This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Driving home now we got away
Here's to our future at least that's what they say
Pouring rain all through my head
Makes me wonder if I'd be better of dead
I'm through feeling deeply
Let's dive into the shallow end
In control now of my defeat
We've mistakes and that we're bound to repeat
I'm through the feeling deeply
Let's dive into the shallow end
I'm through the feeling deeply
Let's dive into the shallow end
You know it's time to see things clearly
Let's dive into the shallow end
I'd love to drive Ferrari
I'd love to have it all
I'd love to walk the tight rope
I'd love to see you fall
Here's to our future at least that's what they say
Pouring rain all through my head
Makes me wonder if I'd be better of dead
I'm through feeling deeply
Let's dive into the shallow end
In control now of my defeat
We've mistakes and that we're bound to repeat
I'm through the feeling deeply
Let's dive into the shallow end
I'm through the feeling deeply
Let's dive into the shallow end
You know it's time to see things clearly
Let's dive into the shallow end
I'd love to drive Ferrari
I'd love to have it all
I'd love to walk the tight rope
I'd love to see you fall

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."

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.
Speaking on lounge tunes, I heard this song in the background to a movie, surprisingly. Its called "Along Came Polly", and it has Jennifer Andestin and Ben Steller in it. I hated the movie, but i was surprised that such an awsome and unpopular song. It was at an artsy lounge party, which is just the place I'd expect to hear this song. Anyways, I thought it was cool, but I just wanted to say that I love Morcheeba because they show the soulfull side of trip-hop, if you know what I mean, whereas Portishead shows the jazzy side, Sneaker Pimps show the pop side, Tricky shows the dark side, Lamb shows the techno side, and Massive Attack, well, they're just an example of true trip hop. If you don't know what trip hop is, you probably don't know what I'm talking about at all. It's the best genre of music ever, and you should check it out!
lol i love the beginning to this song. It reminds me of those lounge tunes that I LOVE, and have quite a collection of :)
Morcheeba are timeless... that girly feminine voice is just addictive !
Anything I say here is my interpretation and relation to this song. I really like listening to this song when I've just been trying too hard, at work, at school, whatever, and I just want things to be simple, not so complicated and painful...
I will be Explaining this song chronologically as well as metaphorically. Skye is singing about driving home from some sort of social occasion , maybe a party, where people are happy and toasting to the future, "or at least, that's what they say". Skye though feels badly about the whole thing,and she doesn't enjoy whatever the occasion was about like other people. That's why she says "we got away" when mentioning driving away. Her inability to feel happy makes her feel like an outsider from these happy people, thus the verse "pouring rain, runs through my head, makes me wonder if I'd be better off dead". This is basically the whole theme of the song, and the album, just fuck whatever is going on and try to accept things and be happy. But continuing on here... I'm not sure exactly what the line "in control now,of my defeat" is, but I've thought about it. I know that whenever I feel badly about some social interaction or thing I am supposed to be happy about but I'm not, when I get to be alone I don't feel like I have to act anymore. So maybe this is about just being with yourself and your own beliefs and life rather than what is expected. I think the line about driving Ferraris and such is a way of saying that material things make her happy. Etx. I know that there are some good metaphors in this song, and it's like really speaking about depression, doom, gloom, the bullshit that people are and do, the fakeness of people. Skye wants to be happy and stupid like the people in the beginning of the song, but she is too deep to feel happy about the same things as them. Or maybe shes just manically depressed. Or maybe I am. And thats, ok.
And just thinking about it, "Diving into the Shallow End" of lets say, a pool, would be injurious, you would probablly break your neck. So when Skye musingly sings "Let's Dive into the Shallow End" she is saying lets do something that will make us happy but be very dangerous, maybe she means drugs, maybe sex. Or possibly the idea of diving into the shallow end applies to the others that she cant feel the same as, maybe she is implying that they are in the shallow end and she wants to be with them in false happiness.
WoW. That's A LOT of writing. To me the song is just about a guy who broke up with his girlfriend and feels a sense of relief that it's over. He's had it with love and the heartache it brings. He wants nothing more to do with it. He just wants to have fun. The last stanza shows how he resents her and perhaps felt as though he couldn't live up to her expectations (or whatever). He believes she relishes in his shortcomings. Man, I used the word "he" often enough. Sorry for the redundancy...
I do believe you've nailed it. When one knowingly dives into the shallow end he is craving adventure. He likes the dangerous thrill. I dove in once during a drunken college party and hit the bottom with my face. It was a very painful (although exciting:) experience.
I'm glad you also listen to morcheeba. LOL I was at a pool hall and played the song "Almost Done", by Morcheeba, on the jukebox and some people there literally started screaming "What is this shit?! Turn it off!!.." like their heads were going to explode. I was like fuck my life. I love trip hop but the masses don't seem to enjoy it (in my experience). I guess we are a rare breed in some respects.
