Take all your pills
And divide them by color and size
And take all your problems
Advise them everything's fine
And since you ran away
You've been beating your habits to death
And if you were to stay
Would you feel this white happiness?
Nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing
High
Take all your pills
And divide them by number and might
And take all your problems
Chastise them, everything's nice
Since you ran away
You've been beating them ladders instead
And if you were to stay would you feed them with violence
And nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing
Nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing, you're not laughing
You're not laughing
High, high, high
And divide them by color and size
And take all your problems
Advise them everything's fine
And since you ran away
You've been beating your habits to death
And if you were to stay
Would you feel this white happiness?
Nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing
High
Take all your pills
And divide them by number and might
And take all your problems
Chastise them, everything's nice
Since you ran away
You've been beating them ladders instead
And if you were to stay would you feed them with violence
And nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing
Nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing, you're not laughing
You're not laughing
High, high, high

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i m beginning to this this song is about someone in rehab, who has all these different medications (pills) they need to take, and they're just killing time by sorting them all. "nobody wants to harm you when you're outside" means that away from the rehab centre,in the real world, people are nice, you've just experienced the worst of ppl
I think the person is getting out of a mental hospital and is in denial about the whole thing. And the medication is stealing his/her feelings and thoughts (meds do that to you) and the person is just trying to pass time, but can't figure out what to do.
I think BipolarBears is right on because that is exactly how I interpreted the song when I first heard it.
I'm with BipolarBear and swellmelmel on this one. I this song as the theme song for my comic character, Mad, who's committed to a mental institution and doesn't get to see the outside world.
the first time i heard this song i thought it was about a person trying to deal with their problems and reality with drugs. "white happiness" is smack..or something of that sort...and the people on the outside are people who aren't junkies. if he were to "stay" with those who don't use drugs than he wouldn't feel this "white happiness." i could be totally off...just what i was thinking.
maybe we're all taking it too literally. all our lady peace fans know that raine maida doesn't always write EXACTLY what he means, but it comes across anyway. i think perhaps these pills are everyone's vices and various addictions. this song seems like it just features one person's struggles through life, and it wasn't a pleasant journey. but the last part of the song is sung with a sense of victory and finality, which makes the song not a total downer to me. and it is fun to rock to.
I agree with bipolar bear (who I think understands as well as I do) This CD came out not long after I was in the hospital, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, I heard OLP songs in my head and thought they were messages to me, about me, songs like this seemed to reinforce that mode of thinking for me
i feel that this song is about someone who has a drug problem. that they are depressed and is trying to fix their depression w/ drugs. the first verse says to me that they ran away to try to fix things and become happy but then their not really happy, "white happiness" like a white lie... the chorus says that the person still tries to live their life even tho they want to die and careless it says that someone understands what they are going through and that while everyone else is happy and laughing, there is someone who knows and isnt laughin, or isnt happy either. the 2nd verse says basically the same thing but it tells the person w/ the problems to stay and to try to beat whats owning their life
Great Song. . Great Band. .
I took a deaper meaning from this song. I thought that it was about some one who is afraid to act like themself. They have all these ways of making sure no one finds out. In the corus its talking about how in reality no one is trying to attack him. But some ones knows he's faking it.
