There is a mask
That covers up one's true intentions
Once removed, things become very clear
Analyze behavior patterns to see beneath

The person that is presented to you
Vulnerable through trust
Life is a twisted maze of obstacles
Presented by people with a secret face

What's on the outside
Is not always all that is real
Live by caution, what I feel
When things are reversed

People are shown for what they are
The truth is revealed
Banish the false
Pacifying moments with an acquired disguise to obtain

The things they want
By the anguish of someone else
Materialistic motives are fulfilled
Cherish the true

Vulnerable through trust
Life is a twisted maze of obstacles
Presented by people with a secret face

    ^ hahahaha, you wish.

    Well its pretty simple. It's about how some people are not who they seem to be.

    The first Verse says: peoples true intentions are hidden until they do some act that reveals who they really are. By behavior, or some other thing like that.

    The Chorus: This one seems to be how people are obstacles, esp. the ones with a secret intention.

    Verse 2: Just because they look a certain way doesn't mean they act that way, like people that look all raggady, could be the smartest, and wealthiest person. But if things are reversed like in a mirror, It'll show who you are on the inside.

    Bridge: Talking about peoples gain from Materialistic things. and saying cherish the truth.

    well thats it, From the looks of it again, it could be about the Gov't and how they hide behind a mask, and have another intention hidden.

Mountain Song
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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
