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.
Ooh, whoa
Yeah, yeah
Baby, I know
When we started out there was things you didn't know
But baby girl, we got a lot of things we need to discuss
I know I'm asking for a lot, but just trust
You say that things getting old
Sneakin' 'round, creepin', in love on the low
Now baby girl, I can't wait 'til it's officially us
I can't wait to let them know about us
At first I thought that I could take it boy, but I don't know (I don't know)
You told me you were gonna leave her for me long ago (long ago)
Eventually I will, but I just gotta take it slow
Don't wanna break her heart, although I gotta let her go, so baby
So please don't say you wanna give up
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love?
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day
When we no longer have to lie about us
When I'm with her, all I want is your touch
And when you call me, I don't wanna hang up
And I know I say it often but I can't wait
'Til we no longer have to lie about us
Baby, I know
The situation don't seem fair to us both
But baby girl, she's an issue that I'm 'bout to adjust
Don't mistake the love we make for just lust
You are my soul (mind, body, spirit)
All that I know
But baby girl, I can't wait 'til it's officially us
I can't wait to tell the world about us
At first I thought that I could take it boy, but I don't know (I don't know)
You told me you were gonna leave her for me long ago (long ago)
Eventually I will, but I just gotta take it slow
Don't wanna break her heart, although I've gotta let her go, so baby
So please don't say you wanna give up (please don't say)
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love? (Ooh whoa)
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day
When we no longer have to lie about us (no longer have to lie)
When I'm with her, all I want is your touch (ooh whoa oh)
And when you call me, I don't wanna hang up (baby, you don't)
And I know I say it often but I can't wait
'Til we no longer have to lie about us

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."

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
I love this song. It's so easy to relate to, it's what my best friends going through right now.
