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”
He climbed into the belly of the great white bear
It's very sticky and it smells a little fishy, but no one will look for him there
He took a moment to pick his thoughts and make them clear
Oh, what a day it's been
Oh, what a terrible state he's in
Oh, what a day it's been
Oh, what a terrible state he's in
Her eyes are wired, there's a hat over her thick black hair
They're racing through the snow, their sweaty hands keep slipping
But they're almost there
Her father's shotgun ringing out now through the cold night air
Oh, what a fix they're in
Oh, what a terrible sin
Oh, what a fix they're in
Oh, what a terrible sinister game
The hunter did play
To give them the hope that they could get away
When biding his time, he did wait down the line
To bring a disaster on their youthful dreams of escape
Oh, what a day it's been
Oh, what a day it's been
Run
There's a bullet in your back
Run, run, there's a bullet in your back
Run, run, run, there's a bullet in your back, but I wouldn't take it back
Run, run, run, there's a bullet in your back, but I wouldn't take it back
Run, run, run, there's a bullet in your back, but I wouldn't take it back, I wouldn't take it back
Run, run, run, there's a bullet in your back and I want to take it back, I want to
Want to, I want to
Want you, I want you
Want you, I want you
Want you
Want you
Want you back
It's very sticky and it smells a little fishy, but no one will look for him there
He took a moment to pick his thoughts and make them clear
Oh, what a day it's been
Oh, what a terrible state he's in
Oh, what a day it's been
Oh, what a terrible state he's in
Her eyes are wired, there's a hat over her thick black hair
They're racing through the snow, their sweaty hands keep slipping
But they're almost there
Her father's shotgun ringing out now through the cold night air
Oh, what a fix they're in
Oh, what a terrible sin
Oh, what a fix they're in
Oh, what a terrible sinister game
The hunter did play
To give them the hope that they could get away
When biding his time, he did wait down the line
To bring a disaster on their youthful dreams of escape
Oh, what a day it's been
Oh, what a day it's been
Run
There's a bullet in your back
Run, run, there's a bullet in your back
Run, run, run, there's a bullet in your back, but I wouldn't take it back
Run, run, run, there's a bullet in your back, but I wouldn't take it back
Run, run, run, there's a bullet in your back, but I wouldn't take it back, I wouldn't take it back
Run, run, run, there's a bullet in your back and I want to take it back, I want to
Want to, I want to
Want you, I want you
Want you, I want you
Want you
Want you
Want you back

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Well, I love this song, not only because it is a South African band and because it is so touching but because you really have to think about what it means, but at the same time there is no lack of emotion portrayed... Basically, I think this song talks about the very real and twisted "game of love" that two people have to face, with the world critisising and commenting. I think this song is about fighting for the love you feel, regardless of the odds and the circumstance. I also, especially when watching the music video (which is brilliant, by the way) get the message of how a bond can form between different kinds of people, and that connection can be so strong between those people that it is hard for everyone else to understand, but yet it is so comforting that nothing could really break it and the more the world tries, the more the two lovers will try to fight that critisism thus, only becoming stronger in the end even if the journey is difficult.
The lines that stand out for me, which give the song meaning are: "Oh, what a terrible sinister game The hunter did play To give them the hope That they could get away" and "He did wait down the line To bring a disaster On their youthful dreams of escape"
Lovely song.
can't believe no one's commented on this before! ooooh this song makes my heart ache. if you haven't already seen the music video, go youtube it! it's beautiful.
I love this song too, and it also makes my heart ache. I love songs that can do that to you. I suggest you look up the songs "I'll catch you" and "Out of Reach" by The Get Up Kids, as they also give me the same feeling as this song. Check them out on you tube
