Under the branches of feeling alright
I feel asleep just to dream about
I know too many reasons to fight
So glad that I have taken my time

My mind is made of simple thoughts
I'm going up to start this day
Soon you see me now

Under the falling sky feeling alright
Careless, not hopeless, you can't bring me down
But I know too many reasons to fight
So glad that I have you on my side, I've taken my time

Only this life here is happening
I can see these two things, I'm not worried
First rule of thumb you gave: promise not to fade away
So where do you go to sleep now?

My mind is made of simple thoughts
I'm going up to start this day
Soon you see me now

    My Opinion

    I think these lyrics are the best ones I've found. I've listened to several versions of the song and agonised over what some of them could be - and I have to admit that these fit the best. There are some awful ones that seem to be on every other site :(

    Whoever wrote these ones out - thank you!

    Now... What does it mean...?

    My Interpretation

    After reading the lyrics, I got two ideas:

    a) She and her partner have been fighting for a long time, but after so may things she has made up her mind, she is staying, she is strong enough to handle the worst of him, she is glad for the good things, she is ready for anything else.

    b) An internal speech, she is fighting herself, she is getting ready to keep going but a part of her still has doubts, maybe this one is about pulling yourself together?

Mountain Song
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."
