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.
This can't be so all over
An end of my time i wasted
So much of my mind is racing
To the point of no return
Drown my sorrows flood my soul
By tomorrow i'll be cold
(push it all away,push it all away)
Now i'm hollow and alone
Take the shadow
Almost gone
(push it all away,push it all away)
Life can be so much colder
And i'll ever love a faceless
Lost inside replacements
Fill the void and
Roam the earth
Drown my sorrows flood my soul
By tomorrow i'll be cold
(push it all away,so cold)
Now i'm hollow and alone
Take the shadow
Almost gone
(raise the stakes what have we got to lose
no choice in sight where's our right to choose
you can't catch a break so take what you can
just ignore the blame you don't understand
cracked picture frames blood stains on the mattress
ashes to ashes - gas cans and matches
bourbon buries all the memories
anything to wash it all away)
Drown my sorrows flood my soul
By tomorrow i'll be cold
(push it all away,push it all away,push it all away)
Now i'm hollow and alone
raise your arrow way to run
(raise the stakes what have we got to lose
no choice in sight where's our right to choose
you can't catch a break so take what you can
just ignore the blame you don't understand
cracked picture frames blood stains on the mattress
ashes to ashes - gas cans and matches
bourbon buries all the memories
anything to wash it all away)
So all over
(wash it all away)
An end of my time i wasted
So much of my mind is racing
To the point of no return
Drown my sorrows flood my soul
By tomorrow i'll be cold
(push it all away,push it all away)
Now i'm hollow and alone
Take the shadow
Almost gone
(push it all away,push it all away)
Life can be so much colder
And i'll ever love a faceless
Lost inside replacements
Fill the void and
Roam the earth
Drown my sorrows flood my soul
By tomorrow i'll be cold
(push it all away,so cold)
Now i'm hollow and alone
Take the shadow
Almost gone
(raise the stakes what have we got to lose
no choice in sight where's our right to choose
you can't catch a break so take what you can
just ignore the blame you don't understand
cracked picture frames blood stains on the mattress
ashes to ashes - gas cans and matches
bourbon buries all the memories
anything to wash it all away)
Drown my sorrows flood my soul
By tomorrow i'll be cold
(push it all away,push it all away,push it all away)
Now i'm hollow and alone
raise your arrow way to run
(raise the stakes what have we got to lose
no choice in sight where's our right to choose
you can't catch a break so take what you can
just ignore the blame you don't understand
cracked picture frames blood stains on the mattress
ashes to ashes - gas cans and matches
bourbon buries all the memories
anything to wash it all away)
So all over
(wash it all away)

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”
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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This most likely has something to do with drinking, as apparent in the lyrics.
It's about drinking away a very bad memory In JMann's Screaming id gives a vague reference to murder of some kind I think
Just ignore the blame you don't understand. Cracked picture frames, bloodstains on the mattress Ashes to ashes, gas, cans and matches.
J-MANn is reffering to his first. (Blood stains on the mattress.) He can't believe that their relationship is over. And yes, he is trying to drink away her memory.
it sounds strangely similar to destroyer of senses in a strange way...
my opinion is that j mann is reflecting on a past relationship and is drinking it all away....but i also think hes burning the house as a result of pain....but not certain.
I see this as someone drinking away the bad memories but im not sure if it's a relationship or what
Yeah drinking away the memory of a lost love makes sense. but could the reference to the burning just be a metaphor to something eles maybe something bigger?
call me crazy but it almost sounds like somebody or j mann whatever, is drinking away the pains of a relationship and contemplating suicide. hence the broken picture frames he held in his hand when he shoots himself on his matress. and the arguement with himself;
this can't be (No choice in sight, where's our right to choose? You can't catch a break so take what you can)
(anything to wash it all away!) = suicide.
love the band. love this song
