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”
This could be the day that we push through
It could be the day that all our dreams come true
For me and you
'Til we're at the end of just another day
Are you too terrified to try your best?
Just to end up with an educated guess
Like success
Like those times you wake up mystified
Oh it feels so real in my sleep
Never held something so close I couldn't keep
Into the day, the strangest feeling
Do you really live without the fear?
Everything is changing
And there's nothing I can do
My world is turning pages
While I am just sitting here
Well, am I getting closer?
Will I ever get there?
Does it even matter?
Do I really need it?
Wish that I'd remember
And I'm on the outcome
Push it out the window
On and on we all go
Into another morning
It was only yesterday
Didn't even know you
Now I'm gonna miss you
Nothing ever changes
No matter how long you do your hair
Looks the same to everyone else
Everything is changing
I guess I should warn my mum
But she'll just be excited
It could be the day that all our dreams come true
For me and you
'Til we're at the end of just another day
Are you too terrified to try your best?
Just to end up with an educated guess
Like success
Like those times you wake up mystified
Oh it feels so real in my sleep
Never held something so close I couldn't keep
Into the day, the strangest feeling
Do you really live without the fear?
Everything is changing
And there's nothing I can do
My world is turning pages
While I am just sitting here
Well, am I getting closer?
Will I ever get there?
Does it even matter?
Do I really need it?
Wish that I'd remember
And I'm on the outcome
Push it out the window
On and on we all go
Into another morning
It was only yesterday
Didn't even know you
Now I'm gonna miss you
Nothing ever changes
No matter how long you do your hair
Looks the same to everyone else
Everything is changing
I guess I should warn my mum
But she'll just be excited

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."

But I don´t understand to this
"But she´d just be excited" Wtf? The just is unlogical there, isn´t it?
He's feeling reluctant now that the change is coming, and he can't stop it. He's worked for it, waited for it, maybe pined for it. Now that it's coming he doesn't know what to do with it...
Fairly cool but till doesn't explain the 'just.'<br /> <br /> Kev seems to be referring to a woman with the 'no matter how long you do your hair.' He's obviously ripping into her by saying 'nothing ever changes' when referring to her.<br /> <br /> This is then juxtaposed with 'Everything is changing...' where he is more likely talking <br /> about his life (recent success etc) and also referring to his relationship with her degrading with the changing life (...not necessarily as a result of it...)<br /> <br /> 'Just' is being used as an adverb here (describing the verb which in this case is 'be' - 'But she'll just be excited)<br /> The specific meaning of just used in this text means you could replace 'just' with 'merely' or 'only.'<br /> Let's say in this verse perhaps Kev is speaking of the growing distance in between himself and the woman. By putting 'just/merely/only in front of excited he is inferring that the woman may have expected a different result - his mum could have reacted more ominously in light of his life changing or been sad about the relationship because she actually gave a shit about this woman but 'she'll just be excited'<br /> A less polite way of saying it could've been "Even my mum thinks you're a joke"<br /> <br /> So by putting 'just' in, not only is the audience is informed that the woman expected the mum to act differently but they are left unsure about exactly how she actually expected the mum to feel about the relationship breakdown. He's saying that she think she's special, without making any direct accusations. <br /> <br /> But that's just my interpretation, <br /> Hope it's not 'Un'logical <br />
it could be a reference to the writers more personal life. something we wouldnt get obviously.
