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.
Dark of night, I sigh, and you roll over
Eyes meet the black of your back
I relax
And kiss your shoulder
It seems whenever we sleep, my right side leans
You're there and I swear that I'm held in midair
By what this means
Thinking now about this course we've sailed
And the span and the range of the change is so strange
And it's left us pretty pale
So I suggest I find some way to fight
The fears that reduce 20 years into tears
When nothing feels alright
So I can get some sleep...
Remember those nights
When the phone was all that was prevailing?
Remember post fights
When a soft and sure apology dried up all the saline?
And what could replace
Waking up at 4 am to carefully planned calls?
They've fallen from grace
But I'd trade them in an instant just to live inside those same four walls.
It's in this silence where my thoughts unfold
And I'm restless, breathless, again.
But then I'm back (I'm back)
To my panic attacks
And what calms me down, I guess it all depends
Depends on me...
Remember those nights
When the phone was all that was prevailing?
Remember post fights
When a soft and sure apology dried up all the saline?
And what could replace
Waking up at 4 am to carefully planned calls?
They've fallen from grace
But I'd trade them in an instant just to live inside those same four walls.
Flash floods, a downpour of our will
I'm torn between a killer love and a love I'd hate to kill
But strong words of that kind are not really my kind
I'm too kind to define what is yours and what is mine
Our story's unfolding as your hands are holding the pieces that make me
But your eyes could break me
So just once, think twice, it's three now, go for this ride
There's five ways to mend this and six ways to end this
But what is amounting from hours of counting
On feelings or friendships or lips meeting my hips?
It's out there; an answer
Why I chose to chance her
And when we have settled, then we can...
Remember those nights
When the phone was all that was prevailing?
Remember post fights
When a soft and sure apology dried up all the saline?
And what could replace
Waking up at 4 am to carefully planned calls?
They've fallen from grace

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."
