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”
I can't shake this feeling from my head
There's a devil sleeping in my bed
Watching you from across the way
I cannot make this feeling go away
I know it's not the right thing
And I know it's not the good thing
But kinda I want to
But kinda I want to
I'm not sure of what I should do
When every thought I'm thinking of is you
All of my excuses turn to lies
Maybe god will cover up his eyes
I know it's not the right thing
And I know it's not the good thing
But kinda I want to, but kinda I want to
But kinda I want to
But kinda I want to
But kinda I want to
Maybe just for tonight
We can pretend it's alright
What's the price I pay
I don't care what they say
I want to
I want to (I'll take my chance tonight)
I want to
I want to
I want to
I want to
I want to
I want to
There's a devil sleeping in my bed
Watching you from across the way
I cannot make this feeling go away
I know it's not the right thing
And I know it's not the good thing
But kinda I want to
But kinda I want to
I'm not sure of what I should do
When every thought I'm thinking of is you
All of my excuses turn to lies
Maybe god will cover up his eyes
I know it's not the right thing
And I know it's not the good thing
But kinda I want to, but kinda I want to
But kinda I want to
But kinda I want to
But kinda I want to
Maybe just for tonight
We can pretend it's alright
What's the price I pay
I don't care what they say
I want to
I want to (I'll take my chance tonight)
I want to
I want to
I want to
I want to
I want to
I want to

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song is about a short lived addiction to crack cocaine suffered by Trent Reznor. He is singing about his crackpipe on the other side of the room. (I got this from an interview I don't make this shit up)
"Sanctified" is the song that Trent said was about cocaine. "Kinda I Want To" is about someone strugging with homosexual desire.
i wonder who the lucky guy is.
trent reznors bi? ther goes another cool person added to my cool homos list along with freddie mercury and rob halford
trent reznors bi? lol thats awesome... courtney love is always claiming hes a homophobic bastard... LMAO shes such a fucking whore.
Is he seriously bi? Was he ever? If he was, is that stage in his life over?
***If he is bi, that would explain the "Sin" video a bit.
Sure, get both.
You know, Trent actually doesn't like this song, which is why he won't play it live... I think it fucking rocks, a live version would be nice.
As far as the meaning, I think it's about temptation. He's trying to resist, but as implied by the title, he wants to indulge his temptation.
Really? Hmm, I heard this song was about trent being bi-curious. Yes, folks, for those who don't know trent swings on both sides of the fence if ya know what I mean. Watch, some people still won't believe it. "But he's married!"
LOL Married!? Yeah right... I completely agree with you by the way. And not that there's anything wrong with that (Seinfeld voice.)
Helixi- Trent's not married. He's never been married. He was supposed to be featured on VH1's "Most Eligible Bachelors" show earlier this year, but something was fucked with his publicist.
