[The Dreamer:]
Misty morning
Unveils my despair
Exposed in an open bed
Unknowing of what I will do
Unwilling too
Memories, they inhabit me
Persisting pain every day
I'm waiting for the storm to come
Will I dare to go?

Just one last attempt
To seal me away
To be gazed upon nevermore
But then
Light suddenly fills the room
A calling out for me

Light
Shivering right through me
A piece that died
Just came back to me now
Speak
The voice I want to hear
Is there a chance to reunite?

I won't let go
If I hold your hand
One more time
I won't let go
Even for one night
When shadows call
I will know you're still around

Questions arise
Is there a way to find you?
So where do I begin?
Is this even real?
My living state
Might be the hindering reason
Do I dare to give in?
I won't return

What if I'm wrong?
What if you're unreal?
I can't risk to end it all
There are ways to be found

Light
Shivering right through me
A piece that died
Just came back to me now
Speak
The voice I want to hear
Is there a chance to reunite?

I won't let go
If I hold your hand
One more time
I won't let go
Even for one night
When shadows call for me

[The Rose:]
You will find
A path leading here
Our place to unite
A remedy to our pain
Just you and me
And nothing else
Immortal divinity
Is the title of our story
So now, take my hand
Find me

[The Dreamer:]
Do speak to me
I need some guidance
Though I will find you soon

Light
Shivering right through me
A piece that died
Just came back to me now
Speak
The voice I want to hear
I know that we can reunite

I won't let go
If I hold your hand
One more time
I won't let go
Even for one night
I won't let go
Once I find you alive
I won't let go
Of you I adore
When shadows call for me

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”

Mountain Song
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."
