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.
First time we met I was tripping balls
Jeffery shit when I touch these walls
Crawl in a cave when the day-time calls
Hibernate, animals
Next night out when I'm feeling great
Met this chick in an altered state
Heels as big empire state
She's a model, fuck that's great
Gave me a touch
Said what's up
I said fucking, nothing much
Ask me what I'm wearing
I said shhh, designer drugs
Lucy and the diamonds
Turn out, the lights are blinding
I'll spit this last line
And you can call me Scott Weiland
Burn slow
I can see you through the flames of your lighter
I can see you with the lights down low
I can feel it when I'm standing beside you
Got the feeling that you want to burn slow
I can see that you're always on the move
And I can see that your always on go
I can feel that your minds always running
Got the feeling that you wanna burn
Wanna burn slow
Hold it in, ghost toke
When our lips touch we both smoke
If the feeling is right we both know
If the hit's too big we both choke
Man I love this feeling
Got my head above the ceiling
Burn it slow 'cause we just chilling
Got nowhere to go but here
And I just love the way that you vibe
I'm on your level and I
I care not what they say and I'mma do whatever feels right
So I lose it, no control
Light me up and just watch me go
Don't confuse it, I get stupid
I get stoned, yeah I go ruthless
Burn it slow
I can see you through the flames of your lighter
I can see you with the lights down low
I can feel it when I'm standing beside you
Got the feeling that you want to burn slow
I can see that you're always on the move
And I can see that your always on go
I can feel that your minds always running
Got the feeling that you wanna burn
Wanna burn slow
I take my time cause I know that you wanna burn slow
I take my time cause I know that you wanna burn slow
Sit at home when I'm killing the pages
I do it cause I love it, got incredible wages
I wanna kick it like a horny devil in Vegas
I call up a couple ladies with the medical haze
Very super sick and ready to roll
Got the grinder out and shredded the dough
Now it's time to get kinetic, we headed
For vertical travel you like never before
Me and the woman we pumping in the garage
What I'm thinking, I'm thinking a Ménage
Loving the feeling, I got to end a massage
I gotta sit I'm thinking I'm having dinner with God
Super silver haze, taking me up
Super killer babes, shaking they butts
All the beauty steady making me puff
And the central making me lust
That's what I yearn for
Something so beautiful when we cipher, I'm not thinking about no germ so
My turn you all
What about some love and I'm concerned though
We learn though
Really make you make my worm grow
Adjourned
Then after we burn slow
I can see you through the flames of your lighter
I can see you with the lights down low
I can feel it when I'm standing beside you
Got the feeling that you want to burn slow
I can see that you're always on the move
And I can see that your always on go
I can feel that your minds always running
Got the feeling that you wanna burn
Wanna burn slow
I take my time cause I know that you wanna burn slow
I take my time cause I know that you wanna burn slow
Hold it in, ghost toke, ghost toke, ghost toke
I can see you through the flames of your lighter
Hold it in, ghost toke, ghost toke, ghost toke
Jeffery shit when I touch these walls

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."

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
