brush your shoulder w/ an off-hand gesture / I'm holding your stare /
invite me upstairs
we look for reasons to stand closer touching / we look at a book / of
pictures you took
see who's taller and then arm wrestle a bet / I match your breathing
our chins touch closer we get
it's hours later and we're not much further / we've made it to bed /
your shirt's 'round my head
hands full of your hair and I can't stop kissing / I'm licking your
lips / my hand on your hips
a rush of wonder this spell I'm under might last / are we done with
others all other lovers are past
what's beginning? a brand-new winning, I can't stop kissing, I can't

undo your buckle while you bite at my neck / I've waited no end / I've
made enough friends
we're down to nothing and I can't stop shaking / you're nothing but
skin / I think we're done in
rush of wonder this charm we're under might last / we're too
hoping, our years are showing and fast /
we're too desperate, too soon investing, another lesson I'll pass

    Whenever I first listened to it, I didn't think it had anything to do with the main character wanting to use his/her partner. I didn't think "I've made enough friends" pertained to his desire to remain uninvolved with the new love interest after this night. The way I took it was this: It's obviously two strangers. Then, he becomes more and more attracted to her and learns more about her (the arm wrestling, height comparisons, the photo album), but they're also just putting off the inevitable. After beating around the bush, they wrestle, and are breathing heavily, and everything starts. I think when it goes "I've made enough friends", he's referring to the fact that he's putting everything behind him for her. He's under the spell of Love, and he's beginning anew with this girl. So, by saying he's done with making new friends, he wants to be solely with her. I love how the lyrics perfectly define that moment of first contact with someone new. The shaking, the goosebumps, and the anxiety and excitement. That's just how I go about seeing it though :3

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”

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."
