She feels like a stranger has come in the night and
Stolen her life and left her with this and boughs
Break on ebony toothaches
She is a flask trapped inside a fall
I know you need to find what you thought you left behind in a past life

I won't question why the only light that you have you give away
I know you need to find what you thought you left behind in a past life
I won't question why the only light that you have you give away
She feels like a stranger has come in the night and stolen her life and left her with this

    It's not about a suicide, per se. It's more like, she doesnt know who she is anymore. The "stranger" that came "in the night," is what she's become. She opened her eyes one day and didn't know who she was or how she got there.

    It could also be about betrayal. Someone broke her... not her heart (it's not a sappy love song...) but broke her spirit. Changed who she was. Someone she didnt like. To the point where it's hard to see the purpose of living.

    .... At least that's what it means to me when I listen to it. With the exception of maybe "I, Manface" this is probably my favorite Man Man song. It's so simple and rythmic and dark. I just LOVE it.

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."
