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”
I come form the West Coast small town south side
Born in OC grew up in 805
Flew the nest and ended up in LA
Still a villain' still chillin' still smokin' on the challis
They're like dogs in this place
Other people pissin' on other people's real estate
It's hard to live here
People are aggressive so people live in fear
With a lock you protect your block pop, pop goes the gloc
Cause everybody else always wants what you got
So stay on top of your game and try to retain
Your own domain
It ain't easy holdin' down the throne
But California is where we call home
Hell yeah we live like kings fuck bling bling
Take a look at all these beautiful things
Every single day the sunshine state
Every single meal avocado on my plate
Every single girl got a beautiful face
Hell yeah I love this place
Kali kings on the beach we sing
Ain't really trippin' on a thing
Can't really be worried
About what tomorrow brings
Kali kings on the beach we sing
Ain't really trippin' on a thing
Can't really be worried
About what tomorrow brings
I come from the coast with the most
A host for parasites up close in tight long summer nights
I ain't talkin' shit I ain't braggin'
My pants are still saggin' and I'm still taggin'
Grew up on the beach so that's where I got slurs in my speech
I got stitches from skatin' ditches
We call 'em hynas not bitches
I'm devout to chillin' out
This lifestyle here is what I'm all about
No matter how we figure it out
Just keepin' real y'all no doubt
Life style so simplistic all y'all must of missed it
Don't understand how we get on the pimp shit
Live it every single day
It's just another sunny day in LA
Come on Cali
Every single day the sunshine state
Every single meal avocado on my plate
Every single girl got a beautiful face
Hell yeah I love this place
Kali kings on the beach we sing
Ain't really trippin' on a thing
Can't really be worried
About what tomorrow brings
Kali kings on the beach we sing
Ain't really trippin' on a thing
Can't really be worried
About what tomorrow brings
Cali love is what I go t
Whether I'm here or whether I'm not
It's the good times sunshine on my mind al the time
Friends like these are hard to find
We're just some cats with some tats
Still misunderstood
Still hangin' out in the neighborhood
It's all good we're just doin' our thing
Kickin' back with Johnny Richter and the Kottonmouth Kings
Now there's a new face gracin' this fat ass track
Swingin' harder than a motherfuckin' baseball bat
I'm comin' strong repin' Cali all day long
See we the kings of California home to bongs and thongs
Now from the 310 to the 714
So many people down to clown when it's time to get raw
Don't try to test the waters we like hungry piranhas
We'll leave you in a state of trauma
Cryin' screamin' for your momma
It's time to stand tall and take a look all around
Remember where you're from I'm from P town
Time to go and chase your childhood dreams
Time to learn to fly so go and spread your wings
Open up your eyes take off your shades and see
You got to aim high you gotta believe
Do what you want be what you want to be
Dreams do come true just take a look at me and see
Kali kings on the beach we sing
Ain't really trippin' on a thing
Can't really be worried
About what tomorrow brings
Kali kings on the beach we sing
Ain't really trippin' on a thing
Can't really be worried
About what tomorrow brings
Born in OC grew up in 805

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
