its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You say your life's run out,
Taken all it can take,
We will fashion you a place that will spoon feed it,
right back to you.
Hell was getting way too close,
so we ran away ran away.
We needed to find a place to go,
and we did,
oh we did.
When you're lucky to be alive
Hell's not the palce you want
to spend your time in.
You'd better run away and hide,
'cos this old place is making Hell look friendly.
we didn't come here no
we didn't plan to,
We ended up here.
Now we're the crew on a ship thats sailing,
Somewhere,
Nowhere.
I'd say you've outrun life
It would have a job catching up.
We will offer you this place
and we will put our eyes
right into you.
He asked us whats the
point in going back to then, when
all you're doing is getting hurt.
He followed
stick around and sing,
stick around and sing with me.
"lalalalala"
When you're lucky to be alive
Hells not the palce you want
to spend your time in.
You'd better run away and hide,
'costhis old place is making Hell look friendly.
we didn't come here no,
we didn't plan to,
We ended up here.
Now we're the crew on a ship thats sailing,
Somewhere,
Nowhere.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
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."
isn't it Friends? We're more like a gang i love these guys
