Are you cryin' tonight, are you
Feelin' alright
I'll tell the world that you are,
Down on your luck, you were
One of the kind
One who'd never give in
Even when they put a price on your head

Has anyone heard the tales you tell
Or seen the scars you wear
Did anyone speak up when you fell
Does anybody care

Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don't let 'em end the things you do

And you were one with a cause,
And a reason to be
You were a fighter for peace
On this earth
And you were never afraid
You put your life on the line
And you were always alone
Out on the sea

Without a weapon in your hand
You came to fight a war
They took your life, but didn't know
That you would never die

Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don't let 'em end the things you do

Are you feelin' alright
'Cause I care

Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don't let 'em end the things you do

Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don't let 'em end the things you do

    Why does a song need to be limited to one meaning? To me music is inspiring. Depending on my mood and circumstances a song can mean one thing one day and something completely different the next.

    One person can see one message in a song and someone else can see something else - as demonstrated in the above posts. One person interpretted it to mean a song about Jesus, another about a ship, and one more about police officers.

    The song was originally written about a ship, but why does it have to be limited to just that in its interpretation? It sounds to me like the author intentionally left some vagueness to leave it open to interpretation.

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 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."
