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.
This feeling never leaves you alone
You pull the trigger on your own
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital
Not will you ever rest your head
You end up feeling mostly dead
Pretending you're the last one
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital
Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
It never used to hurt before
It isn't funny anymore
You're feeling so alone now
Funny how you wish some way that you could die at the hospital
You're quiet on the car ride home
You're waiting for your head to explode
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
All the way to the hospital
Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
(Before I close my)
Before I close my eyes
I hope to give it up
(Take off my)
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
And leave the lies to the liars
He thinks he fooled them all
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)
He thinks he fooled them all
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)
Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
(Before I close my)
Before I close my eyes
I'm gonna give it up
(Take off my mask)
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey
You pull the trigger on your own
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital
Not will you ever rest your head
You end up feeling mostly dead
Pretending you're the last one
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital
Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
It never used to hurt before
It isn't funny anymore
You're feeling so alone now
Funny how you wish some way that you could die at the hospital
You're quiet on the car ride home
You're waiting for your head to explode
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
All the way to the hospital
Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
(Before I close my)
Before I close my eyes
I hope to give it up
(Take off my)
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
And leave the lies to the liars
He thinks he fooled them all
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)
He thinks he fooled them all
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)
Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
(Before I close my)
Before I close my eyes
I'm gonna give it up
(Take off my mask)
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i don't know if that sounds stupid but .. um see this part ,, Three cheers you fooled them all" .. so Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge ??? i don't know just found the conection with mcr's album :) . otherwise i'm agree .. i think it's about someone who took too much ..but not exactly wanting to kill themselvs but .. just not caring ..whatever happens and they hope to die yeah ..
