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”
Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Straight up
Do you have rhythm underneath your feet?
Does the beat flow through that fine body?
Do you enjoy sweatin? all on me?
Did you just bust that move freestylin'
Do you do much choreographin'
You're wildin' out, boy, great timin'
I like a man who can dance
Show me how you shake it, twist it like you're breakin'
Pop it like your bones are dislocatin'
Grind me like you're horny, turn me 'round slowly
Drop me to the floor, pull me up again, honey
Show me how you shake it, twist it like you're breakin'
Pop it like your bones are dislocatin'
Grind me like you're horny, turn me 'round slowly
Drop me to the floor, pull me up again, honey
You rockin' it, swingin' it, bangin' it
Teach me how to
Step and flow, how to roll, boy, if you
Teach me how to dance
Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Teach me how to
Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Teach me how to dance
Excuse me while I check out your style
You move so good, all I could do is sigh
You're makin' me start to fantasize
Is it true if a guy can really move
They use it just as good in the bedroom?
Oops, didn't mean to come across so rude, ooh
Show me how you shake it, twist it like you're breakin'
Pop it like your bones are dislocatin'
Grind me like you're horny, turn me 'round slowly
Drop me to the floor, pull me up again, honey
Show me how you shake it, twist it like you're breakin'
Pop it like your bones are dislocatin'
Grind me like you're horny, turn me 'round slowly
Drop me to the floor, pull me up again, honey
You rockin' it, swingin' it, bangin' it

You to teach me how to dance

One on one, I'll bring a witness
I just wanna work on my fitness
So teach me

@[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."
