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.
Mona gave up taking pictures
She lost her left arm and married Carl.
In eight hours of sleep
And eight hours of work
And eight hours of leisure time of remedy
Three months of pregnancy...
It takes seven minutes to prepare the coffee
And four and a half to eat a slice of bread.
And she always dreamed of a white wedding
But she lost her left arm and married Carl.
She married Carl.
Sometimes she wears this fancy jacket
And her mother calls her twice a week.
And she so wishes sex with her white-clad dentist
But she's just colouring her horoscopes with needs.
With needs.
Shaving leg sundays, friday night tears
In a everyday make-up
All day long round the years.
Worn out smalltalks
In a racked up pain.
Pine away, Mona,
In your single-tracked train.
Mona stopped singing memorized melodies.
And she lost her faith in those credit card companies.
Sometimes she gives Carl head
It's better than just rest in bed.
She says.
She says.
It's a common way of life
Loosing one arm and becoming somebody's wife.
It's a common way of life
Loosing one arm and becoming somebody's wife
Between shaving leg sundays and friday night tears
All day long round the years.
But her secret pleasures
Are her monthly sended letters
To defenseless two-handed strangers.
Destiny seldom come painless.
One Hand Mona's resolutions -
Tiny bloody executions,
Little letter bomb explosions.
It's all in Mona's hand.
Rise and shine Mona!
Rise and shine on them all!
Let the world know who's really to blame for your amputating war.
Well the bird in Mona's hand is better than the duck which flies above.
So the thing in which Mona believes is not what we used to call love.
If she could she would make herself quite happy
But what a pity she lost her left arm and married Carl.
Rise and shine Mona!
Rise and shine on them all!
Let the world know who's really to blame for your amputating war.
And stop counting hours of agony
And stop suffering with dignity
Just send out fateful letters
And execute them all!
Them all.
Let the world know Mona
Who is really insecure.
Rise and shine Mona!
Rise and shine on them all!
Let the world know who's really to blame for your amputating war.
And stop counting hours of agony
And stop suffering with dignity
Just send our faithful letters
And execute them all!
Them all.
Be wary of your mailboxes, men!
Ticktock-ticking Mona might strike again.
She doesn't want to harm your wife
But you might have to start with one hand less
A brand new life.
She lost her left arm and married Carl.
In eight hours of sleep
And eight hours of work
And eight hours of leisure time of remedy
Three months of pregnancy...
It takes seven minutes to prepare the coffee
And four and a half to eat a slice of bread.
And she always dreamed of a white wedding
But she lost her left arm and married Carl.
She married Carl.
Sometimes she wears this fancy jacket
And her mother calls her twice a week.
And she so wishes sex with her white-clad dentist
But she's just colouring her horoscopes with needs.
With needs.
Shaving leg sundays, friday night tears
In a everyday make-up
All day long round the years.
Worn out smalltalks
In a racked up pain.

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."
