Who's that poking underneath you shirt?
What's the mirror image you call dirt?
Why don't you just tell me where it hurts?
Not that I can help you

Nothing here can save you
But you don't wanna go home
Is there nothing that escapes through the hole in you head?

On the table is your only friend
Doubt you'll be together in the end
One less cry for help you'll have to send
To no one else except you

Nothing here can save you
But you don't wanna go home
Is there nothing that escapes through the hole in your head?

I don't like you
I don't like you
I don't like you
I don't like you

Nothing here can save you
But you don't wanna go home
Is there nothing that escapes through the hole in your head?

Nothing here can save you
But you don't wanna go home
Is there nothing that escapes through the hole in your head?

Don't want it
Don't need it
Don't bother now

    It may be about a person who resorts to alcohol to drown their troubles (on the table is your only friend) yet they don't really want to give up/die...or literally go home to their troubles (you don't want to go home)...the guy in the song is telling the person nothing here (maybe the bar) can save you...but yet the person refuses to go home and whatever goes in through one end goes out the other (the hole in your head)

Silent Planet
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."
