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”
Let's keep the fire tame but we'll keep our hands hot
I cannot get that ace so let me see a face card drop
We can play the field, if it feels right
Or we can spin the wheel and roll the dice for midnight
All that matters to me girl, win or lose
Is an x-rated complete swirl of me and you
So if you want to see the show, just come with me baby
I will show you how I roll
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?
And we're gonna risk it all for the weekend
Cause I've been needing this time off and everybody's drinking
You get excited, you can't hide it when you hit the floor
The after party won't get started till bout three or four
So when you see me from across the room, girl you know what to do
Can you get me in the mood?
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?
I'll make you want this
And make you want it more
You keep on suckin' me, suckin' me in
You make me want it more
You keep on suckin' me, suckin' me in
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it
Rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it
Rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it
I cannot get that ace so let me see a face card drop
We can play the field, if it feels right
Or we can spin the wheel and roll the dice for midnight
All that matters to me girl, win or lose
Is an x-rated complete swirl of me and you
So if you want to see the show, just come with me baby
I will show you how I roll
Let's burn this filthy town straight into the ground with our dirty looks and glances
Come on, can you hear us now, as we rock you, shock you, drop you, and make you want it more?

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
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."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Hmm... Let me just do a quick surface read of the lyrics...
"I'll make you want this And make you want it more You keep on suckin' me, suckin' me in You make me want it more You keep on suckin' me, suckin' me in"
Yeah... pretty much pure sex, lol... Although many other interpretations could easily be made...
