He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
[Ne-Yo]
OK! Bad day got you seeing red
Wanted to feel the sun on your back
But it rained on your head instead
But on the bright side despite this hassle
Wet sand makes for a better sand castle
Inhale exhale just take a breath
And know that things don't always happen like they should
Gotta learn to roll with the punches and just say it's all good
[Cher and Ne-yo]
Cause it's like falling down
When everyone's watching
In the final round
Fight your hardest but lose
It's like shouting out
But nobody can hear you
But when it's all said and done
It's all good
Ooooo
It's all good
Ooooo
It's all good
[Cher Lloyd]
Woke up from the wrong side of the bed
Gotta get the work done
And then some, got a busy day ahead
But look on the bright side
Work hard play harder
Tomorrow's full of laughter
Inhale exhale just take a breath
And know that things don't always happen like they should
Noooo
Gotta learn to roll with the punches and just say its all good
[Cher and Ne-yo]
Cause its like falling down
When everyones watching
In the final round
Fight your hardest but lose
It's like shouting out
But nobody can hear you
But when it's all said and done
It's all good
Ooooo
It's all good
Ooooo

[Ne-Yo]
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah Yeah
Hey
There'll be bumps in the road
Things will go out of control
But you can't let it get you down
When the right just goes wrong
Just stop and keep pushing on
It's all good
Play it here and now
[Cher and Ne-yo]
Cause its like falling down

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

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."
