Lately days all seem the same since I lost my brain
Golden nights will see you through
Darker days need glue
How can I find what's right
In truth our love was the night
What's the point to you?

Goodbye wonder, Goodbye brain
This life is insane
No one here gets out alive
Not for life you'd like

How can I find what's right
The truth is our lives were shite
What's the point to you?
Come down, down, down
We have the only gack in town

Understand that it's here that I'm coming from
If I'm wrong or I'm right
Maybe soon we'll find peace in another one
Say goodnight

Eyes of black and lips of grey
When do I get my say?
Hard to come and easy go
Is the life I know

How can I find what's right
The truth is our lives were shite
What's the point to you?
Come down, down, down
We have the only gack in town

Understand that its here that I'm coming from
If I'm wrong or I'm right
Maybe soon we'll find peace in another one
Say Goodnight

Understand that its here that I'm coming from
I don't mind if you're right
Maybe now I'll find peace in another world
Andy goodnight

    Agreed. I think it's one of the greatest Delgados songs. I believe it's about life and relationships crumbling under the weight of drug addiction (gack). Hence their love was the night since all that they shared was the drugs. Yet, as with all great Delgados songs, optimism shines through at the end with 'I'll find peace in another world'

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
