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.
It took ten years to realize
Why the angel stopped crying
When you sail on down the lane
Your happy smile, your funny name
I just don't mean the things that I say
It's only 'cause you're made that way
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
When we grooved on into town
Charles Atlas stopped to frown
'Cause he's not made like me and you
Just can't do the things we do
I'm not being mean, so don't take it hard
When I ask you to run round the yard
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Why the angel stopped crying
When you sail on down the lane
Your happy smile, your funny name
I just don't mean the things that I say
It's only 'cause you're made that way
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
When we grooved on into town
Charles Atlas stopped to frown
'Cause he's not made like me and you
Just can't do the things we do
I'm not being mean, so don't take it hard
When I ask you to run round the yard
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing
There's too much happening

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."

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.
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.
think this is a different recordng from the one above:
It took ten years to realize Why the angel start to cry When you roll on down the lane In your happy smile, your funny name
I´m not being mean so don´t take it hard When I ask you to run on the yard
It´s so hopeless to define Why you jump to close the blinds, you You know I´d help you if I could, but both my arms are made of wood
Just don't mean the things I say It's only 'cause you're made that way
Sorry for laughing There's too much happening (repeat)
tchika, tchika, tchika, tchika
When we groove on, into town Charles Atlas, he stops to frown 'Cause he's not made like me and you Just can't do the things we do You know it's-s times like these you have to pay So, sorry to turn of that way
It took ten years to realize Why the angel start to cry When you roll on down the lane Your happy smile, your funny name
I’m not being mean so don’t take it hard When I ask you to run under yard
It’s so hopeless to close the blinds You know I’d help you if I could, but both my arms are made of wood
Just don't mean the things that I say It's only 'cause you're made that way
Sorry for laughing There's too much happening Sorry for laughing There's too much happening
When we grooved on into town Charles Atlas stopped to frown 'Cause he's not made like me and you Just can't do the things we do I'm not being mean, so don't take it hard When I ask you to run round the yard
Sorry for laughing There's too much happening Sorry for laughing There's too much happening
Sorry for laughing There's too much happening Sorry for laughing There's too much happening
Actually those are still messed up.
