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”
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the horror
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the monster
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the horror
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the horror
I will amuse myself with terror, and...
From what grave did I come? From what evil mixture was I compounded?
I have all the time I need to put an end to you...
And to find me, to destroy the monster...
I am real...
No one...
No one is safe!
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the horror
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the monster
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the monster
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the horror
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the horror
I will amuse myself with terror, and...
From what grave did I come? From what evil mixture was I compounded?
I have all the time I need to put an end to you...
And to find me, to destroy the monster...
I am real...
No one...
No one is safe!
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the horror
Time, time, time, time, time to understand the monster

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I have no clue what movie the samples are from, but the lyrics here are a bit wrong. It seems to go:
"I will amuse myself with terror, and..." "From what grave did I come? From what evil mixture was I compounded?" "I have all the time I need to put an end to you..."
Actually, the sound samples are from the Famous Monsters Speak LP, Frankenstein's Monster Speaks. If you can find it, you should listen to it. It's pretty intense.
This song is definitely about cold war. First of all -- the video. A counfused guy dressed formally, looking for evidences (spy) while dancing with black-dressed people (danger of death by missile crisis), trying to fix some techonological equipment to play some tapes (tech race during cold war). It's all about time... time... time... who gets first to space? who gets first to moon? who travels faster?. The sound of trains at 1:20 and Sputnik sattelite at 1:30 makes me absolutely sure. Ofcourse, that remains always a personal opinion...
Thus the song starts dynamicaly (beggining of cold war after USA bombing Japan), during the middle becomes more "pathetic" (Kruschev's-Brezhnev's Era) and at the ending becomes again dynamicaly just like in the beggining (War in Afghanistan, Perestroika, Dissolution of USSR...).
cant believe no one has commeneted on this tune its awesome and levis (i think ) have jus picked up on it for there latest add campaign. Come on people
Do comments such as the one above matter anyway? No they don't, and neither does mine.
If there is nothing to say, why comment on the fact that there is nothing to say? This in itself defeats its own purpose.
this song scares the shit out of me every time i listen to it i have to listen to it over and over
I as introdiced to RJD2's CD 'Deadringer', just a few days ago, and this has got to be my favorite from the album.
Amazing music!

Does anyone know what movie the quotes in this song are from?
weird every time i listen to this song (which is lots of times), i hear "time to understand the world" not "time to understand the horror" i know it must be horror because thats what it is called, but i just keep hearing world. how can world sound like horror? weird.
