This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We are more than we are
We are one
If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am?
Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?
Your journey has only begun
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
One family under the sun
You will find when you see
We are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We are more than we are
We are one
If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am?
Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?
Your journey has only begun
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
One family under the sun
You will find when you see
We are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this song makes me cry because when my mom left my dad and took me i had the tape and was listening to it in the car and she repeated the line "things dont always go the way we planned"so it makes me sad =[
this song is just awesome
This is the movie's "Circle of Life' song you can say. It really is beautiful and so true. Some people just need to listen.
Sometimes when I hear this I feel like my parents should have sang a life lesson in a song or something
This is my fav TLK2:SP song (not my fav from the trilogy, and even THAT isn't my fav Disney song). I love it. It's a nice song. :)
well every time i listen to this song it makes me cry becsue not everything in life will go the way you want it to because alot of things has happend in this world today that we can not help with. but to me people need to listen to this song because it has a real true meaning to it.
this songs meaning to me is the meaning of life. Simba tells his daughter that life's not handed to you on a plate and life does go on if you believe deep enough. this song is my life meaning and this song teaches us true meanings of real life
I've listened to this song over and over again and it is by far my favorite song from the Lion King trilogy. The meaning behind this song in my eyes can be many different things. Based on the movie and the fact that Kiera said she doesn't want to be a Princess in Simba's eyes he's stating that this is life and you can't run from it. It's not going to end. It is what it is kind of thing, but every Disney fan knows that this song has much more of a deeper meaning to it. Now if you take the fact that the "outsiders" are a shade or two darker than the pridelanders you'll understand that this movie specifically was a racist movie. Now remember when Kiera and Kovu are standing between Simba and Zira and Kiera states that a wise king once told her that "We are one". Well its in a way saying no one is different. We're all the same inside and out. It only makes sense when you put two and two together. What is the true meaning? Well, it's in the title. We are one. "We are a part of each other."
