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”
There are times in our lives
When we just cannot compromise
Can't take advice but can't deny
All of the things wrong in our lives
Need a reason for a new dream
When it seems like dawn won't come
Search for answers in the darkness
When it seems that there are none
I'm not coming home
There's nothing left there at all
Now I take this on my own
(We're part) of the bridges that we've crossed
(Forget) all the loved ones that we've lost
(Scream out) till your lungs fill up with blood
Shut up and wait for the breakdown
Eyes closed
What's the big deal?
Now darkness swallows me alive
Don't know what's the matter
Who cares, cause it doesn't seem to matter now
I'm not coming home
(We are worthless, we are lost)
There's nothing left there at all
Now I take this on my own
(We are reckless, we are young)
(We're part) of the bridges that we've crossed
(Forget) all the loved ones that we've lost
(Scream out) till your lungs fill up with blood
Shut up and wait for the breakdown
(We're part) of the bridges that we've crossed
(Forget) all the loved ones that we've lost
(Scream out) till your lungs fill up with blood
Shut up and wait for the breakdown now
If I can't sleep tonight
I'm gonna have to toss and turn
And go wandering through my mind
From everything I'll never find
And now I'm somewhere in between
Safe from the obscene
And I just wanna make you all believe
We are worthless, we are numb
We are reckless, we are young
We are everything you aren't
We are worthless, we are lost (x4)
When we just cannot compromise
Can't take advice but can't deny
All of the things wrong in our lives
Need a reason for a new dream
When it seems like dawn won't come
Search for answers in the darkness
When it seems that there are none
I'm not coming home
There's nothing left there at all
Now I take this on my own
(We're part) of the bridges that we've crossed
(Forget) all the loved ones that we've lost
(Scream out) till your lungs fill up with blood
Shut up and wait for the breakdown
Eyes closed
What's the big deal?
Now darkness swallows me alive
Don't know what's the matter
Who cares, cause it doesn't seem to matter now
I'm not coming home
(We are worthless, we are lost)
There's nothing left there at all
Now I take this on my own
(We are reckless, we are young)
(We're part) of the bridges that we've crossed
(Forget) all the loved ones that we've lost
(Scream out) till your lungs fill up with blood
Shut up and wait for the breakdown
(We're part) of the bridges that we've crossed
(Forget) all the loved ones that we've lost
(Scream out) till your lungs fill up with blood
Shut up and wait for the breakdown now
If I can't sleep tonight
I'm gonna have to toss and turn
And go wandering through my mind
From everything I'll never find
And now I'm somewhere in between
Safe from the obscene
And I just wanna make you all believe
We are worthless, we are numb
We are reckless, we are young
We are everything you aren't
We are worthless, we are lost (x4)

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."

"We are worthless, we are numb We are reckless, we are young We are everything you aren't We are worthless, we are lost"

Need a reason for a new dream When it seems like dawn won't come Search for answers Feel the darkness When it seems that there are none
I'm not coming home There's nothing left there at all Now I take this on my own
Of the bridges that we've crossed Of the loved ones that we've lost Till your lungs fill up with blood Shut up and wait for the break down

This is just what I think. Feel free to correct me, just don't start a flame-war. We are worthless, we are numb We are reckless, we are young We are everything you aren't We are worthless, we are lost
We are worthless, we are numb We are reckless, we are young We are everything you aren't We are worthless, we are lost
We are worthless, we are numb We are reckless, we are young We are everything you aren't We are worthless, we are lost
Ahhh! My post got messed up! Alright, just ignore that stuff above me.
I think it's about everyone how at one point they feel so worthless, and wrong, but not afraid to deny it. I'm too tired to really think and get into the meaning of it. >.<
