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”

And you write
And you write
And you write
And you write
And you write
And you write
And you write
And you write
And you write
I'm Joe Piscopo
I'm an original
But the kids don't know
I was spitting flows before flip phones
Back when it wasn't cool to rap about sniffing coke
And you right
It might be a shit show
But you ain't fuckin with this, bro
Your WiFi got no signal
Fifi sucking on my biggest toe
And now I'm all up
On her money in the middle
And I don't even have to disrobe
I keep my boxers on
And use the dick hole
Roll the window down
And feel the wind blow
Mama in the back of the Honda
Getting hot as a disco
I'm sicker than a goldfish
Swimming in a fishbowl full of Crisco
Yo, it's officially official
You better get your tickets if we hitting your zip code
[hook]
I'm Selma Hayek
On the Mississippi River
In a stolen kayak
Live fast like my life's in a time lapse
I'm so fly
I'm attracted to fly traps
Get your mind out the trash
Or at least you should line it with a bag
Tie it up to keep the lye bacteria gagged
To a minimal stack, it's a fixable flat
A sideline will get you sidetracked
Put it up if you feel like a blind rat
Just trying to climb out of a wine glass
We under attack
But not allowed to fight back, right?
You not about to fight back, right?
We might strike combat if it's time for that
After I take my IQ test
On this iPad app
In the eye rock on the way to the IHOP
With your high ass
[hook]
I'm Herbie Hancock
I rock it
I'm not a prophet
I'm not not for profit, nah
I don't stop, I'm the opposite
I'm on my Spock shit
Trying to live long and prosperous
Excuse me for trying to be modest
But ooey, I feel kinda marvelous
It's obvious that these socks fit
So I'ma stomp around the block
Like the goddamn apocalypse
Preceded by a stampede
Of fire-breathing rhinoceroses
The promise of awesomeness
Not a problem
It's not a conflict
Party on the rock bottom
In a lake of toxins
And if you ain't starving
Then change the topic
Ain't nothing left to say about it
You eating dirt
'Cause you like it
And dirt from the graveyard
You put gravy on it

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
