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”
Again and again, sing this song that we live,
It's all we have to go off of.
This is a nightmare come to life,
This is something you'll regret at times,
When you see there's an end tonight.
Just think about this now, as we come to an end:
The decisions you have made will come back to haunt you.
And as the story ends and you look to the sky,
This couldn't have happened by chance.
And here's your escape as He calls out your name.
You fall to your knees and answer His call.
Lord, I will be anything for you.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, saved by grace.
Hallelujah, I've been saved by grace,
Hallelujah, saved by grace.
And this is why I've been saved by His grace.
Just think about this now, as we come to an end:
The decisions you have made will come back to haunt you.
And as the story ends and you look to the sky,
This couldn't have happened by chance.
It's all we have to go off of.
This is a nightmare come to life,
This is something you'll regret at times,
When you see there's an end tonight.
Just think about this now, as we come to an end:
The decisions you have made will come back to haunt you.
And as the story ends and you look to the sky,
This couldn't have happened by chance.
And here's your escape as He calls out your name.
You fall to your knees and answer His call.
Lord, I will be anything for you.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, saved by grace.
Hallelujah, I've been saved by grace,
Hallelujah, saved by grace.
And this is why I've been saved by His grace.
Just think about this now, as we come to an end:
The decisions you have made will come back to haunt you.
And as the story ends and you look to the sky,
This couldn't have happened by chance.

@[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."

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.

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.
This song is truely the most spiritual song on the cd.
"The decisions you have made will come back to haunt you. And as the story ends and you look to the sky, This couldn't have happened by chance." -is talking about the end of the world, end times, tribulation, the judgement whatever you want to call it. is when God, as judge, will judge all your faults. and all the decisions that you have made will come to haunt you.... exception of the ones who have been saved by grace.
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, saved by grace. Hallelujah, I've been saved by grace, Hallelujah, saved by grace. And this is why I've been saved by His grace." -praising god that he is saved (this gave me goose bumps the first 10 times i listened)
"And here's your escape as He calls out your name. You fall to your knees and answer His call" -Saying that God is calling for you to except him... being saved by grace
FREAKIN LOVE THIS SONG.
This most likely isn't the meaning of the song, but it sounds like Donnie Darko a bit if you think about it.
i actually agree with DUDEJUSTLISTEN. that actually does line up. <br /> Ashur... not so much
I agree with DUDEJUSTLISTEN. But the title comes from his childhood. His grandparents made catfish soup for him. But this song is probably my favorite one by these guys.
I agree with DUDEJUSTLISTEN all the way. Attack Attack is such a freakin' awesome band and I absolutely love them~ 8D this was the first song I heard from them and I thought it was amazing <3
Ashur, your so ignorant its disgusting. DudeJustListen, your just about right.
love love love this song.
Love the song. o and i agree with DUDEJUSTLISTEN and u must be ignorant of christianity to not see that. (i shake my head in disappointment). I do find it kind of ironic tho that the part after the Hallelujah, hallelujah saved by grace X2 is done in screaming vocals... i dont think thats 'wat Jesus would have done' to get his messages across lol
Whos to say he wouldnt want someone spreading there joy in one of the most passionate ways possible through song, IMO. It's the message inside the envelope the matters.
I like what boothx said about how attack attack has Christian lyrics but one of their genres is screamo.
Why the hell has no one commented this song? This is probably the best fucking song on this album and no one came to comment. What a fucking shame. This song so so powerful and I'm pretty sure this song is the only one in existence that has Hallelujah screamed. Praise Attack Attack!
Yeah, Attack Attack! uses christian lyrics but none of the band members are christian.
<3 Attack Attack!
