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.
I've seen the wise teach lies
Hell they helped me to bend
I'm jumping any false trend
With a devilish grin
So defend and meet fate on the shakiest grounds
And build mounds of sick sounds in the darkest of towns
Now get down or freak, let it lose in the streets
And beat beat the elite 'cause they're all just cheats
And I can't seem, to get this out of my head
Let's subtract and see this catastrophe
More shut down from the blasphemy
Or stomped down from the acts
And the world won't stop 'till they're trashing me
Let's subtract and see this catastrophe
More shut down from the blasphemy
Or stomped down from the acts
And the world won't stop 'till they're trashing me
Until then I will fade
Say what, say what, say what
Fade
You will never break me
Fade
Say what, say what, say what
Fade
Away, away, away
I've seen the wise teach lies
and set them in heads
Scattered, shattered like the glass thats imbedded instead
Go pretend to make life circle, circle me still
The falling stars from the skies rolling over the hills
And spill spill like they feel like they're more than they seem
These broken ties and these lies that they are telling me
And I can't seem to get this out of my head
Please get this out of my head
Let's subtract and see this catastrophe
More shut down from the blasphemy
Or stomped down from the acts
And the world won't stop 'till they're trashing me
Let's subtract and see this catastrophe
More shut down from the blasphemy
Or stomped down from the acts
And the world won't stop 'till they're trashing me
Until then I will fade
Say what, say what, say what
Fade
You will never break me
Fade
Say what, say what, say what
Fade
Away, away, away, away
Tired of all this selfless aggravation
Mind entranced, constant stimulation
Bold behold the eyes of a stallion
Fade into this promise of Babylon
Seen the things I wish I had never seen
Waking up in sweat from a bad dream
Feel the walls slowly closing in on me
Fade to black or to the next destiny, destiny, destiny
Until then I will fade
Say what, say what, say what
Fade
You will never break me
Fade
Say what, say what, say what
Fade
Until then I will fade
Say what, say what, say what
Fade
You will never break me
Fade
Say what, say what, say what
Fade
You will never break me
Fade
Fade
You will never break me
Fade
Fade
Fade
You will never make me
Fade
Hell they helped me to bend
I'm jumping any false trend
With a devilish grin
So defend and meet fate on the shakiest grounds
And build mounds of sick sounds in the darkest of towns
Now get down or freak, let it lose in the streets
And beat beat the elite 'cause they're all just cheats
And I can't seem, to get this out of my head

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."
