This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
If we only knew the truth about it
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
Maybe we could work our way around it
Then maybe we could ignore
That the shore used to be the edge
Explore more
Than our block or the next city over
With nothing on our shoulders
But the clothes on our backs
And you leave us here with nothing
Expecting no attack
With soldiers on the way
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
Maybe all the things I do would make sense just for once
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
You think it's crazy to think
There's nothing to hide
Whenever there's a proposition for me to decide on
There's a million suggestions
With a million intentions
With the people getting richer
Off the people getting poorer
It's due for being over
There's justice on the way
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
Maybe all the things I do would make sense just for once
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
And what you said behind closed doors
(On private lines)
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
And what you said behind closed doors
(On private lines)
If we only knew the truth about it
If we only knew the truth about it
More than just a lie or two about what really goes on and what you said
More than just the right thing to do, the time has just passed us up instead
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
Maybe we could work our way around it
Then maybe we could ignore
That the shore used to be the edge
Explore more
Than our block or the next city over
With nothing on our shoulders
But the clothes on our backs
And you leave us here with nothing
Expecting no attack
With soldiers on the way
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
Maybe all the things I do would make sense just for once
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
You think it's crazy to think
There's nothing to hide
Whenever there's a proposition for me to decide on
There's a million suggestions
With a million intentions
With the people getting richer
Off the people getting poorer
It's due for being over
There's justice on the way
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
Maybe all the things I do would make sense just for once
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
And what you said behind closed doors
(On private lines)
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
And what you said behind closed doors
(On private lines)
If we only knew the truth about it
If we only knew the truth about it
More than just a lie or two about what really goes on and what you said
More than just the right thing to do, the time has just passed us up instead
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it

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
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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
