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.
Journey's leading to the flaming skies,
the dreams pass on and are crucified
Echoes crashing through my morbid mind,
while I pull this trigger, helping me to die
Driven down,
bound to the ground,
submitting to lifes every altered move
Torn apart,
slaughtered from the start,
blurred vision and bruises I can prove
When these scars get hit with the jagged knife,
every drop of blood is a loss of life
The sockets gouged, fighting to keep and bind,
my scorched memories, the ones that make me blind
Driven down,
bound to the ground,
submitting to lifes every altered move
Torn apart,
slaughtered from the start,
blurred vision and bruises I can prove
Rip out the rope,
tie up the noose,
the neckbone feels a change, becoming loose
Salt on the wounds,
infection every day,
I construct a path to a different way
This point of view crumbles under time,
a false transcript completes my hidden life
Gutted for my choices, it's in overdrive
another problem added to my list of crimes
the dreams pass on and are crucified
Echoes crashing through my morbid mind,
while I pull this trigger, helping me to die
Driven down,
bound to the ground,
submitting to lifes every altered move
Torn apart,
slaughtered from the start,
blurred vision and bruises I can prove
When these scars get hit with the jagged knife,
every drop of blood is a loss of life
The sockets gouged, fighting to keep and bind,
my scorched memories, the ones that make me blind
Driven down,
bound to the ground,
submitting to lifes every altered move
Torn apart,
slaughtered from the start,
blurred vision and bruises I can prove
Rip out the rope,
tie up the noose,
the neckbone feels a change, becoming loose
Salt on the wounds,
infection every day,
I construct a path to a different way
This point of view crumbles under time,
a false transcript completes my hidden life
Gutted for my choices, it's in overdrive
another problem added to my list of crimes

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."
