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”
I hide me far away from trouble
The world outside me
Grows darker by the day
And I promise
To stay here close beside Him
Surely God would want His children safe
Then reading how my eyes were open
I find that He is leading us
Out in to the world
Into the middle
Of fallen Saints and sinners
Where a little grace is needed most
Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in Him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it not of it
Wait a minute
If we say we love them
Why are we not in it
Why we run and hide
Entertain a stranger
Maybe entertain and angel
The Danger is if our worlds don’t collide
Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it not of it
We’ve cursed the darkness far too long
We need to hold the candle high
We have to go and right the wrongs
We need to touch the world with love
Wait a minute
If we say we love it why are we not it
Why are we not in it
Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in him
He came to save the world
So let us be
Wait a minute
If we say we love it why are we not in it
The world outside me
Grows darker by the day
And I promise
To stay here close beside Him
Surely God would want His children safe
Then reading how my eyes were open
I find that He is leading us
Out in to the world
Into the middle
Of fallen Saints and sinners
Where a little grace is needed most
Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in Him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it not of it
Wait a minute
If we say we love them
Why are we not in it
Why we run and hide
Entertain a stranger
Maybe entertain and angel
The Danger is if our worlds don’t collide
Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it not of it
We’ve cursed the darkness far too long
We need to hold the candle high
We have to go and right the wrongs
We need to touch the world with love
Wait a minute
If we say we love it why are we not it
Why are we not in it
Come take the light to darker parts
Share its truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love them
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Till the lost are found in him
He came to save the world
So let us be
Wait a minute
If we say we love it why are we not in it

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."
