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”
Since it began I got one dream and it's really my only blessing
If I can come through than so can you
And you will find there's no regretting
Things you want from your life's font
Will never let your spirit roam
Come back to Earth for what it's worth
For you've been dreaming of a ceiling not a home
[Chorus]
I've been doing my best
What else can I do?
Is there something I've missed
That will help you through
I have reached the top of the wall
And all I've found is another way to fall
For some short time
For a while you and I were joined to eternity
Then we split in two back tome and you
Like the rain rising from the sea
Rising from the sea
We all can see what we shall be
But knowing's not really controlling
With time perhaps I will pass the traps and find some peace and understanding
After you'd come and while you're gone
You leave me guessing, it's depressing
Never to know the way to go to find some time along a little less pressing
So you just have to laugh
When it hurts so much
You're so far away and so hard to touch
I have reached the top of the wall
And all I've found is another way to fall
Since it began I got one dream and it's really my only blessing
If I can come through than so can you
And you will find there's no regretting
Things you want from your life's font
Will never let your spirit roam
Come back to Earth for what it's worth
For you've been dreaming of a ceiling not a home
[Chorus]
If I can come through than so can you
And you will find there's no regretting
Things you want from your life's font
Will never let your spirit roam
Come back to Earth for what it's worth
For you've been dreaming of a ceiling not a home
[Chorus]
I've been doing my best
What else can I do?
Is there something I've missed
That will help you through
I have reached the top of the wall
And all I've found is another way to fall
For some short time
For a while you and I were joined to eternity
Then we split in two back tome and you
Like the rain rising from the sea
Rising from the sea
We all can see what we shall be
But knowing's not really controlling
With time perhaps I will pass the traps and find some peace and understanding
After you'd come and while you're gone
You leave me guessing, it's depressing
Never to know the way to go to find some time along a little less pressing
So you just have to laugh
When it hurts so much
You're so far away and so hard to touch
I have reached the top of the wall
And all I've found is another way to fall
Since it began I got one dream and it's really my only blessing
If I can come through than so can you
And you will find there's no regretting
Things you want from your life's font
Will never let your spirit roam
Come back to Earth for what it's worth
For you've been dreaming of a ceiling not a home
[Chorus]

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'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Supposedly, Graeme wrote this about his divorce/breakup he was going thru. The song ROX!! All/most of the guys trade vocals on this one with 4 or 5 part harmonies on parts of it. Did I mention that it ROX?!?!
@Digi-G, supposedly he started an affair with his soon to be second wife while still married in retaliation for his first wife's affair with an actor, though it hasn't been confirmed.
The lyrics seem to refer to a partner who's preoccupied with career concerns, ambitions, or some such thing, and who is thus unavailable. The firs chorus also seems to suggest that this unavailable partner may be depressed because of these preoccupations. And they do seem to be a matter of career--dreaming of a ceiling, not a home.
