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.
Fell in love with a girl
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
She turns and said "Are you alright?"
I said I must be fine 'cause my hearts still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Yeah Bobby said its fine, he don't consider it cheating now
Red hair with a curl
Mellow roll for the flavor and the eyes for peeping
Can't keep away from the girl
These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
Can't think of anything to do yeah my left brain knows that our love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new
Yeah, I said it once before but it bears repeating, now
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
Can't think of anything to do
Yeah my left brain knows that our love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new, well
I said it once before but it bears repeating now
Fell in love with a girl
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
She turns and said "Are you alright?"
I said I must be fine because my heart's still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Yeah Bobby said its fine, he don't consider it cheating, now
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
Can't think of anything to do yeah
My left brain knows that our love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new
Well I've said it once before but it bears repeating, now
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
She turns and said "Are you alright?"
I said I must be fine 'cause my hearts still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Yeah Bobby said its fine, he don't consider it cheating now
Red hair with a curl
Mellow roll for the flavor and the eyes for peeping
Can't keep away from the girl
These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
Can't think of anything to do yeah my left brain knows that our love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new

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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song is about a teenage girl who likes to mess with guys and does not consider the consequences of her actions, leaving broken hearts behind as she tramples on through life.
"Fell in love with a girl I fell in love once and almost completely"
Obviously, her fell in love with her. The word "once" implies that he's left behind scarred and has had it with relationships. "Almost completely" means that he was willing to die for her, while on the other hand she probably didn't even remember his birth date.
"She's in love with the world"
She messes around with many different guys, love is really just a platitude here. The more you share your love with the world, the less every individual gets. It waters down to nothing but shallowness when shared with the whole world / countless guys. Or do you really think a girl can have meaningful relationships with 8 different guys at the same time?
"But sometimes these feelings Can be so misleading"
This means that guys, in this case him, falsely interpret her shallow attention and affection as love, and by that I mean exclusive love, just him and her. But that is not the case, since she has many guys. He could have known better, but was maybe always hoping for her to realize that him and her belong together, which never happened.
"She turns and said "are you alright?" I said "I must be fine cause my heart's still beating"
She is obviously aware of the fact that she is causing him emotional damage, but probably doesn't really care about it. He is aware of the harm she is causing him but because he does not want to lose her he sticks around anyway.
"Come and kiss me by the riverside, yeah Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now"
To make up for the pain she caused she offers him to make out. But then at the same time she turns around bringing up Bobby, probably her current 'main' boyfriend, implying that this kissing won't really lead anywhere. I mean is this what you want to hear when you are about to kiss the girl you love? That it is fine for her boyfriend? Probably not.
The fact that she offers kissing rather than more serious activities makes me believe they are teens.
The chorus just goes over describing what he loves about her outward appearance and that he knows she is poison for him, but at the same time he cannot make a clean cut and shove her away for good.
His left and right sides of the brain, the two hemispheres, are battling. Often (yet scientifically doubted) associated with the left side being more rational and analytical, the right side being emotional.
"she just looking for something new"
Means that she really doesn't care about the individual and just does whatever she feels like at the moment, leaving broken hearts behind everywhere.
I like the song, yet is the only song I know from this band. Obviously I went trough all this with a girl and I will just warn all those guys out there, BE AWARE because the sweet little girl you just adore might just like to keep you around to play with for years for whenever she is bored or her 'boyfriend' is on vacation or something.
Do not buy into that whole best friends bs and find a real girlfriend that loves you unconditionally. Do not waste several years on a person like that.
Especially young girl like to test out what they can do with the "female power" and only later in life they learn what harm it causes.
This song cannot have another meaning. :-)
i love the music video! it's neato!
Very creative music video and a very cool song.
I've been hearing this song on the radio a lot lately, but I saw the video for the first time this morning. Flipping through, all you see is girls, money, cars, money, jewelry..blah blah...it's very refreshing to see something original on tv.
this song makes me think about that one girl who you know will say no and then when she does your so surprised (Janelle Plante)

Alternate Title: I fell in love with a girl who fell in love with a girl
how do you figure? i kind of think it has a tiny bit of a lesbian theme, but why do YOU think that?
he says "bobby says its fine he don't consider it cheating," bobby being her boyfriend.
no i think its not really like a lesbian issue more like a girl who wants to be a star all the time and how its a bad idea to fall for a social climbing chick thats just my opinion the important thing here is thank god good rocka dn roll and blues are back
if you listen to the song as if a girl is singing it definitely sounds has a lesbian theme. like two young girls being attracted to each other, one is enthusiastic and the other thinks she only wants to experiment "the love is fleeting", but is attracted to her none the less hence the confusion... "bobby said its fine he dont consider it cheating", if it was about a boy and a girl then why would the boyfriend not consider it cheating?
@stevycurley892 - they seem to be quite free people, from the lyrics. i could imagine that if the singer was a guy it'd still make sense; it's only a kiss, so it doesn't really matter.
I love this song - it's so great to just jump around to! On the lesbian theme, I wouldn't know, but there's a Blur somg called "Girls and Boys" which has the lyrics "girls who do boys like they're girls who do girls like they're boys"! Make what you will...
This song rocks, it rocks hard.
A Kick Ass song !! its freakin awesome they rock! Hey every one should the hives, the strokes,Black Rebel Motorcycle Club the all have that Manhattan East village sound the sound like these guys!
