This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Of part and parcel
So, well, we're already dead
Well, it's probably been said
That it's always been said
That
One wing isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
To leave
One wing isn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
To leave
I'm gonna shake myself right out the door
I'm gonna take myself when it's finally over
I'm gonna let my own bad self take over
I'm gonna move my arm out with my shoulder
And
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
To leave
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
To leave
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
To leave
First off, Gary was on trial, and drunk before we left bed
As things got better, was it hard to say that he had no idea?
Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around
So, we all just opened up our mouths and walked to this town
Well, I was walking just a little bit sideways, and you were walking sideways too
Well, I hadn't learned when a front door can be used
Here it goes now
We had darkened doors, so we didn't read what the sign read
Though simple enough, it was to me really tough; the ground needs to be fed
Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed that they didn't really want us around
So, not a single one of us will ever leave town
Here we go, sir
Our bodies were laid out
They were laid for fifteen yards
Well, two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar
Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around
So, every single one of us hit the ground
Here we go now
One wing wasn't even, uh
One wing wasn't even enough
Oh, pardon, pardon
So, well, it's already been said
That it's always been said that
We're already dead
So, well, we're already dead
Well, it's probably been said
That it's always been said
That
One wing isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
To leave
One wing isn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
To leave
I'm gonna shake myself right out the door
I'm gonna take myself when it's finally over
I'm gonna let my own bad self take over
I'm gonna move my arm out with my shoulder
And
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
To leave
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
To leave
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough

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 still think its of part and parcel, because A. I hear it and B. thats a common saying and C of parting parcel its probably been said is awkward phrasing. Thats my take
