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”
Tell me a lie tell me a story tell me anything dont you worry.
Tell me about the booze and the Bowery, and all about the drugs in the morning.
Ive seen your face before, tho i didnt recognize til you walked out the door.
Ive seen that face before, now i'll always wonder why, you dont know me anymore.
We'll take the car down the highways, we wont be fooled by the bads days,
And all the money we took from the last one, clean your bloody nose in the bathroom.
Tell me about the booze and the Bowery, and all about the drugs in the morning.
Ive seen your face before, tho i didnt recognize til you walked out the door.
Ive seen that face before, now i'll always wonder why, you dont know me anymore.
We'll take the car down the highways, we wont be fooled by the bads days,
And all the money we took from the last one, clean your bloody nose in the bathroom.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song is beautiful. :)
Great is the song. I think it's talking about 2 persons that met, one is injured the other want to help him.
Actually I think this song is about two people. They glance at each other, the recognized who one another is while they are leaving. I'm guessing they were friends, (I think this because it's happened to me before) best friends who got in a fight for some reason, moved on, and completely forgot about each other. But in that split moment the singer reminisced on everything. I guess the best memory was taking a car perhaps stolen, haha, getting in a fight and taking someone's money. You know how kids are. Kinda reminds me of like...The Outsiders, the greaser. But all grown up, seeing a friend. And wondering what the hell ever happened.
I first heard this song through the FIDLAR cover. When listening to the FIDLAR cover my first impression was bloody nose was referencing someone who get's a bloody nose from snorting too much cocaine. I just thought he was speaking of a woman and when he states "i've seen your face before, though i didn't recognize", that he was just so used to seeing her on drugs/faking her personality, that when she left she might've a revealed a bit more what she was really like, and in turn he "didn't recognize" her.
When I first heard it I got the vibe he was talking to himself. I can totally see it being about him and a girl who he had a falling out with though, either way I think the who isn't the real beauty of the song. It's the anthem of how people change not only from drugs but just life (breakups, being broke, ect.) I could be wrong.
