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.
Feelings, hit you like a barrier
You'll never cry the same
And, you're stealing anything that you can find
Something to stop your pain
Well I am two steps shy from falling apart
You've got nothing left to lose
So you shed your skin, just to lighten the load
Made it strip itself from you
You checked out too soon
I'm afraid you've made your mind up
You played the fool
But the jokes on you
Tear your heart out
and start all over again
you start all over
Just wear you heart out
like a tattoo on your sleeve
Wake up,
You know whats going down
You feel it in your blood
You better shape up
No ones gonna bring you round
You jumped into this blood
Well you got one more night to take it all in
So it went from bad to worse
and don't it hit so hard, they get under your skin
Till the scratching starts to hurt
Tear your heart out
and start all over again
you start all over
Just wear you heart out
like a tattoo on your sleeve
Feelings, hit you like a barrier
You'll never cry the same
And, you're stealing anything that you can find
to stop your pain
Well I am two steps shy from falling apart
You've got nothing left to lose
So you shed your skin, just to lighten the load
Made it strip itself from you
Tear your heart out
and start all over again
you start all over
Just wear you heart out
like a tattoo on your sleeve
Tear your heart out
and start all over again
you start all over
Just wear you heart out
like a tattoo on your sleeve
Hey, Hey, Heyyyyy
You'll never cry the same
And, you're stealing anything that you can find
Something to stop your pain
Well I am two steps shy from falling apart
You've got nothing left to lose
So you shed your skin, just to lighten the load
Made it strip itself from you
You checked out too soon
I'm afraid you've made your mind up
You played the fool
But the jokes on you
Tear your heart out
and start all over again
you start all over
Just wear you heart out
like a tattoo on your sleeve
Wake up,
You know whats going down
You feel it in your blood
You better shape up
No ones gonna bring you round
You jumped into this blood
Well you got one more night to take it all in
So it went from bad to worse
and don't it hit so hard, they get under your skin
Till the scratching starts to hurt
Tear your heart out
and start all over again
you start all over
Just wear you heart out
like a tattoo on your sleeve
Feelings, hit you like a barrier
You'll never cry the same
And, you're stealing anything that you can find
to stop your pain
Well I am two steps shy from falling apart
You've got nothing left to lose
So you shed your skin, just to lighten the load
Made it strip itself from you
Tear your heart out
and start all over again
you start all over
Just wear you heart out
like a tattoo on your sleeve
Tear your heart out
and start all over again
you start all over
Just wear you heart out
like a tattoo on your sleeve
Hey, Hey, Heyyyyy

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Feelings, hit you like a barrier Your never quite the same And, you're stealing anything that you can find Something to stop your pain Well I am two steps shy from falling apart You've got nothing left to lose So you shed your skin, just to lighten the load Made it strip itself from you You checked out too soon I'm afraid you've made your mind up You played the fool But the jokes on you
Tear your heart out and start over again you start over Just wear you heart out like a tattoo on your sleeve
Wake up, You know whats going down You feel it in your blood You better shape up No ones gonna bring you round You jumped into this flood
Well you got one more night to take it all in So it went from bad to worse and don't it hit so hard, they get under your skin Till the scratching starts to hurt
Tear your heart out and start over again you start over Just wear you heart out like a tattoo on your sleeve
