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”
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
Love's not a mystery, it's everything
Uh, uh
She was the type to watch Oprah and The Today Show
Be on the treadmill, uh, like OK, go
Had a body, a body that you can't pay for
That means she has some D's on her, but they wasn't fake though
Had a drive for a drive for Rodeo
She spent pesos on those labels
Spin class at the gym, striptease on the pole
She was so obsessed with her body and clothes
To every party she goes, trying hard to be chose
They say it's hard for a pimp, but extra hard for these
Reading Us and People mag', tryna get the scoop
Chasing an actor for a Bentley coupe
She recruit a ball player from the Clippers, then came the pumps off
Thinking she number one, when she just a jump off
Doing all she can for a man and a baby
Driving herself crazy like the astronaut lady
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
Love's not a mystery, it's everything
Uh, he had paper since we was in, we was in high school
Pop was a doc, mom taught at my school
Lock with the rocks, in his ears he kept jewels
One of the Diddy types, D-D-Dame Dash dudes
Pushed a Maserati sport, reading the Robb Report
Wanted to be Mike, but he was never live in sports
Since golf was in, he was on the driving course
To live the rap life is what he was striving for
Spending cash at the bar to get credit
Drinking Chandon just because B.I.G. said
They say Ye is, but dude was big-headed
Rock a fur in the summer so somebody'll pet it
He had a fetish for shoes that's athletic
Pathetic on his MySpace page, half naked
It's a shame what they do for fame and to be respected
Joe, you coulda got it if you never woulda stressed it
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
Love's not a mystery, it's everything
Uh, yeah
They was one of them couples, people said they were the it
Unbreakable, like Bobby and Whit'
Or Ryan and Reese, or Kimora and Russ
Relationships can be dead but look live to us
I guess we all been through it where we try too much
Losing yourself and you're lying and stuff
Wishing for the diamond cuffs, in search of a ring
Where love is not a mystery, it's everything, sing
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild (yeah)
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down (sing)
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild
I gotta see what's up, before it gets me down
Love's not a mystery, it's everything
Gets me down
Gets me down

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
