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”

You say that you got the answers
You heard them all on the telephone
And now you're telling everybody
A major coup in the business zone
We got new thoughts, new ideas it's all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
And now you think that you got a first in fashion
New uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
A new profit in the same old game
We got new thoughts, new ideas it's all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
And you think you can run and hide what you've done?
Don't you know no one cares after the first million?
Come on!
And now you think that you got a first in fashion
New uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
A new profit in the same old game
Come on! We got new thoughts, new ideas we're all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
So you think you can run & hide what you've done
don't you know no one cares after the first million
Come on!
It's a shame 'cause not everybody wants to look the same
And not everybody wants to think the same
And not everybody wants to act the same
And I say everybody don't wanna to be the same
You say that you got the answers
You heard them all on the telephone
And now you're telling everybody
A major coup in the business zone
We got new thoughts, new ideas it's all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
And now you think that you got a first in fashion
New uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
A new profit in the same old game
We got new thoughts, new ideas it's all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
And you think you can run and hide what you've done?
Don't you know no one cares after the first million?
Come on!
And now you think that you got a first in fashion
New uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
A new profit in the same old game
Come on! We got new thoughts, new ideas we're all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
So you think you can run & hide what you've done
don't you know no one cares after the first million
Come on!
It's a shame 'cause not everybody wants to look the same
And not everybody wants to think the same
And not everybody wants to act the same
And I say everybody don't wanna to be the same

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Everyone's done everything.
This song is The Saints calling out followers of the late 70's punk scene for all dressing, acting, and thinking the same instead of truly being individuals. Basically yelling "Poseur!"
The reference to uniforms could possibly be a dis on their contemporaries in Radio Birdman, who wore uniforms and insignia some considered Nazi-esque, but is more likely being used metaphorically to simply describe the fashions prevalent in the early punk scene.
