Perfect girl - visit me in my dreams
Run away with me tonight
This lasts forever although it seems
That you're not real to me
I don't care

Crystal clear - I see your face
And I know you see me too
You look at me
My heart is race
Not even real yet
I fall for you

Do you seem so real to me
Just my dream - my fantasy
Mean nothing it all
A vision in my mind
I don't care
I don't know
I don't care

The lights are off when we're alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
I'm still asleep kicking in my sheets, yeah
The lights are off when we're alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
I'm still asleep kicking in my sheets
For you

Waited for you
You never came
Lying awake alone in bed
Yet you have changed
I'm still the same
Your promises were in my head

Do you seem so real to me
I couldn't see
Nothing it all
A vision in my mind
I don't care
I don't know
I don't care

The lights are off when we're alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
I'm still asleep kicking in my sheets, yeah
The lights are off when we're alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
I'm still asleep kicking in my sheets
For you
And only you

The lights are off when we're alone
(Wish we were talking on the phone)
The lights are off when we're alone
(Wish we were talking on the phone)
The lights are off
The lights are off
The lights are off when we're alone
(Wish we were talking on the phone)
Please turn the lights on
The lights are off when we're alone
(Wish were talking on the phone)
I'm still asleep kicking in my sheets, yeah
The lights are off when we're alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
The lights are off
The lights are off
The lights are off when we're alone
(Wish we were talking on the phone)
Please turn the lights on

    Ok, I've listened to this song a lot and there is never a "Yes, we were talking on the phone." For all of those particular lines, it's only "Wish we were talking on the phone."

    Also it's never "I'm still asleep" it's always "I am still asleep" ---yeah I know the meaning's the same, but I'm just saying what the actual words are.

    And in the last stanza, they don't have the line "I am still asleep kicking in my sheets, yeah" at all.

    K, done. ^_^

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."
