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”
You were searching
For some evidence
That I've been cheating
Checking my phone my mail my crib
My pockets for no reason
Looking for proof proof proof
But you're only wasting time
You told me you were gon' confess if
Only I came clean and
That's when I gave you
Your own medicine
Which you believed in
But it wasn't true true true
Still you think I'm just denying
You can say
Whatever you want about me
But the truth of the matter is
I never did you wrong
Did you wrong
Did you wrong
And you gon' miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Yeah you gon' regret it
Yeah you gon' regret it
Regret it
You started playing games
So now you gotta deal with it
And oh it's such a shame
That we couldn't be real 'bout it
Karma karma karma
Yeah you gon' regret it
Yeah you gon' regret it
Regret it
It's been more
Than a couple of months
And we ain't even speaking
You don't return my calls
Thinking that you
Will get even
Why you act a fool fool fool
There is something that ain't right
Maybe you're the one that's been
Incognito and creeping
If it's so then let me know cause you
Confuse my feelings
I'm about to lose it lose it lose it
Why you tryin' to switch it 'round
You can say
Whatever you want about me
But the truth of the matter is
I never did you wrong
Did you wrong
Did you wrong
And you gon' miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Yeah you gon' regret it
Yeah you gon' regret it
Regret it
You started playing games
So now you gotta deal with it
And oh it's such a shame
That we couldn't be real 'bout it
Karma karma karma
Yeah you gon' regret it
Yeah you gon' regret it
Regret it
I can't believe you
Give me this nonsense
How you gonna tell me I let you down
If you got a little bit heart in you
Can you please explain
Why you flip the coin around
I know I've done a lot of bad
But I never been in bed
With another lady trust me it's true
And the proof that you claim that you got
Is nothing but a
Way for you to come up
With an excuse
To smooth and slowly get away
Too afraid to tell it
Straight to my face
Six years I stayed with you
Laid with you
Is this how you gonna play
It's OK it's alright
Go ahead and scram
By the night that you wake up
You gon' regret it
That you lost a good man
For sure
You started playing games
So now you gotta deal with it
And oh it's such a shame
That we couldn't be real 'bout it
Karma karma karma
Yeah you gon' regret it
Yeah you gon' regret it

Mountain Song

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
