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”
Debris, dirt, disease, we've been brought to our knees, anything and everything is torn away.
Our world turned upside down and torn to the ground, shaking, thanking God for surviving this day.
In the wake of the Bunt!
Tattered masses digging through the remains of the lives come and gone.
That elusive light broken and reborn a brotherhood combines by the fury in our eyes.
Giant, looming all, consuming the bunt strikes like lightning.
Citizens feel fear!
The world turned upside and and torn to the ground,
Shaking, thanking God for surviving this day.
In the wake of the Bunt!!
Hearts aflame - we call the name of justice and nothing more.
Strike up the song and scream along, vengeance will be ours
This time it's war!
We set upon its quivering mass
And at last the moment has come.
Shaking, voices cry as innocents die
Avenging their poor broken homes with fury and violence.
We strike down she who defies us - bodies reach a horrible sum,
Then its horrible eyes lock on our thighs like they were appetizers in a feast to come.
Then opens the maw of that retched beast!
Dear God help us, it wants to consume us, eating the flesh of those on the hunt,
Peeling skin from my bones, I want to go home...
Dun dun dun dun
In the wake of the bunt!
We set upon its quivering mass
And at last the moment has come.
Shaking, voices cry as innocents die
Avenging their poor broken homes with fury and violence.
We strike down she who defies us - bodies reach a horrible sum,
Then its horrible eyes lock on our thighs like they were appetizers in a feast to come.
Our world turned upside down and torn to the ground, shaking, thanking God for surviving this day.
In the wake of the Bunt!
Tattered masses digging through the remains of the lives come and gone.
That elusive light broken and reborn a brotherhood combines by the fury in our eyes.
Giant, looming all, consuming the bunt strikes like lightning.
Citizens feel fear!
The world turned upside and and torn to the ground,
Shaking, thanking God for surviving this day.
In the wake of the Bunt!!
Hearts aflame - we call the name of justice and nothing more.
Strike up the song and scream along, vengeance will be ours
This time it's war!
We set upon its quivering mass
And at last the moment has come.
Shaking, voices cry as innocents die
Avenging their poor broken homes with fury and violence.
We strike down she who defies us - bodies reach a horrible sum,
Then its horrible eyes lock on our thighs like they were appetizers in a feast to come.
Then opens the maw of that retched beast!
Dear God help us, it wants to consume us, eating the flesh of those on the hunt,
Peeling skin from my bones, I want to go home...
Dun dun dun dun
In the wake of the bunt!
We set upon its quivering mass
And at last the moment has come.
Shaking, voices cry as innocents die
Avenging their poor broken homes with fury and violence.
We strike down she who defies us - bodies reach a horrible sum,
Then its horrible eyes lock on our thighs like they were appetizers in a feast to come.

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."
