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”
Woo
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it
I'm perfect
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it

That's right, it's the Superstar
Everybody wanna come up when I'm at the bar
All them people wanna try it's like gimme some more
Try a little harder honey I'm like gimme my car
Skip the bra, chill at the spas
Feminine boss, don't care what it cost
Get lost, we gettin' lots a rocks
While bitches Botox, I blow cocks
So hot, we just wreckin' the party
Autographin' everybody, body parts with a sharpie
Can't stop me baby got an army
Be all that you can be baby, call me
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it, I'm perfect
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it
I'm comin' straight out the N-Y-C
Every single little bad boy's wet dream featurin' me
Cream get the money, dollar dollar bill y'all
Kill y'all, got the ill jaw, ex's still call
You know I gotta do whatever it takes
All them other chicks it's like that's the breaks
And all them other chicks wanna take my place
And all them other chicks better get out my face
The look, the lips, the tits, the taste
The hair, the eyes, the skin, the waist
You see what I can do on this microphone
So this what I'm gonna do to you at home
Get goin' with the mastercard
Max it hard in the backs of cars
Faxin' lawyers, racks and racks at stores
I'm just about gettin' more, like
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it, I'm perfect
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it, I'm perfect
Hey I don't mean to brag but I'm makin' ladies mad
When they look at what I have, all the shit in my bag
Runnin' things like a track, no patience
Got you starvin' for me like a Hollywood actress
So attractive, wear my dresses backless
Flippin' lots of heavy words like a mattress
Make money during napses, leg hair waxes
Use hundred dollar bills
Got a million pairs of underwear
Millionaire times my strands of hair
It's all there, bull or bear, I don't know and I don't care
It ain't fair,
It's the Superstar, make 'em stop and stare, runnin' scared
Kiss my derriere, on my mirrored chair
(Yo, why you got a mirrored chair)
You can see my ass much better there, to kiss it, kiss it
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it, I'm perfect
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it, I'm perfect
One, two, three, four
Four, three, two, one
One, two, three, four
Four, three, I'm perfect
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it, I'm perfect

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
