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”
Silent screams and shattered dreams
Of what we left at seventeen
Still lost within the misery
And pain that lies inside
Here alone, the fight to breathe
Still searching for the truth to be
Blackened by the burning fire
Held deep inside my mind
Far beyond the lost horizon
Standing on the shore
Across the seas, their hearts will bleed
This life we're waiting for
Taste the steel, in pain you kneel
For glory, we defend
Our fallen souls will rise to fight again
Stay here with me
This night we'll be together
Future in our hands, we'll fight
With freedom drawing near
Stand here with me
For we will live forever
Tonight, we stand and face it all
Falling rain will hide the pain
That lies beneath the burning flames
All hope is gone, so carry on
Before the world will fall
Rise again to die in vain
Now life can never be the same
Our own salvation drawing nearer
Hear the darkness call
Skies are falling, thunder storming
Stand before the world
We're banished now to barren wastelands
Fight the demon whore
Riding on through blackened darkness
Cross the endless sands
We sail away our victory at hand
Stay here with me
Together we'll be stronger
Side by side, we've conquered lands
And stormed across the seas
Die here with me
We feel this pain no longer
For now and ever we will be
In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
(Just scream) set me free
In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards a glory sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
Feel the breakdown of my body
(Just scream) set me free
Of what we left at seventeen
Still lost within the misery
And pain that lies inside
Here alone, the fight to breathe
Still searching for the truth to be
Blackened by the burning fire
Held deep inside my mind
Far beyond the lost horizon
Standing on the shore
Across the seas, their hearts will bleed
This life we're waiting for
Taste the steel, in pain you kneel
For glory, we defend
Our fallen souls will rise to fight again
Stay here with me
This night we'll be together
Future in our hands, we'll fight
With freedom drawing near
Stand here with me
For we will live forever
Tonight, we stand and face it all
Falling rain will hide the pain
That lies beneath the burning flames
All hope is gone, so carry on
Before the world will fall
Rise again to die in vain
Now life can never be the same
Our own salvation drawing nearer
Hear the darkness call
Skies are falling, thunder storming
Stand before the world
We're banished now to barren wastelands
Fight the demon whore
Riding on through blackened darkness
Cross the endless sands
We sail away our victory at hand
Stay here with me
Together we'll be stronger
Side by side, we've conquered lands
And stormed across the seas
Die here with me
We feel this pain no longer
For now and ever we will be
In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
(Just scream) set me free
In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards a glory sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
Feel the breakdown of my body
(Just scream) set me free

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
