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”
How you gonna get up if you ain't never been down?
How you gonna move on if you ain't never had enough?
Give the signal advance the pill pushers
Administer a change purse full of Thorazine
Show this girl a little bar courtesy and
Keep her senses clear of the scene
We've found a gentleman caller who goes by the name
She's been weeping for, turn her over
Easy in easy out we've nearly got this situation
Stabilized, just some winces to eradicate
Take a deep breath cut the blue wire
Keep your fingers crossed and pray she's been detached
She stirs and I'm emasculated
Doctor! Doctor! Give her the blues
She got herself a varsity letter by loving you
Breach and clear the abandoned back seat of the Cadillac
We've been altered by the local authorities
That regret has been seen on the grounds
Teasing the dogs, making the rounds
There's a heart shaped bed in the honeymoon
Ward that circulates dust
Twitches and vomits in fits like the damned
Comforts none but the sloth yet we pay
By the hour for the bricklayers view
Johnny, dream of your gun, goddammit it Commander
She's a hopeless case, note the time she arrived
I didn't think we would lose another one to the sound
There were too many fangs for us to tame
Someone fetch her blue eyes from a restroom wall downtown
She stirs, we underestimated
Doctor! Doctor! Give me the news
She caught herself a cause of the wilds by loving you
She caught a bad case of the wilds and she flat lines
How you gonna move on if you ain't never had enough?
Give the signal advance the pill pushers
Administer a change purse full of Thorazine
Show this girl a little bar courtesy and
Keep her senses clear of the scene
We've found a gentleman caller who goes by the name
She's been weeping for, turn her over
Easy in easy out we've nearly got this situation
Stabilized, just some winces to eradicate
Take a deep breath cut the blue wire
Keep your fingers crossed and pray she's been detached
She stirs and I'm emasculated
Doctor! Doctor! Give her the blues
She got herself a varsity letter by loving you
Breach and clear the abandoned back seat of the Cadillac
We've been altered by the local authorities
That regret has been seen on the grounds
Teasing the dogs, making the rounds
There's a heart shaped bed in the honeymoon
Ward that circulates dust
Twitches and vomits in fits like the damned
Comforts none but the sloth yet we pay
By the hour for the bricklayers view
Johnny, dream of your gun, goddammit it Commander
She's a hopeless case, note the time she arrived
I didn't think we would lose another one to the sound
There were too many fangs for us to tame
Someone fetch her blue eyes from a restroom wall downtown
She stirs, we underestimated
Doctor! Doctor! Give me the news
She caught herself a cause of the wilds by loving you
She caught a bad case of the wilds and she flat lines

Mountain Song

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

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Cont'd Suggests that she had thought there was a really big future with this man. And finally, some of the language used makes me feel that Keith was the guy that dumped her.
Keith uses very deep metaphors in his writing. Most people think his lyrics are just drunken ramblings or nonsense, but those people are generally too dumb to understand. He takes note of that in the song, "pretty dirty". I'm not saying my thoughts are right. I just want people to really read into his art. He is an insanely talented, unsung hero.
