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 have everything I need
Innocent victims
They don't exist, who told you this?
Outfit the nation with a blindfold
And a crucifix
Infinite wisdom
A bullet for the pacifist
Improving methods
To cripple the populace
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice, I could keep retreating
Out I let it run me, run me right into the ground
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice I could keep retreating
Out I let it run me, run me right into the ground
I have everything I need
We have no knowledge of
Cause and effect
Our fathers left behind
The ugliest inheritance
Innocent victim
Its every kid who has a wish
Oh, God, you're in for the
Greatest disappointment
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice, I could keep retreating
Let it run me, run me right into the ground
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice, I could keep retreating
Let it run me, run me right into the ground
The ground, the ground, the ground
I let it trample me
I let it trample me
I let it trample me
I have everything I need
Well, I have everything I need
Well, I have everything I need
Well, I have everything I need
Innocent victims
They don't exist, who told you this?
Outfit the nation with a blindfold
And a crucifix
Infinite wisdom
A bullet for the pacifist
Improving methods
To cripple the populace
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice, I could keep retreating
Out I let it run me, run me right into the ground
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice I could keep retreating
Out I let it run me, run me right into the ground
I have everything I need
We have no knowledge of
Cause and effect
Our fathers left behind
The ugliest inheritance
Innocent victim
Its every kid who has a wish
Oh, God, you're in for the
Greatest disappointment
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice, I could keep retreating
Let it run me, run me right into the ground
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice, I could keep retreating
Let it run me, run me right into the ground
The ground, the ground, the ground
I let it trample me
I let it trample me
I let it trample me
I have everything I need
Well, I have everything I need
Well, I have everything I need
Well, I have everything I need

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."
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/
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.
