Three Days
Jane???s Addiction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling like we do
Like you love to
But never will again
I miss you my dear, Ziola
I prepared the room tonight
With Christmas lights
A city of candles
Three days was the morning
My focus three days old
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows
I am proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
Three ways was the morning
Three lovers, in three ways
We knew when she landed
Three days she'd stay
I am a proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
We saw shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
Shadows of the morning light
Shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
True hunting is over
No herd to follow
Without game, men prey on each other
The family weakens by the bite we swallow, oh
True leaders gone
Of land and people
We choose no kin but adopted strangers
The family weakens by the length we travel, oj
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
Erotic Jesus lays with his Mary's
Loves his Mary's
Bits of puzzle
Fitting each other
All now with wings
Oh my Mary's
Never wonder
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver
All now with wings
The lyrics to Jane’s Addiction’s song Three days express deep emotion and longing for a person who is not there. The opening lyrics urge the listener to join them in feeling what they feel, even though they know the feeling won’t last: “At this moment, you should be with us, feeling like we do, like you love to, but never will again.”
The song takes us on a journey. The imagery of the first verse portrays a sense of confusion and disorientation. The lyrics “Three days was the morning, my focus three days old” suggest a feeling of being lost, followed by the mention of the sounds of cricket bows, which could symbolize both solitude and new beginnings.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of time passing and the effect it has on people. The lyrics “I am a proud man anyway, covered now by three days” illustrate the singer’s pride despite his struggles and the passing of time. In the second verse, the lyrics convey a sense of love, with images of three lovers and the hope that the person they are waiting for will come back to them.
The song ends with a combination of seemingly unrelated lyrics that suggest a dynamic energy and a sense of rebirth. The final image of “all of us with wings” symbolizes liberation, freedom, and new beginnings.

At this moment, you should be with us
We wish you were here right now experiencing what we are
Feeling like we do
Feeling the emotions that we feel
Like you love to
Just like you always do
But never will again
But unfortunately, you won't have that chance ever again
I miss you my dear, Ziola
I really miss you, my lovely Ziola
I prepared the room tonight
I got everything ready in the room tonight
With Christmas lights
I decorated the room with festive, bright lights
A city of candles
There are many candles in the room creating a warm, cozy atmosphere
Fresh
And everything is brand new and ready to go
Three days was the morning
It all started three days ago in the morning
My focus three days old
I've been concentrating on this for three days now
My head, it landed
My mind was blown
To the sounds of cricket bows
By the sound of nature
I am a proud man anyway
I might be proud, but that doesn't change anything
Covered now by three days
But I can only be strong for so long
Three ways was the morning
Three people started the day together
Three lovers, in three ways
Three people had unique experiences with each other that day
We knew when she landed
We knew when she arrived
Three days she'd stay
She planned to stay for three days
We saw shadows of the morning light
The light was just starting to show itself and we could see the shadows it creates
The shadows of the evening sun
As the sun set, we could see the shadows it created
Till the shadows and the light were one
Until they blended together and became one entity
True hunting is over
We've finished our true hunting
No herd to follow
There is no more prey to hunt
Without game, men prey on each other
Without anything else to hunt, we start to turn on each other
The family weakens by the bite we swallow, oh
Our family grows weaker as we hurt each other
True leaders gone
The true leaders are gone
Of land and people
The land and its people are both suffering
We choose no kin but adopted strangers
We are no longer choosing to be with our kin or family, but rather strangers we've adopted
The family weakens by the length we travel, oh
With every step we take, we grow further apart from our family and weaken it
All of us with wings, oh
All of us have wings to fly
Erotic Jesus lays with his Mary's
Erotic Jesus is with his many Mary's
Loves his Mary's
He loves all of them
Bits of puzzle
We all fit together like different pieces of a puzzle
Fitting each other
We all fit together perfectly
Never wonder
Don't ever question
Night is shelter
The night provides safety
For nudity's shiver
From the cold air on our exposed skin
All now with wings
We can all take flight now
