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”

for the people who know,
deeper than 100's of thousands of debt,
your couch is now wet,
here is the washcloth to wipe yourself dry,
laundering money in laundromats
here is detergent, bearded arab (sergents?)
passing out cough drops,
like asking a sasqautch to take your gaspacho,
that's a nice watch bro, bough it costco,
god i like pasta, god is a monster,
monsters are modern, inventions forgotten,
potatoes are rotton, cradle your thoughts in,
a stable of oxine, **** **** ****,
ill strangle your datsun with a subaru walkman.
Busdriver:
save the little boy genius,
from a self-employed zenith,
but half the time im having car trouble,
do you have a monkey wrench or somebody to invest for my mars shuttle?
im supposed to be... reading poems and..
doing terrible card shuffles.. in (R�ba?)
im a licensed practitioner correcting brain flaws
with this guest star chainsaw, wearing a reclaimed shawl..
..are you ready to lose your virginity?...

for those of us who learnt to slide by on the minimum,
giving out the answers but wont discuss curriculum,
find yourself a pimp or whore, **** and go visit em,
sitting on your home hosing your lawn just like a businessman.
Busdriver:
are you ready to lose yoour virginity?
in the proccessor of the oil slick blender..
whos consenter is his toilet plunger...
save the endangered horsey animals..
from the pill-face warmongers..
who just happen to be your forefathers..
invite us and the conspiracy theorys..
very (harmonous)? to family, dinners with the grand wizards.
to *** your ***** dad..
and because your long hair and bong hair and hand scissors, your his color copy.. **** call your mother mommy or your mother mum if you cannot tell the difference between a plate of food and a cluster bomb...
this is a healthy excercise in recreational paranoia

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."

Most of this is totally wrong. Here's the official lyrics from the Mush website (the label that put out this record) mushrecords.com/lyrics.php
(Radioinactive) For the people who know Deeper than hundreds-of-thousands of debt Your couch is now wet Here is the washcloth to wipe yourself dry Laundering money in Laundromats Here is detergent Bearded Arab surgeons Passing out cough drops Like asking a Sasquatch to taste your Gazpacho That's a nice watch bro Bought it from Costco God I like pasta God is a monster Monsters are modern Inventions forgotten Potatoes-au-gratin Cradle your thoughts in a stable of oxen Thick ankles for socks and I’ll strangle your Datsun with a Subaru Walkman
(Busdriver) Save the little boy genius From his self-employed zenith But at the time I'm having car trouble Do you have a monkey wrench Or some money to invest For my Mars shuttle?
