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.
Damaged pride and vulnerable
All my fears are open now
Never thought this would hit me so hard
Staring at my hollow phone
Not sure if you're coming home
Bed still smells like I'm not all alone again
I know we fucked it up this time
We got so high
Couldn't see the bottom
I just crashed my car
And it got me thinking of you
So I just thought I'd call
To tell you, to tell you I, to tell you I still love you
My mental image impaired
Undid the braids in my hair
I rain destruction in the fight of my inner feels
Remove the tricks of the trade
You're just alone on the stage
There's no witness fly your soul through the windshield
Damaged pride and vulnerable
All my fears are open now
Never thought I could hurt you so hard
Staring at my hollow phone
Wondering if you've found your home
Feel like I deserve to die alone again
We really fucked it up this time
Got so low
Only for a second
I just crashed my car
And it got me thinking of you
So I just thought I'd call
To tell you, to tell you I, to tell you I still love you
Take a sip from the drain
The flavor tastes like nothing
Or nothing tastes the same cause nothing is never there
I know what I'm talking 'bout
I believe the words in my mouth
'Cause I can say that it was all just a metaphor
In my heart and in my own mind in my soul
I know that they ain't never gonna break me
In my heart and in my own mind in my soul
I know that they ain't never gonna break me
(You know that I won't stop
I'm coming back on top
Don't call that it's a flop
I got the refs on lock)
All my fears are open now
Never thought this would hit me so hard
Staring at my hollow phone
Not sure if you're coming home
Bed still smells like I'm not all alone again
I know we fucked it up this time
We got so high
Couldn't see the bottom
I just crashed my car
And it got me thinking of you
So I just thought I'd call
To tell you, to tell you I, to tell you I still love you
My mental image impaired
Undid the braids in my hair
I rain destruction in the fight of my inner feels
Remove the tricks of the trade
You're just alone on the stage
There's no witness fly your soul through the windshield
Damaged pride and vulnerable
All my fears are open now
Never thought I could hurt you so hard
Staring at my hollow phone
Wondering if you've found your home
Feel like I deserve to die alone again
We really fucked it up this time
Got so low
Only for a second
I just crashed my car
And it got me thinking of you
So I just thought I'd call
To tell you, to tell you I, to tell you I still love you
Take a sip from the drain
The flavor tastes like nothing
Or nothing tastes the same cause nothing is never there
I know what I'm talking 'bout
I believe the words in my mouth
'Cause I can say that it was all just a metaphor
In my heart and in my own mind in my soul
I know that they ain't never gonna break me
In my heart and in my own mind in my soul
I know that they ain't never gonna break me
(You know that I won't stop
I'm coming back on top
Don't call that it's a flop
I got the refs on lock)

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."
