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”

[James DiSalvio]
I'm thinking sometimes things are moving too fast
'cause from the very room I'm rhyming
It be looking like the past
I know you didn't ask but fuck it
You're stuck with it you got to try, right? right
That's why your basic love for hip-hop got me suckin this mic
I'm like the next Uncle Fester
Another media molester with the flex
Coming smooth coming strange like grade ten sex
We cling to the text corazon through the chest
You dis it, you like it, we don't give a fuck
Well just a little 'cause we hip-hop
Deconstruct, we schmoozing like McLuhan
A slightly shy slightly void nappy, crappy, spinal tappy humainoid
[Sara Johnston]
Hip-hop love coming at you with the blazing sun

Nothing left to lose and no time to waste
I'm feeling kinda funny, think my drink is laced
I got these opium queens moving 'round my space
I say it's waste not, want not
I think I'll take another
I'm holding all this pain that I'm trying to smoother w
With the neon glows that keep me thinkin
About my brother and my mother in the city upon the BV sound
Bran man got me moving with my ear to the ground
With thoughts of cognac kisses for the men in black
Like in the front line baby I'll be at the back
'Cause I'm chilling on these thoughts of you down with me
Putting you before the I because it's easy to see
EP got me smoothing for the BV3
So let it be baby let it be, for real baby
You're the one for me that makes lovin' so much fun
You see, I'm the smoothest afrodiziak
I'll be the coolest afrodiziak
I'm like the strangest afrodiziak
So nick nack paddywack bring it back

Bran Van's in motion
Smooth liquid comin' with the notion and the motion
To recollect and check my memories with degree
Saying we's got necessitites
These recipes I'll be giving
'cause freedom's how I'm living
In my life without the strife, who's pushin?
We gots the cushion, so get on your knees and pray to G.O.D.
Set me free from this fuckin' ill society
For real, north to the south, to the east, to the west
Come and bless, Buddha zest got me true to confess
Saying yes yes yes yes
To the top is where I'm reaching
The chronic got me tweaking
And I'll be reaching for the peaking
More than you ever fuckin' seen, when I soar
Take flight to the skies on demise
This youth has grown wise no disguise necessary
It's quite contrary, so proud Mary
Keep on rollin' 'cause I'm strollin on the uptown sound
For real so hold tight to the steal
Lyrical assassins saying caps out to peel
[Poetic/GrymReaper]
Yo, Sharp shooters production
Bran Van 3000, coming through your housing
Yo, yo, get up and do it, yo
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Get up and do it, get up and do it, get up and do it
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
