Don't you want me girl
Can't tell when you hide your face
Mm
Texting me things that
I know you would never say
But imma take that with a grain of salt
Still keep you close
You're used to playing games
I'm your token
In an instant
I got hit by all
These strays of yours
I shoulda looked both ways before crossing
Shoot Me down
Baby I didn't know
You were gunning for me
Still I race to answer your calls yea
Shoot me down
Baby I didn't know
You were coming for me
And I wonder what I did wrong
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me down shoot me down
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me down shoot me down
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me
Tracing my outline
Right here on this bedroom floor
Yea yea yea
Here's the scene of the crime
You shot me with your words of war
Still imma take that as a sign
Cool cat
Got nine lives
Maybe if I give it time
Give it patience
But I know that its a little risky
Yea it's just one of those games where
I shoulda looked both ways before playing
Shoot Me down
Baby I didn't know
You were gunning for me
Still I race to answer your calls yea
Shoot me down
Baby I didn't know
You were coming for me
And I wonder what I did wrong
Shoot Me down
Baby I didn't know
You were gunning for me
Still I race to answer your calls yea
Shoot me down
Baby I didn't know
You were coming for me
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me down shoot me down
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me down shoot me down
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me
Can't tell when you hide your face
Mm
Texting me things that
I know you would never say
But imma take that with a grain of salt
Still keep you close
You're used to playing games
I'm your token
In an instant
I got hit by all
These strays of yours
I shoulda looked both ways before crossing
Shoot Me down
Baby I didn't know
You were gunning for me
Still I race to answer your calls yea
Shoot me down
Baby I didn't know
You were coming for me
And I wonder what I did wrong
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me down shoot me down
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me down shoot me down
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Shoot me
Tracing my outline

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”
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."
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Prolly a quite obvious one, about the break-up between Genevieve McGuckin and him. They still lived together, and this was rather rough, and one night when she got home he'd written this. You can hear her talkin' 'bout it in the documentary Autoluminescent. (Which contains lots of precious interviews - although you can see the pain in the eyes of those who stood him close...)
