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.
We love our enemies as our friends,
InI will forgive them, but I don't forget.
We love our enemies as our friends,
But InI will never turn my back on them.
Forgive them, but I don't forget.
Children of the Most High God
Children of the Earth and this fullness thereof
Let us not do as them wicked have done
For InI will feel retribution
What a man giveth, is what a man receiveth
And what a man receive for his giving is more breath
And the wages of sin is death
And fighting only destroys love, and I am not impressed
We love our enemies as our friends,
InI will forgive them, but I don't forget
We love our enemies as our friends,
See InI will never turn my back on them
Forgive them, but I don't forget
War is the same every time,
Both sides claim to be divine
When both sides from the same design
We are one creation from the mastermind
Corruption and sin present on both sides
And both sides claim they have the birth right
Newspaper show the pictures, and you look the same to me
And I know that's what Almighty Rastafari see
We love our enemies as our friends,
InI will forgive them, but I don't forget
We love our enemies as our friends,
InI will never turn my back on them
Forgive them, but I don't forget
Enemies will be there to hem InI up and get in my hair
Never mind iniquity cause them so unfair
What's going is coming and we see that clear
Do you want to be just like them,
Blend with hooligan and mix with evil men
When they strike, you strike back, again and again
And soon, you gonna be just like them
We love our enemies as our friends,
InI will forgive them, but I don't forget
We love our enemies as our friends,
InI will never turn my back on them
Forgive them, but I don't forget
Never forget, never forget
InI will forgive them, but I don't forget.
We love our enemies as our friends,
But InI will never turn my back on them.
Forgive them, but I don't forget.
Children of the Most High God
Children of the Earth and this fullness thereof
Let us not do as them wicked have done
For InI will feel retribution
What a man giveth, is what a man receiveth
And what a man receive for his giving is more breath
And the wages of sin is death
And fighting only destroys love, and I am not impressed
We love our enemies as our friends,
InI will forgive them, but I don't forget
We love our enemies as our friends,
See InI will never turn my back on them
Forgive them, but I don't forget
War is the same every time,
Both sides claim to be divine
When both sides from the same design
We are one creation from the mastermind
Corruption and sin present on both sides
And both sides claim they have the birth right
Newspaper show the pictures, and you look the same to me
And I know that's what Almighty Rastafari see
We love our enemies as our friends,

We love our enemies as our friends,

We love our enemies as our friends,
InI will never turn my back on them
Forgive them, but I don't forget
Never forget, never forget

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."
