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”
A beautiful transformation
Not enough
Woe oh
Trackstar
Let's go
The older I get
The more I get feelings I can't explain
Can't explain
Mostly in the city of the 99% I did not say
I've suddenly evolved
From nothing at all
To somewhat ladylike
My clothes began to fit
And jeans they hug my hips
To catch the young boys eyes
Adolescent
I feel suppression
Many questions
Still I'm guessin'
The pressure's on
Fascination
It's that beautiful transformation
Like a butterfly
Changin' into my old skin
Where the tears I cry
Got a lighter side to it
It's a beautiful transformation
It's gettin' harder to reject
Opportunities
I meant to take it further now
I'm feelin' wonderful sensations
It's my body's revelation
It's another world
I've suddenly revised
I can't keep hold of what's inside anymore
It's never in the day
But always late at night
That these feelings occur
That these feelings occur
Adolescent
I feel suppression
Many questions
Still I'm guessin'
The pressure's on
Fascination
It's that beautiful transformation
Like a butterfly
Changin' into my old skin
Where the tears I cry
Got a lighter side to it
It's a beautiful transformation
Now I can shake my hips
With the confidence
Knowin' that I control what I got
Is priceless
Every little part that I have of me
Is precious
It's that beautiful transformation
Like a butterfly
Changin' into my old skin
Where the tears I cry
Got a lighter side to it
It's a beautiful transformation
Like a butterfly
Changin' into my old skin
Where the tears I cry
Got a lighter side to it
It's a beautiful transformation
I'm it
It's that beautiful transformation
Beautiful transformation
I'm it
It's that beautiful transformation
I'm in
Not enough
Woe oh
Trackstar
Let's go
The older I get
The more I get feelings I can't explain
Can't explain
Mostly in the city of the 99% I did not say
I've suddenly evolved
From nothing at all
To somewhat ladylike
My clothes began to fit
And jeans they hug my hips
To catch the young boys eyes
Adolescent
I feel suppression
Many questions
Still I'm guessin'
The pressure's on
Fascination
It's that beautiful transformation
Like a butterfly
Changin' into my old skin
Where the tears I cry
Got a lighter side to it
It's a beautiful transformation
It's gettin' harder to reject

I'm feelin' wonderful sensations
It's my body's revelation
It's another world

Where the tears I cry
Got a lighter side to it
It's a beautiful transformation
I'm it
It's that beautiful transformation
Beautiful transformation
I'm it
It's that beautiful transformation
I'm in

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
