This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
give it up because this questions loaded
it will wait for you in this maze of cars swal
low you whole it consumes you, like a whale
it's not letting go
forever forever forever
keep me I'm not useless I am loud
take me with you I will be good I will be heard
don't sit waiting for your family to come home
they're not coming back
you are not what you once set out to be
you will find yourself in this maze of bars and
render you helpless to your own offense
it's not letting go
forever forever forever
keep me I'm not useless I am loud
take me with you I will be good I will be heard
don't sit waiting for your family to come home
they're not coming back
keep me I am useless I'm not loud
take me with you I will be good I will be heard
don't sit waiting for your family to come home
you're not coming back
it will wait for you in this maze of cars swal
low you whole it consumes you, like a whale
it's not letting go
forever forever forever
keep me I'm not useless I am loud
take me with you I will be good I will be heard
don't sit waiting for your family to come home
they're not coming back
you are not what you once set out to be
you will find yourself in this maze of bars and
render you helpless to your own offense
it's not letting go
forever forever forever
keep me I'm not useless I am loud
take me with you I will be good I will be heard
don't sit waiting for your family to come home
they're not coming back
keep me I am useless I'm not loud
take me with you I will be good I will be heard
don't sit waiting for your family to come home
you're not coming back

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."
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
the writer apparently wants to be a part of someones life...."take me with you I will be good I will be heard" they stress the fact that they are loud and will be heard, as though intimating they have something important to say. They are trying to get through to somebody...almost warning them..."like a whale it's not letting go" and "you will find yourself in this maze of bars" etc. Life is not turning out exactly as expected and the writer is throwing out a life line trying to draw the person they are talking to in...trying to merge their lives.
ok...taking a second look here:
"Give it up b/c this questions loaded".....It seems there is too much to comprehend. A problem or dilemma w/ no clear answers....described as a maze or a whale that won't let go...forever.
The repeated line, "Don't sit, waiting for your family to come home, they're not coming back" makes me want to cry. It seems a very sad lament.
The repeated "Keep me, I'm not useless, I am loud" etc. seems to be a cry of despair....the singer feels he/she is being/ has been cast off by someone or something...
This song seems very sad. The singer seems to feel lost and alone or cast off. All the words make me want to cry but it depends on how it is sung also.
I feel this song screams that the singer's persona was a child that lost his family in a terrible car accident, like a 10 car pile up or something (thus the maze of cars).
He questions "why?", "why? has this happened to me!" A loaded question for sure because it can never be answered no matter what.
The boy finally gets put in a foster home possibly with abusive people and is abused throughout his life trying to prove to them he's worthy, he's good, finally succumbing to his own sadness and loss of true family and winds up hitting the bars and never recovering with what the last line says in the second verse: "it's" not letting go, the situation and circumstances, the life of this guys isn't letting go, and he's drowning in it.
This song is about traffic safety and not talking on your cellphone when you drive.
as the author, I will say that the above interpretation is the best one I've ever heard.
wow...this is really deep.
I think this one is my favorite...at least lyric-wise
