This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
In parallel sea what would I be?
My first love said to me:
"Tears out for the world to see"
I would not be
I did not see the China berry tree
Tears out, it would feel so
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Hard now to picture a me
Without a you
"Don't interfere"
Part of her back was frozen
For the remainder of the war
"Don't be concerned"
But I never learned how not to be
As my first love said to me:
"I don't care. I'm not there"
So that I could not sleep
My whole being was falling apart
So that I soon cried out:
"Dear friends, hold me!"
My first love said to me:
"Tears out for the world to see"
I would not be
I did not see the China berry tree
Tears out, it would feel so
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Hard now to picture a me
Without a you
"Don't interfere"
Part of her back was frozen
For the remainder of the war
"Don't be concerned"
But I never learned how not to be
As my first love said to me:
"I don't care. I'm not there"
So that I could not sleep
My whole being was falling apart
So that I soon cried out:
"Dear friends, hold me!"

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”
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."

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.

My God this song is so beautiful
I think it's about him realizing the darker side of the one he loves, the side that is coldhearted and vicious. Like in the line: "But I never learned how not to be," he sounds so innocent, so weak, as if he's pleading for her to understand how much he cares about her. Inevitably, it all falls apart, but it pains him all the same.
A chinaberry tree is a beautiful tree which provides poisonous fruits which are deadly and may cause death to humans.
Beautiful, but deadly That's how the girl which this song is about is described. He couldn't see the chinaberry tree - He couldn't see that though that girl was beautiful to him, she was poisonous inside
I think that he is bringing back some old, painful memories of the first time he fell in love, and how he was rejected and turned down and how innocent he was. He took it pretty hard - he's whole being was falling apart and needed his friends to hold him, so he's soul won't get completly broken.
It seems that as this song progresses, he turns from being with her to (suddenly) not being with her.
At the beginning everything seems fine. He mentions that he didn't see the chinaberry tree. The chinaberry tree is the one that will break them apart. Because chinaberry trees are poisonous, and they sprout at places you don't want them. He also sings that everything is heavenly, and that a life withouth the you-person is hard to picture.
So everything is fine, you can hear that by the music and the wonderful lead guitar but suddenly, the mood darkens.
"For the remainder of the war" could mean that "you" left because of something in the past, and he couldn't let that go carelessly away, because he cares and is there. This is proven by him describing sleeping problems, sadness and a need for someone who cares.
I agree with most of the comments here but I wanted to add the following.
There is a thing the narrator expresses twice: the importance of the "first love" (whatever it was) means to the narrator and how seriously it must be taken. First impressions last forever!
"Tears out for the world to see" means to me that upon suffering the true is revealed, that's why narrator considers the act of crying as a heaven, purifying experience.
From that point on I guess I say this out of my personal experience:
"don't interfere / part of her back was frozen" "don't be concerned / but I never learned how not to be" "as my first love said to me / I don't care, I'm not there"
The previous only means my stupid desire to try to fix people, to take the responsability of dealing with their problems. I must say, to my advantage, that I've never been wrong and I have always had this sixth sense to detect people that is broken in the inside.
"Hard now to picture a me Without a you" I think that this song is about a longing to be with someone, that has just rejected you. It seems like it's the first time you've run over the events of a break-up in your mind, and you can only remember the dark final moments.
for some reason I get the image that the other person is uncompassionate to the problems in the world, "I don't care. I'm not there" referring to a chatastrophe elsewhere or a developing country or w/e... and she's telling the narrator not to be so worried about things that don't really affect his life.
Chinaberry tree refers to a break up. The girl is the beautiful, yet poisionus chinaberry tree. My first love said to me: “Tears out for the world to see” That part is where the woman instigates the break up causing the persons "tears out for the world to see". The “Don’t interfere” is her saying leave me alone. Part of her back was frozen is her giving him the cold shoulder, and the remainder of the war is the remainder of the break up. “Don’t be concerned” is the don't worry about me line that the male would say to the chinaberry tree.
But I never learned how not to be As my first love said to me: “I don’t care. I’m not there”
This part is how he never learned how to stop caring about her, even though she did stop caring.
My whole being was falling apart So that I soon cried out: “Dear friends, hold me!”
Only his friends could help him now.
iron cat´s interpretation.. it is just so sweet.. nice to know whats a chinaberry tree love it =)
