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.
Your heart is a diamond
Every soul wants to steal it
From your fort, your fort of skin
You let nobody in
Your heart is a diamond
A bleeding treasure
Crushed together by grief and violence
Tons of pain, big pressure
Your heart is a diamond
So hard and cold
So uncut and so silent
In a breathing vault
That's my heart
Let me help it feel
That's my heart
What they all want to steal
Your heart is a diamond
Every man wants to steal it
Deep inside your fort of skin
You keep yourself concealed
Good hearts are so hard to find
I will wait and stay
A diamond ring will take its place
Around my soul one day
That's my heart
Let me help it feel
That's my heart
What they all want to steal
That's my heart
Let me work that mine
That's my heart
Let me help make it shine
I lick your heart
I taste the pain
I kiss your skin
It feels the same
Your bitter lips
There's no light at the end of the tunnel
Between your hips
That's my heart
Let me help it feel
Let me in to guard
What they all want to steal
That's my heart
Let me work that mine
That's my heart
Let me help make it shine
Every soul wants to steal it
From your fort, your fort of skin
You let nobody in
Your heart is a diamond
A bleeding treasure
Crushed together by grief and violence
Tons of pain, big pressure
Your heart is a diamond
So hard and cold
So uncut and so silent
In a breathing vault
That's my heart
Let me help it feel
That's my heart
What they all want to steal
Your heart is a diamond
Every man wants to steal it
Deep inside your fort of skin
You keep yourself concealed
Good hearts are so hard to find
I will wait and stay
A diamond ring will take its place
Around my soul one day
That's my heart
Let me help it feel
That's my heart
What they all want to steal
That's my heart
Let me work that mine
That's my heart
Let me help make it shine
I lick your heart
I taste the pain
I kiss your skin
It feels the same
Your bitter lips
There's no light at the end of the tunnel
Between your hips
That's my heart
Let me help it feel
Let me in to guard
What they all want to steal
That's my heart
Let me work that mine
That's my heart
Let me help make it shine

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Lindemann is a perverted, deviant, vulgar and yet, so fascinating. In this song, he seems to be a protector of a heart closed in a girl. I said "girl" because a woman doesn't have a broken heart and "guys" use and steal hearts, not men.
Good hearts are so hard to find I will wait and stay A diamond ring will take its place Around my soul one day
Girls are always willing to trade or feel better with a diamond ring, but if they don't want to open up and heal themselves, a man will respect himself and leave. Girls want comfort, women want men.
I lick your heart I taste the pain I kiss your skin It feels the same Your bitter lips There’s no light at the end of the tunnel Between your hips
Ever dated a girl and you felt that she was spreading her legs to feel loved? Labia do not speak and wanting to penetrate a girl who isn't well will always leave you feeling like you're in a dark tunnel. This is not making love, this isn't love. She's seeking help.
"That's my heart" is sang by feminine voice for a reason also. Girls are always willing to offer their heart to a good guy thinking that prince charming will put them back in the most beautiful dream she ever had. Sorry, but Walt Disney is the biggest mindfucker of all times.
Girls need men to evolve, but when they become women, they have the responsability to teach love in the purest way ever. She will have to deal with her own battles to be a women.
I could write about this song all day...

@Billy Pilgrim, unstuck in time I do not agree if you want to read my comment and let me know what you think
I think this is the best song of Linderman, I like so much and listened many time. for me this song talk about a girl very broken inside and with a deep depression and the man in the song(maybe Till Lindemann) have a conflict inside, he want to help her but it also want to posses her.
The song start with "Your Heart Is A Diamond Every soul wants to steal it" all the people(soul) think that this girl have something special inside, maybe she also beautiful, and the people especially the men just want to steal it, they just want the girl for her "treasure" but they don't care about her, but the girl know that and "You let nobody in". After Linderman said that her heart is "a bleeding treasure" so it must be hurt by someone or something, everybody think that the girl have a diamond inside, but they are wrong, her heart was a black piece of coal that been "Crushed together by grief and violence Tons of pain, big pressure" (with big pressure the coal became a diamond) its not beautiful and full of life, it is "So hard and cold" and "So uncut and so silent" that means that nobody reach her "diamond" and she never ask for help. the main part:
"That’s my heart Let me help it feel That’s my heart What they all want to steal"
means that the girl start trusting Linderman and start to open herself so Linderman can see why she suffer so much, he was the first man she trust "You keep yourself concealed".
After see her heart Linderman was tempted by greed he wants she all for himself "A diamond ring will take its place Around my soul one day" this part is sing with a different tone of voice,a darker voice, Linderman has a battle inside himself,but he chose to not be like other man and he really wants to help her "Let me help it feel" he want to help the girl to feel better "Let me help make it shine" but to do that he must become a better man "Let me work that mine".
The girl is crying, her skin taste like pain(tears are salty) and she have a "bitter lips". Finally Linderman understand the cause of her sadness
"There’s no light at the end of the tunnel Between your hips"
Light can be a metaphor of life, the girl lost her child by abortion or she can't have a child at all(the previous song of the album is "praise abort", for someone the abortion can be a bless, but for others is a curse). (another interpretation can be that the girl was raped and Linderman is the first man she "let enter").
the last part is a bit different:
"That’s my heart Let me help it feel Let me in to guard What they all want to steal"
the girl offer her heart to the first man that really understand her(if he still wants it), he definitely chooses to help her and he interrupt her (in the other refrain the girl offer two time her heart to Linderman) he chose to "Let me in to guard" to protect her against other people that only want to steal her heart. last line "What they all want to steal" have a shade of irony, the people that want to steal it don't realize, there nothing to steal, the diamond heart is a curse, not a bless.
this is just my interpretation of this beautiful song, if somebody have a different opinion feel free to reply.
I hope I have not done too many grammatical errors :)
