Don't be afraid, oh mama
Don't be afraid for me
I'll be okay tomorrow, tomorrow

Don't be afraid, oh mama
Don't be afraid for me
I'll be okay tomorrow, tomorrow

I try to, I try to hide my feelings
Don't want to bring you down
But today I been feeling so low, low
But you see my demons
You can read my mind
And you know that I think you don't know, know

Now that everybody wanna see me
Like a star on their living room TV
You know how I'm living ain't easy
Oh mama, yeah

Don't be afraid, oh mama
Don't be afraid for me
I'll be okay tomorrow, tomorrow (aye)

Don't be afraid, oh mama
Don't be afraid for me
I'll be okay tomorrow, tomorrow

Queen, I know you got enough to deal with
I want you to cry no more, cry no more
I don't wanna see it
Queen, but when you look into my eyes I loose it
I'm in pain and I can't refuse it
No no no no

Now that everybody wanna see me
Like a star on their living room TV
You know how I'm living ain't easy
Mama, no no

Don't be afraid, oh mama
Don't be afraid for me
I'll be okay tomorrow, tomorrow (yeah yeah)

Don't be afraid oh mama (don't be afraid, no)
Don't be afraid for me (don't be scared, oh)
I'll be okay tomorrow, tomorrow

One time for the mothers
Who give their lives for their daughters
Who give their lives for their sons
Here's to the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
The mothers who give their lives for their daughters
Who give their lives for their sons
Here's to the beautiful ones
Beautiful ones, yeah

Don't be afraid, oh mama (hey hey)
Don't be afraid for me (oh no)
I'll be okay tomorrow, tomorrow

Don't be afraid, oh mama
Don't be afraid for me
I'll be okay tomorrow, tomorrow

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
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.
