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”
I know you're trying to see me
But I'm kinda busy
She telling me she like my song
(She said she like my song)
She said she got nothing on
But heels and a striped thong
Girl I think it's time to bone
(Girl I think it's time to bone)
Bring the screwed up CD
Cause this time is easy
To stop hiding behind your phone
(Stop hiding behind your phone)
That's what lil mama told me
So you already know
That a player bout to bone
(That a player bout to bone)
Got a girl in Dallas she love Pappa though
She be calling me up Koopa let's eat
Sorry but I got a radio interview to do
I gotta hook up with Milla Mack and Greg Street
Maybe we can retreat to get a bite to eat
Take a night to sneak to a tightless suite
You can invite some freaks but get it right I'm cheap
I won't pay you could leave
I'm in Alabama or Louisiana
Ke'Noe and Dobey BeBe and Jabber
When I'm not in the lab
You know I'm trying to grab a cup of couple G's chick please
What are you getting mad for
I'm in Atlanta in the morning
When I hook up with Killa Mike Lil' Jon and them
All of my calls I'm gonna forward them
To the answer machine,
Please call again I'm busy
Sorry you didn't reach me
Just the answer machine
Sorry I'm not by the phone
But you know that I'm gone
Call you when I get home
Leave a message after the tone
(Leave a message after the tone)
Sorry you didn't reach me
Just the answer machine
Sorry I'm not by the phone
(I'm not by the phone)
But you know that I'm gone
Call you when I get home
Leave a message after the tone
(Leave a message after the tone)
But I'm kinda busy
She telling me she like my song
(She said she like my song)
She said she got nothing on
But heels and a striped thong
Girl I think it's time to bone
(Girl I think it's time to bone)
Bring the screwed up CD
Cause this time is easy
To stop hiding behind your phone
(Stop hiding behind your phone)

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
