This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Spoken like a souvenir
Touch all of your childhood fears
Keep them at a gentle pace
Closer now to feel their heat
Somebody says, I love you
All those years you never knew
All the things that I could do
I keep them in a hidden place
So I can rub them in your face
Somebody says, Somebody Says, Somebody says
I made you (I made you, I made you)
Breed! Breed on your own!
You're always alone
You suffering clone
Maybe you're not good enough
Good enough to make me blush
So many reasons I can find
To kill this little clone of mine
I hold your grace
Like a broken vase
You've been replaced
'Cause I made you
Somebody says, Somebody says
Breed! Breed on your own
You're always alone
You suffering clone
(I made you)
Breed, breed on your own
You're always alone
You suffering clone
Somebody says, I love you
Somebody says, I love you
Touch all of your childhood fears
Keep them at a gentle pace
Closer now to feel their heat
Somebody says, I love you
All those years you never knew
All the things that I could do
I keep them in a hidden place
So I can rub them in your face
Somebody says, Somebody Says, Somebody says
I made you (I made you, I made you)
Breed! Breed on your own!
You're always alone
You suffering clone
Maybe you're not good enough
Good enough to make me blush
So many reasons I can find
To kill this little clone of mine
I hold your grace
Like a broken vase
You've been replaced
'Cause I made you
Somebody says, Somebody says
Breed! Breed on your own
You're always alone
You suffering clone
(I made you)
Breed, breed on your own
You're always alone
You suffering clone
Somebody says, I love you
Somebody says, I love you

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think everyone has it wrong, it’s not about someone she wants to have sex with. It’s about her mother, or parents in general. Constantly stating “I love you” yet a negative tone towards that statement, along with the “I made you.” I think the I made you is meant to be taken literally. “Breed on your own” could be about how the mother would get knocked up and not keep with the father. I think the “Somebody says, I love you” could be them having trouble to properly refer to that person as anything other than a somebody, because their difficult relationship with that parent, yet the parent still says they love them.
On top of that, she mentions a clone a couple of times, being the broken part of herself that entertains the idea of their parent loving them? Possibly. What a confusing song, i love it!
tl;dr - the song is talking about the parent who abandons the child and she possibly resents that feeling of any connection towards them.
