Like a healer
She comes to me
With solace for my spirit
Thoughts in cages
Locked in mazes
Hearing only echoes of yesterday

Met my demons and fightin' angels
7 times a million ties
Through phases and the ages
Consumed by the fire

Still
When the sun goes out
And the night is all a haze
Let the flood come down
And wash it all away
Baptized in black light
I feel your touch
And I'm whole again

I'm a criminal
Who surrendered
Found my truth in the consequence
Blind but guided
Divided
With a mind that's born again

When I needed
You entered
You entered
You entered
Fixing broken, broken pieces
Singing hallelujah

    I think that at a very dark time in his life, he had found a God (or something to worship) - therefore he is "Baptized In Blacklight'. The object of his worship has saved him "You entered fixing broken, broken pieces singing ..." I'm not too sure :P This is a great song though

Mountain Song
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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
