,
The obstacle mentioned is referring to you.
You should know we're never ever ever gonna quit.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Because chaotic minds can think alike.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Cause everyone knows the stars come out at night.
Did you think that I,
Would fall down flat on my face?
Did your smug remarks
Ever reach the heart?
Pretentious, poised in place
"OMG, Look at me,
All I wanna be is just like him."
Filthy mean, Filthy scene,
Slowly spiraling down into the drain.
2 sleepless weeks is all that it takes to find,
Foundations worth the time of our life.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Because chaotic minds can think alike.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Cause everyone knows the stars come out at night.
Oh dear, have we struck a nerve here?
Altered your perception,
Seeds of doubt have manifested into our investment.
Lay away while you pray that we'll go away
We will find you.
Like a ghost, here's a toast to eternity,
We are here to stay.
2 sleepless weeks is all that it takes to find,
Foundations worth the time of our life.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Because chaotic minds can think alike.
This is our night, this is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Cause everyone knows the stars, the stars come out at night.
(They come out at night) [x3]
5 soldiers in line with our blindfolds in hand,
Our spirit intact we abide by the land.

This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Because chaotic minds can think alike.
This is our night, This is our time
This is our chance of feeling alive
Cause everyone knows the stars come out at night.

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

cody said in this interview youtube.com/watch that when he was reviewed by the website absolutepunk.net all they did was compare him to alex gaskarth saying that he was trying to be him and stuff. so this song is a reply to them. my favorite line is "omg look at me all i want to be is just like him (alex)"
