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”
Babies killing babies, people starving in Haiti
Men nutting in women then disappear for the baby
Promoters acting shady, a bunch of em no Brady
Jail full of our brothers, cause fathers was way too lazy
Real struggle been through the trenches
You haven't lived my life
Eat half the can good in the morning
Then eat the other half at night
They don't know about the fighting, they just know 100 likes
I'm just tryna find the light but this tunnel not too bright
Big money with me but don't shop at Givenchy
I do not support them stores
Remember times I ain't have a dime
Me and bestfriend sharing clothes
That's just how the shit go, I don't stop I just go
All I thought was get it either way
Never cared if I was called a hoe that was irrelevant
All got skeletons, feelings not delicate so just settle it
Brought out the ghetto now tryna be elegant
Dropped out but the streets made me intelligent
I done seen it all so what's new?
Been dogged out my whole life like Snoop
Niggas love lies but they hate the truth
I'm only at peace when I'm in the booth
I don't trust none on my Moms, niggas life scammers and cons
Niggas claim they gotta real bond
Till one get locked up with a bond
Real preach, gotta talk to em like a speech
And let a hoe tell anything I say
I'm at her room door it ain't sweet
And I hate my father in the worst way
He forgot more than my birthday
He ain't did shit since the 1st day, bird nigga let him chirp away
It's hella times we done got kicked out
Went from the box from living in a big house
Can't forget the days tryna make a way
Walked in the corner store for a discount
We was out there scrapping up quarters
Backpack on the streets like Dora
Don't look down on others that's shorter
Had mo tears than we had water
We was out there scrapping up quarters
Backpack on the streets like Dora
Don't look down on others that's shorter
Had mo tears than we had water
What you know about not washing clothes in months?
Or no tissue on the rod if your nose will run?
No pot to shit in so you hold the dump
The problems we bout to face is the goal for Trump
It's over, I ain't talking breakup man
Why every time I need something phone breakup man?
Why loved ones in the ground won't wake up man?
Cause niggas gang, gang, gang they wanna shake up hands
That ain't bout to make you look cooler
Ya'll making mo mistakes than bloopers
Motherfuckers gotta think about they future
These niggas perpetrators like Future
You know me I ain't holding shit in
Real fucked up world that we live in
That $20 for her baby milk, she done took that shit
And done went and got a fill in
Becomes repeatable, unbelievable
Now she ain't got custody I hate it when people so agreeable
Shorty cut it with the fuckery
Dark skin or light skin, you still African-American
Society got ya'll fucked up, ya'll out here comparing skin
It's a fucking shame ain't shit change
We ain't representing like we should
Cause it still remain gotta tuck yo chain
When you step a foot up in the hood (or get robbed)
Make a way if you could, make sure yo fam good
Ain't have a door to knock on when I needed help
Just had hope knocking on wood
Old folks intimidated by the generation
Cause these youngins don't follow obligations
Job application need pronounciation it was too much slang in the conversation
Gotta get professional on the spot, that one shot is all you really got
No Dalmatian fuck one house I'm tryna own 101 spots
We was out there scrapping up quarters
Backpack on the streets like Dora
Don't look down on others that's shorter
Had mo tears than we had water
We was out there scrapping up quarters
Backpack on the streets like Dora
Don't look down on others that's shorter
Had mo tears than we had water
Men nutting in women then disappear for the baby
Promoters acting shady, a bunch of em no Brady

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
