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.
My heart is yours to have
If I just had it with me
But I don't because I seem to have left it
With someone else.
I wish that I could say
What you deserve to hear
But I can't because I've already given my words
Away.
Cast away from me.
Cast away from me.
Cast your feelings aside.
Babe, I'm not worth the fight.
For your sake,
Cast away from me.
Listen here. I understand your place right now
You're like a bird in the air, you can't see the ground.
Looking for a little land to rest your hands on.
I'll be your safety even though you say you're fine.
Keeping track from below as I strain my eyes.
You gotta come down here and rest your wings.
(Come down, rest your wings)
Would you find it hard to realize
That I can't say that I'm okay without you?
My feelings are for certain and I know that
For your sake, you should stay with me.
We lay here side by side at night,
Wanting to feel,
But I don't. No, I won't. Because I've already felt
The pain.
(All I really want from you is a place to be)
You searched inside of me for a place to be
Even if it's nowhere near my heart.
Cast away from me.
(Would you find it hard to realize)
Cast away from me.
(That I can't say that I'm okay without you?)
Cast your feelings aside.
(My feelings are for certain)
Babe, I'm not worth the fight.
(and I know that)
For your sake,
Cast away from me.
(you should stay with me.)
Hey Avala,
There's no reason.
What's your beauty for?
You've been waiting
All of your life to be free.
Cast away from me.
Cast away from me.
Cast your feelings aside, babe, I'm not worth the fight.
For your sake,
For you.
If I just had it with me
But I don't because I seem to have left it
With someone else.
I wish that I could say
What you deserve to hear
But I can't because I've already given my words
Away.
Cast away from me.
Cast away from me.
Cast your feelings aside.
Babe, I'm not worth the fight.
For your sake,
Cast away from me.
Listen here. I understand your place right now
You're like a bird in the air, you can't see the ground.
Looking for a little land to rest your hands on.
I'll be your safety even though you say you're fine.
Keeping track from below as I strain my eyes.
You gotta come down here and rest your wings.
(Come down, rest your wings)
Would you find it hard to realize
That I can't say that I'm okay without you?
My feelings are for certain and I know that
For your sake, you should stay with me.
We lay here side by side at night,

But I don't. No, I won't. Because I've already felt
The pain.
(All I really want from you is a place to be)

Cast away from me.
Cast away from me.
Cast your feelings aside, babe, I'm not worth the fight.
For your sake,
For you.

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It's a duet so it's easier if you think about it that way. It's about a relationship where one person has moved on and doesn't feel the same way anymore whereas the other is still wanting the relationship to continue.
You can tell this because of the conflicting verses. One verse talks about "it was nowhere near my heart" but the next goes on to say "That I can't say that I'm okay without you." Also, at the end where they are singing together different lines, it shows how differently each person feels.
It's easier to tell all of this after watching the live performance. youtube.com/watch
