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.
It's a junkie dream makes you so uptight
Yeah it's Halloween tonight and every night
Hear you scratch your skin
Your sandpaper throat
You're a symphony, man, with one fucking note
How they beat you up week after week
And when you grow up you're going to be a freak
Want a violent girl who's not scared of anything
Help me kill my time
'Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
You went down to look at old Dallas town
Where you must be sick just to hang around
Seen it on TV how to kill your man
Then like Gacy's scene a canvas in your hand
You better call your mom she's out looking for you
In the jail and the army and the hospital too
But those people there couldn't do anything for you
Help me kill my time
'Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
'Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
Yeah it's Halloween tonight and every night
Hear you scratch your skin
Your sandpaper throat
You're a symphony, man, with one fucking note
How they beat you up week after week
And when you grow up you're going to be a freak
Want a violent girl who's not scared of anything
Help me kill my time
'Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
You went down to look at old Dallas town
Where you must be sick just to hang around
Seen it on TV how to kill your man
Then like Gacy's scene a canvas in your hand
You better call your mom she's out looking for you
In the jail and the army and the hospital too
But those people there couldn't do anything for you
Help me kill my time
'Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
'Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time

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."

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.
after reading anything and everything and seeing anything and everyone on him/with him out there i can say he did know somehow deep down inside his self-concious head that he had the talents of those he admired so much, or else he would have never went out and played shows and recorded so much music.. he was easily embarrassed. if he thought what he had to put out there was truly shit, he wouldnt have released anything.. i know he would never admit or accept his greatness but i think he had a clue. also, is it just me or is he saying 'CHARLIE beat you up week after week'?? at least thats what im hearing in the 'some (rock) song' version of this song.. he wrote this one when he was 26 and therefore probably still quite upset about the abuse he suffered as a child at the hand of that man.. theres also the references to Dallas where he grew up with his abuser and how sick it makes him feel just to be there now, and the 'call your mom' thing makes me feel like he probably ran away all the time or tried to escape this man and she probably went lookin for him at places like that, (and finally he just left to live with his dad) but those places couldnt help him anyway cause hes been too fucked up by the situation he experienced and it doesnt matter what anything or anyone tries to do to help him get over this experience cause he never will be fine... he also references Gacy 'the clown killer' in this song- Gacy, a seemingly normal nice man who happened to also be a kids clown at parties, who took to many teen boys and brutally killed them... this song is very clearly about adult abuse to children.. one of elliotts most obvious on the topic... also, when asked about his tatoo of texas he basically said something about how it wasnt cause he liked it there, in fact, just the opposite.. almost like it was there so he would never forget what he went through there and what he survived...
