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 went to your house a little monkey in the gloom
You were making bacon the punch line came too soon
Made me a beverage thought I had it made
Turns out it was a glass of see ya laterade
I know where tomorrow be too damn far away
Today ain't my cup of tea and everything is gray
Knuckled out and lost all the bats have flown
Monster's in the closets' all I've ever known
All the gold in the sunset all the diamonds on the sea
All the gold in the sunset's all I'll ever need
All the gold in the sunset all the diamonds on the sea
It's all we need to set ourselves free
Chuckle belly superstition brought on by the dead
Got inside my constitution ate up my whole head
Take me down to nowhere that's where I belong
Keep yourself beautiful don't try and get me wrong
Sideshow snakebites got me in the mood
I recently switched over to decaf honey I hate to be so rude
But I've been operating all night and I need some quick relief
Released in the ocean with your shark-like teeth
She'll use all the closet brass in her little pipe
Smoking in those wingtips
Kissing all them young boys goodnight
Damage done soliloquy high-water gash
Fire hose rose walls I need a little cash
Swimming in her boxcar her scents in my beard
There's going to be a fireworks display tonight everything is weird
Sperm kitchen headach everywhere I turn
Shallow-wire and snakeskin maybe I'll never learn
She got the gun she got the gun again sipping on a pipe razor packed up and smoking indochina
You were making bacon the punch line came too soon
Made me a beverage thought I had it made
Turns out it was a glass of see ya laterade
I know where tomorrow be too damn far away
Today ain't my cup of tea and everything is gray
Knuckled out and lost all the bats have flown
Monster's in the closets' all I've ever known
All the gold in the sunset all the diamonds on the sea
All the gold in the sunset's all I'll ever need
All the gold in the sunset all the diamonds on the sea
It's all we need to set ourselves free
Chuckle belly superstition brought on by the dead
Got inside my constitution ate up my whole head
Take me down to nowhere that's where I belong
Keep yourself beautiful don't try and get me wrong
Sideshow snakebites got me in the mood
I recently switched over to decaf honey I hate to be so rude
But I've been operating all night and I need some quick relief
Released in the ocean with your shark-like teeth
She'll use all the closet brass in her little pipe
Smoking in those wingtips
Kissing all them young boys goodnight
Damage done soliloquy high-water gash
Fire hose rose walls I need a little cash
Swimming in her boxcar her scents in my beard
There's going to be a fireworks display tonight everything is weird
Sperm kitchen headach everywhere I turn
Shallow-wire and snakeskin maybe I'll never learn
She got the gun she got the gun again sipping on a pipe razor packed up and smoking indochina

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 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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is a really relaxing song for me it flows really well too this song basically talks about having all you could ever want or need, and freedom the lyrics aren't so easy to examine or form a simple meaning though
i think the man's lyrics are positively brilliant. i bet the majority of his audience these days don't even get it...
