(?)

Attollite portas, principes, vestras
Et elevamini, portae aeternales
Et introibit Rex Gloriae
Qius est iste Rex Glorie?

Sade, dit moi (dis-moi, dis-moi)
Sade, donne moi (donne-moi, donne-moi)
Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen

Sade, dit moi, qu'est ce que tu vas chercher
Le bien par le mal
La vertu par le vice?
Sade dit moi pourquoi l'évangile du mal?
Quelle est ta religion, où sont tes fidèles?
Si tu es contre Dieu, tu es contre l'homme
Sade es-tu diabolique ou divin?

Sade, dit moi
Hosanna
Sade, donne moi
Hosanna

Sade, dit moi
Hosanna
Sade, donne moi
Hosanna
In nomine Christi, Amen

The principles of lust
Are easy to understand
Do what you feel
Feel until the end
The principles of lust
Are burnt in your mind
Do what you want
Do it until you find love

The principles of lust
Are easy to understand
Do what you feel
Feel until the end
The principles of lust
Are burnt in your mind
Do what you want
Do it until you find love

Sade, dit moi (dis-moi, dis-moi)
Sade, donne moi (donne-moi, donne-moi)

Sade, dit moi
Hosanna
Sade, donne moi
Hosanna

Sade, dit moi
Hosanna
Sade, donne moi
Hosanna

    This song offers an interesting contrast of languages - the sacred language of the church, Latin, and the sensual French. This song is not only about de Sade, but about love and sex, the soul and the flesh. It offers a view into the period of time De Sade lived in, when sexuality was considered an affront to God, since the Church believed it denied the soul.

    De Sade took that stance to the extreme, denying anything higher than sexual pleasure as false. So basically this song contrasts the strict, spiritual world of the Church and the debauched, amoral world of de Sade.

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 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."
