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”
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy evermore
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
Fix me now I wish you would (fix me now)
Bring me back to life (fix me now)
Kiss me blind somebody should (fix me now)
From hollow into light
Crashing silent broken down
Falling into night
Who gave up an who gave in
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time
Take away my doubt
Fix me now I wish you would (fix me now I wish you would) (fix me now)
Bring me back to life (fix me now)
Kiss me blind somebody should (kiss me blind somebody should) (fix me now)
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time one place one more
Fix me now I wish you would (Fix me now somebody should) (fix me now)
Bring me back to life (fix me now)
Kiss me blind somebody should (fix me now somebody should) (fix me now)
From hollow into
Fix me now I wish you would (fix me now somebody should) (fix me now)
Bring me back to life (fix me now)
Kiss me now somebody should (fix me now somebody should) (fix me now)
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy evermore
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
Fix me now I wish you would (fix me now)
Bring me back to life (fix me now)
Kiss me blind somebody should (fix me now)
From hollow into light
Crashing silent broken down
Falling into night
Who gave up an who gave in
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time
Take away my doubt
Fix me now I wish you would (fix me now I wish you would) (fix me now)
Bring me back to life (fix me now)
Kiss me blind somebody should (kiss me blind somebody should) (fix me now)
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time one place one more
Fix me now I wish you would (Fix me now somebody should) (fix me now)
Bring me back to life (fix me now)
Kiss me blind somebody should (fix me now somebody should) (fix me now)
From hollow into
Fix me now I wish you would (fix me now somebody should) (fix me now)
Bring me back to life (fix me now)
Kiss me now somebody should (fix me now somebody should) (fix me now)
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day

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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I can relate to this song, for such a long time I've been lost, dying inside.
@Stray I can relate
I don't think this is about a relationship at all. This song feels like when you've given up and need something to 'pick you off the floor' whether it's some stranger in a bar that you don't give a s*** about, or drugs. When you've done everything you can do but you just give up and all you can do is hope that something will come along to save you from completely empty feeling. I also think it's about that glorious moment when you find that temporary fix, whether it's drugs or a kiss. The instrumental part kinda expresses that much.
hmm i think its about creating a cycle of let downs, drugs or love not sure it matters. I'd say the point is you repeatedly put yourself in a position where you expect too much from people/drugs/the world and your problems just get worse and worse because you expect someone/something to save you from the things you cant or wont fix yourself in your life.
I think that's it at the heart its a song about wanting other people/things to make you not have to be responsible for your own life and the issues in it
This words are so good. I think it's about a girl who just wants someone to save her...kinda simple.
riiiight
Anyway, this is one of their best songs.
Someone who has been through so much shit and is in such a drak place in their life, and they want someone save them from themselves. Also, almost seems it could be about taking medication for depression. Kind of a quick fix.
first thing I thought was, a relationship problem, but that's only cause I'm going through that, it's a great song, I agree it's just someone in derpression who wants someone to free them from there pain.
It's tite
This song is about a sadistic love and it means she needs him to "fix her", meaning solve her problems with love.
