in a dream
in a place
where the far reaches of this mind
i have seen a true nightmare
with the kiss of lovers lips
what a friendly offer
just a memory
it still hurts
when i think that once
she was mine

because im lost for words
with one last breath
for me to take from you
now gasp for air
theres nothing left
for me to take from you

i guess its only right
to give someone what they need
even if its nothing they ever
wanted in the first place
ive seen with my own two eyes
the hurt and pain
that love causes
thats why i wont let you
go down that road
too emotional overdose

if i had her again
everything would be alright
but nothings alright
and nothings ok
when you live in a memory

im lost for words
with one last breath
for me to take from you
now gasp for air
theres nothing left
for me to take from you

just a breakdown of the heart
im lost for words that wont mean a thing
a tragic ending
a farewell to
a friendship that meant
nothing at all
you let her in
you let her win
is there anything else
to break or mend a bond as strong as ours
that wallow all through love
all through life

im lost for words
with one last breath
for me to take from you
now gasp for air
theres nothing left
for me to take from you

    i think the meaning of this song is quite obvious....it's about dating your best friend, falling in love with him/her, and then breaking up and losing the great friendship you had.

    this song really hits home for me...i had a great friendship with this girl who i met my freshman year of college. i eventually fell in love with her, and she had fallen for me as well (or so she said)..we started dating and things were so great. i was more happy than i had ever been before..until i found out that she had been playing me and seeing at least one other guy behind my back...i was crushed, and in the end our friendship was ruined..

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 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."
