[Chorus x2]
All things change
Never rest, never sure
What is worth
Fighting on for

All things change
Around
All is faith
Unwound

I found a lead
A single furtive reason
My senses reeled
In seeking youthful madness
I trust belief belongs to me
Someone will come
To spit the seed
A single weed gets respect
I'll change my quills to break the will
Forever must hold

All things strain
Be they changed
Be they fair
Be they hope
Masked as care

[Chorus x2]

You might
Be there
God knows
Skies stare
Taste dirt

You hurt
Swallow
Shallow
Forgive

This day
Summon
Courage
No light
Comes in
Shadows
Laughing

[Chorus]

We can change the world

    I think this song references Billy's first attempt at a solo album before he had even formed the smashing pumpkins, which was called "nothing ever changes". I think it talks about how hes grown since then and how all the changes he has gone thru have led him to grow more experienced.

    i think this was a good choice for his single... especially seeing that it seems to be about his changes.

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."

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.
