The days run together
They crowd at your front gate
But you can't let them in
So you tell them to wait

And one by one
They file up the driveway
And your bell is still ringing
As down goes the day

So you take off your shoes
And you turn up the volume
And they all go to sleep
While you're safe in your room

And in your bed at night
A stranger sleeps beside
And she opens your wardrobe
And she fumbles inside

[Chorus]
Let me in, let me in
Or ill blow your house down
Let me in, let me in
Cause there's snow on the ground
I won't wait here forever
And then you will see
You should never say never
'Cause I sow what you reap

They huddle on your doorstep
As the clouds start to break
And they scratch at your windows
And they bang on your gate

And they walk on your doormat
With wet muddy shoes
And now and then the lights go out
'Cause they've stolen the fuse

And sometimes in the night
You answer the phone
And they breathe down the line
Just to see if you're home

They sing in your garden
Like dogs when the fight
And the noise that they make
Drills holes in the night

[Chorus]

    This song is amazing. Spooky and intriguing. I can't decide if it's about a celebrity and his/her fans being too fascinated and wanting too much from the celeb, or if it's a man haunted by ghosts, metaphorical or literal. Either way, it's a brilliant song.

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."
