This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Soft from your lips to the rise of your stomach
Your lungs filled with fingers keep jamming words down my throat
Nothing to steal we've got nothing to love
Nothing to spill because oh we're so innocent oh
Oh on the edge of
Oh on the edge of
I could have built you a house on the ocean
The ocean repeating and receding into the sun
So cut to you dead and now cut to the laughing
Cut through our bodies and lastly into our oh
Oh on the edge of
Oh
Oh on the edge of
Your lungs filled with fingers keep jamming words down my throat
Nothing to steal we've got nothing to love
Nothing to spill because oh we're so innocent oh
Oh on the edge of
Oh on the edge of
I could have built you a house on the ocean
The ocean repeating and receding into the sun
So cut to you dead and now cut to the laughing
Cut through our bodies and lastly into our oh
Oh on the edge of
Oh
Oh on the edge of

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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Maybe I've got tunnel vision about this, and only see things in this way due to a bad breakup, but this looks kind of like that.
One side (I'm guessing the man due to Alan's vocal dominance) gave his all and then some in this relationship, thus becoming passive; willing to please his significant other by any means possible. Naturally, going by the somber and mournful sound of this song, that significant other cheated/broke up/did something that ended the relationship, giving her "nothing to steal", "nothing to love," and "nothing to spill" because he is now gone.
Of course he misses her, and rhetorically tells her of all of the wonderful things they could have done together ("I could have built you a house on the ocean"), but she doesn't listen, bringing us to the present (the "live feed") which is of loneliness and despair.
Looking at it again, this could definitely be about an abortion. The female partner got an abortion without the father's consent ("jamming words down my throat"). Though the baby was unexpected, the future father was very much looking forward to having a child, and is extraordinarily angry at the mother (there's so much sarcasm in the "oh, we're so innocent" line) for taking that away from him.
The father was looking forward to what he could have done for his child (the "house on the ocean" line, demonstrating doing the impossible for your love), but that is over, and in a very graphic depiction of how when the abortion specialist cut into his partner's body, that person also "cut through" his.
Cutting through to the "live feed," or the present, the mother now regrets her decision, and soon her regret and her husband's depression "bleed" slowly into one, and they realize they only have each other.
I like your ideas untilyoureform, and I absolutely love this song. It reminds me of a not so great experience I've had with someone who i can't help being close to.
