He certainly did earn that reputation.
Now, diamonds are falling
Through a new wound in the sky
Obsessions, pink children
They are laid out in a line
They are screaming, they are polluting
They are demanding their life
These wrong feelings, they are calling
The red leper of time
I love you (I love you)
I need you (I need you)
Oh, show me (Oh, show me)
How to shine (How to shine)
I love you (I love you)
Young flower (Young flower)
Now give me (Now give me)
What is mine (What is mine)
Through a new wound in the sky
Obsessions, pink children
They are laid out in a line
They are screaming, they are polluting
They are demanding their life
These wrong feelings, they are calling
The red leper of time
I love you (I love you)
I need you (I need you)
Oh, show me (Oh, show me)
How to shine (How to shine)
I love you (I love you)
Young flower (Young flower)
Now give me (Now give me)
What is mine (What is mine)

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

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."

Q: I wanted to ask a couple things about the last Swans record. I read in an interview that you said the song "You Fucking People Make Me Sick" was written from the perspective of a murderer or a rapist. How often do you write from fictional points of view and why?<br /> <br /> MG: Well, I think that might be an oversimplification. I wrote the song when I was just surfing the net as people tend to do these days, looking at music sites, and a side of me was looking at these fashionable hipster young people and I just kind of wanted to murder them or kill them. [Laughs] So I started writing the song from the point of view of someone thinking about that, but it's not to say that I want to do that. This persona emerged and then those words came out, and then I had Devendra sing it because it seemed better for him. Considering the way the song was written, the tone, the register of the vocals seemed better for him. I thought I would remove it from being me, Michael Gira, singing it and make it more of a song in and of itself. So, that's how it evolved.
