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”
It's 3:18, mouth tastes like the corpse of every pregnant teen.
The minutes are hours, the hours are days.
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tounges.
I smell the lies, dancing on your blackened lungs.
I whispered in her ear:
"Fear me dear, for I am Death.
I'll take your hope, your dreams, your love
till there's nothing left."
I whispered in her ear:
"You better fear me dear, for I am Death.
And I'll take that shit you call a life,
in a single fucking breath."
I'll take your hope.
I'll take your fucking dreams.
I'll take your love.
I'll take everything, you fucking bitch.
I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes.
I'll turn your promises into lies.
I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes.
I'll turn your promises into lies.
It's 3:18, mouth tastes like the corpse of every pregnant teen.
The hours are days, the days are dead.
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tounges.
I smell the lies, dancing on your blackened lungs.
I hear the fear in your voice, but you shouldn't feel a thing.
Your life's already worse than any pain that I could bring.
That I could bring.
That I could bring.
I could make it December every day.
But you're so blind, it may as well be May.
And I whispered in her ear:
"You better fear me dear, for this is Death."
And I whispered in her ear:
"Fear me, 'cause I am Death."
One more time!
I whispered in her ear:
"Fear me dear, for I am Death.
I'll take everything you ever loved."
I whispered in her ear:
"You better fear me, for I am Death.
For I am Death.
For I am Death."
Bitch!
The minutes are hours, the hours are days.

till there's nothing left."
I whispered in her ear:

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Ziko, i agree with your interpretation. Oli's writing about someone lying to him, but him knowing the truth.' 'i'll steal the diamonds form your eyes, i'll turn your promises into lies' - to me this means she's possibly lived a fortunate and good life, but he's so pissed at her for lying [or something to that extent] that he's gunna turn that all around and make her life a living hell. "I'll take your hope. I'll take your fucking dreams. I'll take your love. I'll take everything, you fucking bitch" but when he says 'your life is worse than any pain i could bring' he means that the life she is living is the worst anyone could live -the life of a liar, a betrayer. but she doesn't realize it. she thinks she has a life filled with 'diamonds'. now i could be way off on that part, but thats what i get from it.
