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”
In the morning where does all the pain go
The same place the fame goes straight to your head
Ah, its not easy getting it out my head
It wasn't easy gettin' outta bed
So much shame on the workman who blames his tools
Then so the saying goes so its said
The way you tease me, tease me outta my head
Ah, its not easy forgettin' what you said
I know you used to be into me
Now you've got it in for me
In the morning where does all the pain go
The same place the fame goes straight to your head
It wasn't easy gettin' you outta my head
Ah, its to easy gettin' out my head
Given up trying to explain I'll just put it in a song instead
Ah, it's not easy gettin' outta bed
Ah, its too easy gettin' outta my head
I know where to find, where to find you my love
At the same old place by the river, the only way in is
through the window, through the window
The same place the fame goes straight to your head
Ah, its not easy getting it out my head
It wasn't easy gettin' outta bed
So much shame on the workman who blames his tools
Then so the saying goes so its said
The way you tease me, tease me outta my head
Ah, its not easy forgettin' what you said
I know you used to be into me
Now you've got it in for me
In the morning where does all the pain go
The same place the fame goes straight to your head
It wasn't easy gettin' you outta my head
Ah, its to easy gettin' out my head
Given up trying to explain I'll just put it in a song instead
Ah, it's not easy gettin' outta bed
Ah, its too easy gettin' outta my head
I know where to find, where to find you my love
At the same old place by the river, the only way in is
through the window, through the window

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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think this is going to be my favorite song from the new album. After hearing the acoustic demo version I didn't think I'd care for it as an electric song but I really like what they did with it. I love the overlap effect of the lyrics; I think it could have been gimmicky but they pulled it off beautifully and it makes the song even more special.
About the flat by the river verse... I remember reading an article with either Pete or Carl (maybe even both, I don't recall) at some point where they talked about the first apartment they shared together, and they mentioned that they had to use a window to enter the place. I'm not saying that definitely means the song is about Carl (people saying that every single Babyshambles song is about either him or Kate gets old fast...), but it could mean it's about someone Pete knew from that time. It could also mean nothing at all, but I think it sounds too similar to be a coincidence. It's interesting to connect little things in interviews and articles to their songs (or maybe I just have too much time on my hands :-P).
