i'm sorry moho, but this album is amazing. please don't judge it in comparison to the first album. the whole band changed members, so this version of the stills is completely different than the previous album's.
As usual with the Stills, this song is extremely depressing. But they decided that they would do this album happy, while still being really sad haha. i think the meaning of this song is that he was lied to and betrayed. What he once thought was his safe place (house) has been torn down. What he thought was precious to him (soft diamonds) is now worthless. So no he feels like he's being crucified (hanging all night long).
THE BEST part in this song are the last lines. He (the mountain) gets angry (catches fire) at the whole situation, but eventually his anger turns to sadness and he cries (melts the snow). So he goes home crying (river carries us home).
Listen close, at the end, he laughs sarcastically, brushing off his sadness like we all tend to do sometimes (we've been here before, we'll be there again)
