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.
I can't help that I like to be kissed
And I wouldn't mind if my name changed to Mrs.
This is one side, my conventional side
An attraction to tradition
My vintage disposition
My sincere architecture
And I want to cook him dinner
But I'm more indecisive then ever
And who believes in forever?
Who will be the one to marry me?
A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree
A creature conditioned to enjoy matrimony
Crumbling continuity, I pick up the pieces
The ceremony makes me zealous
As the past quickly ceases
Fear from being neutered
I'm now prude, now defensive
Quickly I'm altered and tempted by new love only rented
Do you believe you'll marry me?
You might be the one to marry me
Back, looking back, looking back at me (back)
(I'm not how I used to be) I'm not how I used to be
Take me back, take me back into history (take me back)
Diamond ring, tie me down, just like it used to be (tie me down, how it used to be)
Tie me down how it used to be (ooh)
Not how I used to be
I'm not how I used to be
Who will be the one to marry me?
Who will be the one to marry me?
I'm Not how I used to be
I'm not how I used to be
Looking back, looking back at me (not how I used to be)
I'm not how I used to be (I'm not how I used to be)
Take me back, back into history (take me back)
Diamond ring, tie me down just like it used to be
Marry me
Marry me
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Happily ever after
Happily ever after
Happily ever after
Happily ever after
Something old, something new (resented)
Something borrowed, something blue
(Rented, apprehensive)
Here comes the bride (you meant it)
All dressed in white (you hinted)
Here comes the bride (did you mean it)
All dressed in white
Something old, something blue (pretty when I'm faithful)
Something borrowed, something blue
It's pretty when I'm faithful
Mm, and ever, ever, ever, ever (and share a heart)
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever and ever and ever (we'll share a heart)
Happily ever after
Happily ever after
Happily ever after (happily ever after)
You and me
You and me (happily ever after)

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."

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.
can someone help me and tell me what she is saying at the end of the song in the background? i cant seem to get it
