This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There's two arms you could break
How low can you descend?
Approach the subject kindly
You've chosen to defend
Those tears are not for real
They're falling on command
A harsh decision maybe
You're living on remand
Your mind is thinking madness
Much more you could not take
Before you fall on bad days
And lover-tour defense as always
Suddenly demanding, choose not
To feed on all this sadness
My stomach tends to fold
When I speak of your name
Accept that you're regretful
Accept that you're not safe
Your life is contradiction
A life that's bruised and torn
I've chosen toleration, you've chosen
To dismiss as always
Suddenly demanding, choosing not
To feed on all this sadness
Suddenly demanding, choosing not
To feed on all this sadness
Suddenly demanding, the truth is always
Worse when you are sober
This sadness is my own
How low can you descend?
Approach the subject kindly
You've chosen to defend
Those tears are not for real
They're falling on command
A harsh decision maybe
You're living on remand
Your mind is thinking madness
Much more you could not take
Before you fall on bad days
And lover-tour defense as always
Suddenly demanding, choose not
To feed on all this sadness
My stomach tends to fold
When I speak of your name
Accept that you're regretful
Accept that you're not safe
Your life is contradiction
A life that's bruised and torn
I've chosen toleration, you've chosen
To dismiss as always
Suddenly demanding, choosing not
To feed on all this sadness
Suddenly demanding, choosing not
To feed on all this sadness
Suddenly demanding, the truth is always
Worse when you are sober
This sadness is my own

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
The song is possibly about someone who has suffered years of pain in a relationship and decides they have had enough and can't take anymore, at least that's the way I read it. When I listen to it I tend to look at the meaning of the song in a more general sense, as having had enough of everything in life. I love the part "My stomach tends to fold, when I speak of your name", and "The truth is always worse when you are sober". Totally underrated song that I have loved since it was first released.
