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”
You're the queen of your own little
World, you really made a splash
Got the offers rollin' in but you're
Nothing more than high paid trash
Everybody wants to know what goes
On in your head
Pity if they found out that you're lonely
In your bed
Maybe it all happened to you just a
Little too fast
Won't let anybody touch you
So you do it for yourself
Plain to see there's a woman
Cryin' out for help
You're a superstar, but
You don't know who you are
And your money won't
Get you very far
You're a mystery,
Nothing can set you free
Your demons haunt you endlessly
You face the end of your youth in a tired
Little masquerade
You talk to people with a tongue like a
Newly sharpened razor blade
Yours is not a life that lets you take a
Look inside
Morals and convictions meet a fate of
Genocide
But in the end you'll be sleeping in the
Bed you made
All you want's a daddy
The one you never had
A need for understanding
Aching in your head
You're a superstar, but you don't know
Who you are
And your money won't get you very far
You're a mystery, it seems so clear to me
There's something that you'd rather be
Take a look around you now
Before it's much too late
Make the choice to change
Or be a victim of your fate
All your life you've been
Running from the girl inside
You're a superstar, but you don't know
Who you are
And your fame won't get you very far
You're a mystery, oh but it's plain to see
There's someone that you'd rather be
World, you really made a splash
Got the offers rollin' in but you're
Nothing more than high paid trash
Everybody wants to know what goes
On in your head
Pity if they found out that you're lonely
In your bed
Maybe it all happened to you just a
Little too fast
Won't let anybody touch you
So you do it for yourself
Plain to see there's a woman
Cryin' out for help
You're a superstar, but
You don't know who you are
And your money won't
Get you very far
You're a mystery,
Nothing can set you free
Your demons haunt you endlessly
You face the end of your youth in a tired
Little masquerade
You talk to people with a tongue like a
Newly sharpened razor blade
Yours is not a life that lets you take a
Look inside
Morals and convictions meet a fate of
Genocide
But in the end you'll be sleeping in the
Bed you made
All you want's a daddy
The one you never had
A need for understanding
Aching in your head
You're a superstar, but you don't know
Who you are
And your money won't get you very far
You're a mystery, it seems so clear to me
There's something that you'd rather be
Take a look around you now
Before it's much too late
Make the choice to change
Or be a victim of your fate
All your life you've been
Running from the girl inside
You're a superstar, but you don't know
Who you are
And your fame won't get you very far
You're a mystery, oh but it's plain to see
There's someone that you'd rather be

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."
