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.
Do you remember the time
when you and I were fine?
Hiding under the apple tree,
there was no one but you and me
We would hide from passing cars
and we would have the summer stars
And we were better then, (better then)
then we'd ever been before (ever been)
You came back to me after walking out my door (out my door)
And you would call me on your phone
before you even got home (got home)
And without me you said you were all alone
The cold wind that blows
all the things I used to know
How could it fade so fast?
Never thought you'd be part of my past
Would I trade it all again
to get you out of my head?
Cause we were better then, (better then)
then we'd ever been before (ever been)
You came back to me after walking out my door (out my door)
And you would call me on your phone
(got home, got home, got home, got home)
before you even got home
And without me you said you were all alone, alone
Without me by your side
you said you were all alone
Give me one more chance
to prove myself to you
All the little things that I've longed to do
(when you went away)
Would you trade the cold
(you said you'd be)
so that I could hold you?
(coming up my front porch)
We'd make it all go away
(just to see me, baby)
And my heart is breaking (when you went away)
Would you hear me then? (you said that you'd be)
As the tears are longing (coming up my front porch)
for what used to be (just to see me)
Cause we were better then, (better then)
then we'd ever been before (ever been)
You came back to me after walking out my door (out my door)
And you would call me on your phone
(got home, got home, got home, got home)
before you even got home
And without me you said you were all alone
And without me you said you were all alone
Cause we were better then, (when you went away)
then we'd ever been before (you said you'd be)
You came back to me (coming up my front porch)
after walking out my door (just to see me)
And you would call me on your phone (when you went away)
before you even got home (you said you'd be)
And without me (coming up my front porch)
you said you were all alone (just to see me, baby)
when you and I were fine?
Hiding under the apple tree,
there was no one but you and me
We would hide from passing cars
and we would have the summer stars
And we were better then, (better then)
then we'd ever been before (ever been)
You came back to me after walking out my door (out my door)
And you would call me on your phone
before you even got home (got home)
And without me you said you were all alone
The cold wind that blows
all the things I used to know
How could it fade so fast?
Never thought you'd be part of my past
Would I trade it all again
to get you out of my head?
Cause we were better then, (better then)
then we'd ever been before (ever been)
You came back to me after walking out my door (out my door)
And you would call me on your phone
(got home, got home, got home, got home)
before you even got home
And without me you said you were all alone, alone
Without me by your side
you said you were all alone
Give me one more chance
to prove myself to you
All the little things that I've longed to do
(when you went away)
Would you trade the cold
(you said you'd be)
so that I could hold you?
(coming up my front porch)
We'd make it all go away
(just to see me, baby)
And my heart is breaking (when you went away)
Would you hear me then? (you said that you'd be)
As the tears are longing (coming up my front porch)
for what used to be (just to see me)
Cause we were better then, (better then)
then we'd ever been before (ever been)
You came back to me after walking out my door (out my door)
And you would call me on your phone

And without me you said you were all alone
And without me you said you were all alone
Cause we were better then, (when you went away)
then we'd ever been before (you said you'd be)
You came back to me (coming up my front porch)
after walking out my door (just to see me)
And you would call me on your phone (when you went away)
before you even got home (you said you'd be)
And without me (coming up my front porch)
you said you were all alone (just to see me, baby)

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.

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”
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."
