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”
What’s the problem with the human race?
No matter where I turn I can’t escape the double face
Don’t want to listen to the radio
Or stick around just to hear "I told you so"
How could we make it without you?
I should've known better to doubt you
I thought I heard the end of it
And now I know how far you'd go
To be the next freak show
American Psycho
Cover of the magazines, patron saint to troubled teens
Wish I’d never heard your name
Tomorrow could be just another day
A misdemeanor or a felony, that's ok
Don't wanna wait for a second chance
It’s your turn for the spotlight, the big dance
How could we make it without you?
I should've known better to doubt you
I thought I heard the end of it
And now I know how far you'd go
To be the next freak show
American Psycho
Cover of the magazines, patron saint to troubled teens
Wish I’d never heard your name
And they all wanna know
But I already know
What am I supposed to do
When you know that it’s all true
That you stole, that you lied, that you knew
Primadonna, self absorbed
Wide awake and never bored
Party, binge and purge, and see
Results of plastic surgery
Spotted at the hottest shows
Interview on Charlie Rose
They all want a piece of you
And now I know how far you;d go
To be the next freak show
American Psycho
Cover of the magazines, patron saint to troubled teens
Wish I never heard your name
And they all wanna know
How far you had to go
And I already know
How far you had to go!
No matter where I turn I can’t escape the double face
Don’t want to listen to the radio
Or stick around just to hear "I told you so"
How could we make it without you?
I should've known better to doubt you
I thought I heard the end of it
And now I know how far you'd go
To be the next freak show
American Psycho

How could we make it without you?
I should've known better to doubt you

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."
