To you
I'm all I've left undone
I'm all I haven't won
Lift me up my soul's so hollow
Lift me up
You take
The breath you didn't make
What's left you did forsake
Lift me up my soul's so hollow [Repeat: x1]
You can make me scream internally
You can make me breathe eternally
Yeah
You see
The things I cannot change
The things that make me plain
Lift me up my soul's so hollow
Lift me up
We've made
All from the sum of none
All that we have become
Lift me up my soul's so hollow [Repeat: x1]
You can make me scream internally
You can make me breathe eternally
You can make me scream internally
You can make me breathe eternally
Fill, fill what's in me
Fill, fill what's in you
Fill, fill what's in me
So my soul's not left so hollow
You can make me scream
You can make me breathe
You can make me scream internally
You can make me breathe eternally
You can make me scream
You can make me breathe
You can make me scream
You can make me breathe, me breathe
I'm all I've left undone
I'm all I haven't won
Lift me up my soul's so hollow
Lift me up
You take
The breath you didn't make
What's left you did forsake
Lift me up my soul's so hollow [Repeat: x1]
You can make me scream internally
You can make me breathe eternally
Yeah
You see
The things I cannot change
The things that make me plain
Lift me up my soul's so hollow
Lift me up
We've made
All from the sum of none
All that we have become
Lift me up my soul's so hollow [Repeat: x1]
You can make me scream internally
You can make me breathe eternally
You can make me scream internally
You can make me breathe eternally
Fill, fill what's in me
Fill, fill what's in you
Fill, fill what's in me
So my soul's not left so hollow
You can make me scream
You can make me breathe
You can make me scream internally
You can make me breathe eternally
You can make me scream
You can make me breathe
You can make me scream
You can make me breathe, me breathe

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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
I seen this on a kickass youtube music video (Full Metal Alchemist). I freaking love it. I just wish SOMEONE could clearly say what it means.
This line I really love:
You take, the breathe you didn't make Whats left you did forsake
To me, it's taking everything from someone, right down to the breath they take (it gets to that point), and kind of discarded everything else that the person had (cruelly, probably, like they took what they wanted and scoff at everything else about that person).
Then:
You can make me scream internally You can make me breathe eternally
They make you hurt, right down to the core, but you need them to survive. I kind of see it that this person is saying it bitterly, as opposed to, "They cause me a lot of pain, but I love them." More like, "You make my life Hell and make me hollow, but I need you to live" in an angry way. >_> Probably just my own personal feelings on it.
To me this song seems to be a lament about a person who only sees your failures rather than your accomplishments.
"To you, I'm all I've left undone I'm all I haven't won"
Even then the singer seems to rely on the person to a certain extent despite how frustrated they make him.
"You can make me scream internally You can make me breathe eternally"
About sums of all I can think of to say for now.
I really like this song.
I agree with FaithlessSinner on what it means; it's about someone who sees only your failures, not your accomplishments...letting your flaws outweigh your good traits, etc. Seems like it could be about a parent-child relationship, like when the parent can never be proud of a child no matter what they accomplish...
I'm not about to analyze this song word for word (great song by the way), however I will attempt to state what the song's core message is based on what I've read on the band's website. The lines "you can make me scream internally, you can make be breathe eternally" tells of a girls who makes this man's life a living hell at times (scream), yet she is the one he cannot live without (breathe). Anyone who's ever been in a meaningful relationship can relate. Can't live with them, can't live without them is how the old saying goes.
What a voice!
FAithlessSinner's theory does make a lot of sense.
I think it is some kind of song to God and the singer is angry at his Creator. Just my theory though

Im not quite so sure what this song is about, but me and my friend both know the band members because the bassist's dad (Kelan) is our coach at school, so next time we see Donald I'll ask him what he wrote it about ;-)
that would be awesome.
i think if it's spiritual it's about not knowing why God does certain things but he needs him anyway
if it's about a girl i'd go w/ Faithless Sinner's theory.
