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 took a walk for the very first time
On the dark side of the dance floor
Lit a match just to heat things up
But I got more than I bargained for
Mixed drinks mixed feelings of elation
I should have known it was a one night invitation
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now our time ran out
I took an oath but I'm giving it up
You didn't have to see things my way
Nothing more than a casual ****
Isn't that just how we operate?
Let's drink to feelings of temptation
You and I we're an overnight sensation
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
I walk around with your heart on my sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now our time ran out
Outside the brake light's started to dim
I feel the tension that's been pulling us in
And then we do it again so we can feel all right
Falling in love for the night
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now
Our time ran out our time ran out
Our time ran out our time ran out
Our time ran out
On the dark side of the dance floor
Lit a match just to heat things up
But I got more than I bargained for
Mixed drinks mixed feelings of elation
I should have known it was a one night invitation
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now our time ran out
I took an oath but I'm giving it up
You didn't have to see things my way
Nothing more than a casual ****
Isn't that just how we operate?
Let's drink to feelings of temptation
You and I we're an overnight sensation
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
I walk around with your heart on my sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now our time ran out
Outside the brake light's started to dim
I feel the tension that's been pulling us in
And then we do it again so we can feel all right
Falling in love for the night
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now
Our time ran out our time ran out
Our time ran out our time ran out
Our time ran out

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."
