This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Whoever thought the sun would come crashing down
My life in flames, my tears complete the pain
We fear the end, the dark as deep as river bed
My book of life incomplete without you here
Alone I sit and reminisce
Sometimes I miss your touch, your kiss, your smile
And meanwhile you know I never cry
'Cause deep down inside, you know our love will never ever die
Everything's gonna be alright (yeah)
Everything's gonna be okay (no doubt)
Everything's gonna be alright
Together we can take this one day at a time
Can you take my breath away? (Yeah)
Can you give him life today? (No doubt)
'Cause everything's gonna be okay
I'll be your strength
I'll be here when you wake up
Take your time and I'll be here when you wake up (ah-ha)
I never thought my heart would miss a single beat
Caress your hand as I watch you while you sleep
So sweet, I weep as I search within
To find a cure, to bring you back again
And the sun will rise open up your eyes
Surprise, just a blink of an eye
I try, I try to be positive
You're a fighter, so fight
Wake up and live
Everything's gonna be alright (yeah)
Everything's gonna be okay (no doubt)
Everything's gonna be alright
Together we can take this one day at a time
Can you take my breath away? (Yeah)
Can you give him life today? (No doubt)
'Cause everything's gonna be okay
I'll be your strength
I'll be here when you wake up
Everything's gonna be alright
(I'll wait a lifetime)
I'd give my life to only see you breathe again
Hand in hand as we walk on the white sands
To hear your voice, rejoice as you rise and say
This is the day that I wake pray, okay
Today's silence as time just moves on
You can hear it though
But I'm playing my favorite songs
I miss you much, I wish you'd come back to me
You see I'd wait a lifetime 'cause you're my destiny
Everything's gonna be alright (yeah)
Everything's gonna be okay (no doubt)
Everything's gonna be alright
Together we can take this one day at a time
Can you take my breath away? (Yeah)
Can you give him life today? (No doubt)

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."

American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I loved this song back in the day. When I listened to it then, I thought this was strictly about missing someone who is already dead.
But as I am older listening to it, I think the second verse is a reminiscent verse of when her loved one was sick. It seems that they were in a coma or some other debilitating state. She was probably at his/her side until the very end. Hoping, praying and remaining strong for a recovery.
The first and third verses seem like the feelings she had when they finally passed on.
