The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Estas manos de rojo están
Manchadas por todas las veces
Que yo en mi sueños
Te he asesinado con tanta pasión
Enjuagaremos aquellas veces
Que dijiste que me amabas
Un poco de veneno y aguarrás
Sumérgete un poco más
Porque tú muerta ya estás
Muerta estarás
Puedes estar tranquila
Pues solo en sueños me atrevo a matar
Olvidaremos todos esos
Momentos que juntos pasamos
Te juro que yo no podré olvidar
Pues la venganza es prioridad
Celebraremos que todo terminó
Con un vodka barato
Si quieres cerveza, si quieres
Si quieres un poco más
Porque tú muerta ya estás
Muerta estarás
Puedes estar tranquila
Pues solo en sueños me atrevo a matar
Porque tú muerta ya estás, muertas estarás
Puedes estar tranquila, pues, solo en sueños (lo que tenía, te lo ofrecí)
Me atrevo a matar (ahora solo tengo malos pensamientos)
De rojo te ves bien
Combina con tus ojos y tu piel
De rojo te ves bien, rojo sangre
De rojo te ves bien (rojo te ves bien)
Rojo te ves bien (rojo te ves)
De rojo te ves bien (rojo)
De rojo te ves bien (lo que pedías yo te lo di) (rojo te ves bien)
De rojo te ves bien (lo que tenía te lo ofrecí) (rojo te ves)
De rojo te ves bien (ahora solo tengo malos pensamientos) (rojo)
De rojo te ves bien (porque tú muerta ya estás, muerta estarás)
De rojo te ves bien
De rojo te ves bien (me atrevo a matar)
(Ahora solo tengo malos pensamientos)

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
Sure, but they are the hell of some artists, and they already quit that crap, their new album is all thier own creation.
