This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Since your mother cast her spell
Every kiss has left a bruise
You've been raiding too much meaning from existence
Now your head is used and sore
And the forecast is for more
Memories falling, like falling rain
Falling rain
Every view they hold on you is
A piano, out of tune
You're an angel
You're a demon
You're just human
Now your world has turned to trash
Broken windows on the past
Take that child, and teach him senseless
Damage the dream, damage the dream
I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
In this gloomy, haunted place
All the feelings are of shame
All the windows have been broken by the children
So the wind screams up the stairs
Slams the doors, and rattles chairs
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
Damage the dream, damage the dream
The magic is broken
The house is in ruins
Your memory's one-sided
The side that you're choosing feels nothing
Feels nothing at all
We feel nothing at all
Every kiss has left a bruise
You've been raiding too much meaning from existence
Now your head is used and sore
And the forecast is for more
Memories falling, like falling rain
Falling rain
Every view they hold on you is
A piano, out of tune
You're an angel
You're a demon
You're just human
Now your world has turned to trash
Broken windows on the past
Take that child, and teach him senseless
Damage the dream, damage the dream
I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
In this gloomy, haunted place
All the feelings are of shame
All the windows have been broken by the children
So the wind screams up the stairs
Slams the doors, and rattles chairs
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
Damage the dream, damage the dream
The magic is broken
The house is in ruins
Your memory's one-sided
The side that you're choosing feels nothing
Feels nothing at all
We feel nothing at all

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."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
I love this song because, to me it mean realizing that you will carry traits from your parents, and no matter how much you try, your past will always come back a little. To me, this song means realizing your'e a bit damaged but so is the person you love..and then working from there.
Yeah Tim Booth revealed at a gig I was at in Glasgow that he wrote this about his friend who was abused as a child.
i wasn't conceived in violence. i grew up surrounded by it.
Love to you. No your task is that it stops with you and does not keep going to the new generations. <br /> <br />
I always thought that this song was about a person who was abused as a child and is looking back at memories of it. “Every view they hold on you’s, a piano out of tune” means that the person was always thought of as something worthless, and unwanted. “Broken windows on the past” means that the persons view of the past has been damaged in some way, that they see their memories with hatred. This idea is also supported by “your memory’s one-sided” and “all the feelings are of shame”, the later suggesting that the person may blame herself for what happened. I think that “damage the dream” means that this persons hopes and dreams were prevented from being accomplished, whether physically or mentally. An alternative to this would be that the ‘dream’ of having a child and raising it happily has been ignored, and the child’s upbringing had been damaged through abuse.
This is only an idea though, and I know this song can be interpreted in many ways, but it just sounds like remembering an abusive childhood to me, I’m not entirely sure why. Either way, it’s and awesome song!
You're an angel You're a demon You're just human
It is exactly how you feel when you discover that that person is not perfect, but you still love her.
I think it's about a person once abused as a child by a relative. Stop feeling guilty, feel nothing (about it) at all. Damage the dream, tell what has happened.
I believe it should be reading and not raiding. That's just a thick British accent.
@komashu I always thought it was "reading" as well, until I saw the lyrics online & listened closely, realized it did sound like "raiding." So I sent a message online to Tim Booth (James's singer/lyricist) asking him which was correct, and me messaged me back: "raiding" Nice to know, because it was bugging me!
