Broken glass and red lights flash I can
(If sunrise sunrise is your muse than I can)
See the city burning for miles
Run back for all you can
(If secrets secrets never change)
Then I’m easy to replace
So come on baby its okay to
(I’ll be the last thing on your mind)
Say the words you’re dying to say
I’m clocking out for this one
(I’m falling falling faster than you’ll ever run)
And I’ll promise to show you the way

So call me on all my lies
Feed me on resignation
Its all a game till you break a heart
Then it’s a battle station

My tongue is still guilty if theres
One thing about me that still changes you
My empty streets still prove
That you’ll NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

So choose the place (I’ll choose the time)
And pretty soon (You’ll realize)
This trace of lipstick down his back (down his back)
Is all we had
Over and over we lie (so here we lie)
Swimmin in sheets of white (bedsheets of white)
One day in this sea you’ll be drowning with me

So call me on all my lies
Feed me on resignation
Its all a game till the teardrops fall
Then it’s a battle station

My tongue is still guilty if theres
One thing about me that still changes you
My empty streets still prove
That you’ll NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

I know you thought that I was perfect
But im not sure now that I am worth it
WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL
I’LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR CALL
To set me free AGAIN

My tongue is still guilty if theres
One thing about me that still changes you
My empty streets still prove
That you’ll NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

My tongue is still guilty if theres
One thing about me that still changes you
My empty streets still prove
That you’ll NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
