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.
How, how can it be
That a love carved out of caring
Fashioned by fate, could suffer so hard
From the game played much too often
And making mistakes
Is a part of life's imperfections
Born of the years, it's not so wrong
To be human after all
Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
And there is something about you, baby, so right
I couldn't be without you, baby, tonight
If ever our love was concealed
No one could say that
You didn't feel a million things
In a perfect dream of life
Gone, fragile but free
We remain tender together
Not so in love, it's not so wrong
We're only human after all
These changing years
They add to your confusion
Oh, when you need to hear
The time that told the truth
There is something about you, baby, oh so right
Don't wanna be without you here tonight
And there is something about you, baby, oh so right
Don't wanna be without you here tonight
And there is something about you, baby, oh tonight
Don't wanna be without you here tonight
(Something about you, baby, oh so right)
It's what makes the world go round
It's what makes the rivers flow and
(Don't wanna be without you here tonight)
It's what makes the sparrows sing, and
It's what makes the flowers grow, and
(Something about you, baby, oh so right)
It's what gives the babies breath, and
It's what gives the sun its shine
(Don't wanna be without you here tonight)
It's what makes the Phillies play
That a love carved out of caring
Fashioned by fate, could suffer so hard
From the game played much too often
And making mistakes
Is a part of life's imperfections
Born of the years, it's not so wrong
To be human after all
Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
And there is something about you, baby, so right
I couldn't be without you, baby, tonight
If ever our love was concealed
No one could say that
You didn't feel a million things
In a perfect dream of life
Gone, fragile but free
We remain tender together
Not so in love, it's not so wrong
We're only human after all
These changing years
They add to your confusion
Oh, when you need to hear
The time that told the truth
There is something about you, baby, oh so right
Don't wanna be without you here tonight
And there is something about you, baby, oh so right
Don't wanna be without you here tonight
And there is something about you, baby, oh tonight
Don't wanna be without you here tonight
(Something about you, baby, oh so right)
It's what makes the world go round
It's what makes the rivers flow and
(Don't wanna be without you here tonight)
It's what makes the sparrows sing, and
It's what makes the flowers grow, and
(Something about you, baby, oh so right)
It's what gives the babies breath, and
It's what gives the sun its shine
(Don't wanna be without you here tonight)
It's what makes the Phillies play

Little Feat
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”
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."
