Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you've been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies, how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough, you take
And take and take, you never say
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye
You say that it's not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust you're breaking
You run but then back, you fall
Suffocate in the mess you're making
You can't get enough, you take
And take and take and take and take
Fuck it, are you listening?
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down
You push it back down
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
You push it back down
Push it back down
You push it back down, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Floating down, as colors fill the light
You look up from the ground in fields of paper white
And floating up, you pass us in the night
A future gazing out, a past to overwrite
So come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you've been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies, how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough, you take
And take and take, you never say
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye
You say that it's not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust you're breaking
You run but then back, you fall
Suffocate in the mess you're making
You can't get enough, you take
And take and take and take and take
Fuck it, are you listening?
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down
You push it back down
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
You push it back down
Push it back down
You push it back down, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Floating down, as colors fill the light
You look up from the ground in fields of paper white
And floating up, you pass us in the night
A future gazing out, a past to overwrite
So come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh

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."
