This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
For this second of your life,
Tell me that its true,
Waiting for a sign,
That's all I want of you.
Your heart hides a secret
A promise of what is,
Something more than this.
Just a second of your time,
Any one will do,
Taste of any other,
Is all I want from you,
You offer me the world,
And how can I resist
Something more than this?
Make believe in magic
Make believe in dreams
Make believe impossible,
Nothing as it seems
To see touch taste smell hear
But never know if its real
For this second of your life
Tell me if its true
Anyway we are
Is all I want of you
Your lips lies a secret
A promise of a kiss
Something more than this
Just a second of your time
Any one will do
To know any other is all I want for you
Giving me the world
Now I can't resist
Something more than this
Make believe in magic
Make believe in dreams
Make believe impossible
Nothing as it seems
Never really understand what anything means
Another second of my life
Not knowing if its true
Make believe in nothing
Is all I want of you
Whisper me your secret
Whisper me your ears
Always something other
Something more than this...
Tell me that its true,
Waiting for a sign,
That's all I want of you.
Your heart hides a secret
A promise of what is,
Something more than this.
Just a second of your time,
Any one will do,
Taste of any other,
Is all I want from you,
You offer me the world,
And how can I resist
Something more than this?
Make believe in magic
Make believe in dreams
Make believe impossible,
Nothing as it seems
To see touch taste smell hear
But never know if its real
For this second of your life
Tell me if its true
Anyway we are
Is all I want of you
Your lips lies a secret
A promise of a kiss
Something more than this
Just a second of your time
Any one will do
To know any other is all I want for you
Giving me the world
Now I can't resist
Something more than this
Make believe in magic
Make believe in dreams
Make believe impossible
Nothing as it seems
Never really understand what anything means
Another second of my life
Not knowing if its true
Make believe in nothing
Is all I want of you
Whisper me your secret
Whisper me your ears
Always something other
Something more than this...

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."

This great song found on the X-Files movie soundtrack is underrated.. It's about the inevitable change in Mulder and Scully's relationship, which ultimately didn't happen in the movie, but was explored, the longing of something "more."
don't know why i always got the feeling i was about finding out ur girl friends pregnant. Can't reemember why now tho. oh well
This song is about a guy, that is so madly infatuated with a girl, that he doesn't mind that she will never be his own.
'the taste of any other, is all i want from you'...
One kiss is still all he wants. One memory that will get him through an eternity of lonliness.
To be that in love with someone, To know that they don't love you back, -and yet to still dedicate your entire life and soul to them, That is true love.
Granted - it's the unrequited love that no one would ever wish to feel. but it's true -and it's what this song is all about.
The Cure - pure genius
true love.. i fuckin agree.. but i believe such love is terribly rare 2 find..
but there's never always sth more than this..
true love.. i fuckin agree.. but i believe such love is terribly rare 2 find..
but there's not always sth more than this..
more than this... its always what we long for...
i fuckin love it.
Robert Smith sings this song SO FUCKIN' BEAUTIFULLY!
I like georgie18 view. the guy in the song, is asking this question .. making is sound small.. "Just a second of your time..?" but the question itself is to be with the girl hes dreaming of. Its true love, mystical and believing in possibilities. "Offer me the world, And how can I resist?" sometimes, you feel like that with someone, they hold the world and everything you want. and you want it, cant resist it.
this song is about how i feel. i swear. it's exactly how i feel.
