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.
I?m a lone wolf in a cage
Lost my partner to a lie
Like a bird with broken wings, yeah
It?s impossible to fly
I tried to live for two
But only trust in one
Is there nothing that we can do?
Are we truly done?
Every day we do or die
As we?re sailin? across the sky
Now we?re comin? home
On these blades of glory
Settin? fire to the ice
Is the dream that keeps us alive
Now we?re comin? home
On these blades of glory
Could this be the end
of our mythic story?
I don?t know what to say
I don?t know where to turn
All I know is if I stay
Ooh this ice it sure can burn
A man who?s scared of truth
Can only trust in lies
A boy who?s scared to dream
Can never touch the sky, oh yeah
Every day we do or die
As we?re sailin? across the sky
Now we?re comin? home
On these blades of glory
Settin? fire to the ice
Is the dream that keeps us alive
Now we?re comin? home
On these blades of glory
Today is the first chapter
Of our mythic story
We?ll never part
On these blades of glory
And we?ll cross our hearts
On these blades of glory
What do you say
Tonight we celebrate
By going out our way, yeah
O-oo-oh, let?s go all the way, yeah
It?s our calling
Every day we do or die
As we?re sailin? across the sky
Now we?re comin? home
On these blades of glory
Settin? fire to the ice
Is the dream that keeps us alive
Now we?re comin? home
On these blades of glory
Blades of glory
We?ll go all night
?Til we finish the story
Now we?re comin? home
On these blades of glory
The dream is alive
And we?ll never be sorry
Now we?re comin? home
On these blades of glory
(Repeat to end)

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."
