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.
God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife
It's worthless and mindless
To preach, I resist that
You're right
God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife
It's worthless and mindless
To preach, I resist that
I am
What you despise
I am just a disgrace you will never embrace
The strength will rise
Everything that I do burns against you
These words are just a speck
In what you call my life's wreck
Mistakes forsake
And every word will break
This is hard to believe, I am not what you see
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine and won't waste any time
Don't believe in what you want for me
God save us, el control
Has brought us el calor
De sangre y hambre
It's our turn, we will burn
I am
This life is mine
My intentions are real, this is my killing field
I will not shine
Our souls turn to rust, turn our bodies to dust
My life is just a trek
In what you call my last breath
Mistakes forsake
Then every word will break
This is hard to believe, I am not what you see
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine and won't waste any time
Don't believe in what you want for me
This is hard to believe
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine
Don't believe in what you want for me
God save our souls, yeah
God save our souls
God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife
Tu control, tu calor
It's our turn, we will burn
I am
What you despise
How can I be oppressed and then confess?
The strength will rise
Everything that I do burns against you
These words are just a speck
In what you call my life's wreck
Mistakes forsake
Then every word will
Break
God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife
Has brought us this new knife
It's worthless and mindless
To preach, I resist that
You're right
God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife
It's worthless and mindless
To preach, I resist that
I am
What you despise
I am just a disgrace you will never embrace
The strength will rise
Everything that I do burns against you
These words are just a speck
In what you call my life's wreck
Mistakes forsake
And every word will break
This is hard to believe, I am not what you see
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine and won't waste any time
Don't believe in what you want for me
God save us, el control
Has brought us el calor
De sangre y hambre
It's our turn, we will burn
I am
This life is mine
My intentions are real, this is my killing field
I will not shine
Our souls turn to rust, turn our bodies to dust
My life is just a trek
In what you call my last breath
Mistakes forsake

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
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."

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
