The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."
I love this song...it just kinda puts me in that summer have fun mood. Its stuff me and my friends all have on at our parties in the summertime...
this song is about a women being beautiful....really beautiful...good song for the chicks.
people might not put comments on it because the people who listen to it don't care what it is about or because there is no detailed meaning in it.
Most rappers do suck (Gangsta rappers in general like 50 cent, P diddy, Lil John, Lil Flip, T.I., the game, etc etc.) I know snoop is a sort of gangsta rapper but his voice and style is so addiciting and i got mad love for the dude. This songs has always been a favorite of mine. Basically about hot chicks!
i know what you mean! he does sometimes sing about stupid shit, but his voice is so catchy :) <br /> glad someone agrees
i'm not really into this kinda music but i adore this song
i just saw the video for this song
whilst i was watching i just had the image of some impressionable girls saying 'pharrel's hot', i thought no they can't be that stupid or shallow BUT I WAS WRONG
The boxer shorts, lol hilarious, pharrell is so witty
chocalate wtf?
LOL ppl u r sooo funny. anyway I really don't like to comment on these kind of songs, BUT I have to admit I got a weakness 4 this song dude. idk y i guess cuz it jst reminds me of 2003 (when this came out) and fun times and stuff. All u guys DON'T HATE! This song is awesum!
Great song on so many levels. The rap is dope! The singing by Pharrell is great and Charlie Wilson does some great backing! Just love this song and can play it over and over again! I even know most of the rap although until I saw the lyrics I got quite a lot wrong! Ha!
Did anyone ever notice that no one comments on these songs? probably because 'Snoop Dogg' and most other rappers are stupid shit heads living off of calling women bitches and there is nothing else to comment on.
