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.
I never said that you had to offer the world to me
I didn't think that you could, no
I can't recall asking you to promise these things to me
I didn't think that you should, no
No one could ever persuade me from comin? around too long
Even though it sounds, sounds so good
But good is only as good as {How much you give me, boy}
But there is not too much that I can see, what happened
What happened to the way (We used to be)
You used to love me, baby (Yeah)
I wish down deep to find a way (To bring it back to me)
No chance for love (When there's no guarantee)
My mother said we need to wait
I wish that we could find a way (To bring it back to me)
You promised me Saturn, Venus and Mars
But all I got was bulls*** and a fallen star (Fallen star)
Out of this world (Yeah...), galaxy so far (So far)
Constellation tells me it?s not from the heart
Something tells me it?s not really (Meant to be you and me)
Boy, you kill me with those silly (Games you play)
So I prepare myself for the worse, so when it comes
I will surely understand, but please tell me, what happened
What happened to the way (We used to be)
You used to love me, baby (Hey...)
I wish down deep to find a way (To bring it back to me)
No chance for love (When there's no guarantee)
My mother said we need to wait
I wish that we could find a way (You promised me)
You promised me Saturn, Venus and Mars
But all I got was bulls*** and a fallen star (Out of this world)
Out of this world, galaxy so far (Oh...)
Constellation tells me it's not from the heart (You promised me)
You promised me Saturn, Venus and Mars
But all I got was bulls*** and a fallen star (Out of this world)
Out of this world (Galaxy), galaxy (So far) so far (So far)
Constellation tells me it?s not from the heart (You promised me, you promised me)
Something tells me it?s not really
Boy, you kill me with those silly
Something tells me it?s not really
Boy, you kill me with those silly
Whoa...ho...
Whoa
You promised me, darling
You, you
Yeah...
I didn't think that you could, no
I can't recall asking you to promise these things to me

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."
