its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
She captures her reflection then she throws the mirror to the floor
Her image is distorted screaming, "Is it worth it anymore?"
No-oh-oh
Are you scared of the things that they might put you through?
Does it make you wanna hide the inner you?
You're not the only one so let them criticize, oh oh oh
You're untouchable when you realize, oh oh oh
Change, change your life, take it all
We're gonna stick together, know we'll get through it all
Change, change your life, take it all (yeah, take it all)
You're gonna use it to become what you've always known
(Become what you've always known)
His body starts to flicker like nobody wants to know his name
Just another soul with feelings but nobody's there to feel the pain
No, no, no
They can rip you, bring you down, down to their size
But they will never get to the heart you hold inside
Mm, mm, mm
You're not the only one so let them criticize
You're untouchable when you realize
Ooh-oh-oh
Change, change your life, take it all (take it all)
We're gonna stick together, know we'll get through it all (I know we'll get through it all)
Change, change your life, take it all (yeah, take it all)
You're gonna use it to become what you've always known (become what you've always known)
Change, change your life, take it all
(Change your life and take it all)
Change, change your life, take it all
(Change your life and take it all)
You got a right to show the world
Something never seen
We wanna hear you scream it out
You're not alone
Oh, whoa
Oh, yeah
Change, change your life, take it all (take it all)
We're gonna stick together, know we'll get through it all (we're invincible)
Change, change your life, take it all (change your life and take it all)
You're gonna use it to become what you've always known (become what you've always known)

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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 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."
I think this song is about people who are trying to crush your dreams, but Little Mix are telling you to ignore it, go for your dreams and change your life. Don't let people bring you down if you have a dream, just because people are criticizing you. Show everyone that you don't care about what people think of you.
