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.
The color of your eyes
Run deep through me
I'll stand all alone
And wait for you
Down on your ways
Down on my ways
Girl, we're only letting
Ourselves down tonight
When it comes falling down
It's pouring over me and it's all the pain I felt
She said that she feels like she's had enough
She said that she feels like she's sad
Waiting for this night to end
When you know
And you know it's over
And girl I hate to say this
Maybe it's the wrong time
To bring up the feelings gone
Maybe you were right
But I can't do this now so
Pretty eyes, I'll say goodnight
I've said enough, I'm letting go
It's coming out again
And I just can't pretend, I didn't see this, here we go
Play the record and hold me close
Now I know you're leaving, just tell me that you care
Down the road we'll never know, down the road I wanna know
And girl I hate to say this
Maybe it's the wrong time
To bring up the feelings gone
Maybe you were right
But I can't do this now so
Pretty eyes, I'll say goodnight
I've said enough, I'm letting go
The color of your eyes
Run deep through me
I'll stand all alone
And wait for you
I'll sing you to sleep
As you hold on to me
Don't stop, baby girl
I need you too
And girl I hate to say this
Maybe it's the wrong time
To bring up the feelings gone
Maybe you were right
But I can't do this now so
Pretty eyes, I'll say goodnight
I've said enough, I'm letting go
So, pretty eyes, I'll say goodnight
I've said enough, I'm letting go
The color of your eyes
Run deep through me
I'll stand all alone
And wait for you
Down on your ways
Down on my ways
Girl, we're only letting ourselves
Down tonight
Run deep through me
I'll stand all alone
And wait for you
Down on your ways
Down on my ways
Girl, we're only letting
Ourselves down tonight
When it comes falling down
It's pouring over me and it's all the pain I felt
She said that she feels like she's had enough
She said that she feels like she's sad
Waiting for this night to end
When you know
And you know it's over
And girl I hate to say this
Maybe it's the wrong time
To bring up the feelings gone
Maybe you were right
But I can't do this now so
Pretty eyes, I'll say goodnight
I've said enough, I'm letting go
It's coming out again
And I just can't pretend, I didn't see this, here we go
Play the record and hold me close
Now I know you're leaving, just tell me that you care
Down the road we'll never know, down the road I wanna know
And girl I hate to say this
Maybe it's the wrong time
To bring up the feelings gone
Maybe you were right
But I can't do this now so
Pretty eyes, I'll say goodnight
I've said enough, I'm letting go
The color of your eyes
Run deep through me
I'll stand all alone
And wait for you
I'll sing you to sleep
As you hold on to me
Don't stop, baby girl
I need you too
And girl I hate to say this
Maybe it's the wrong time
To bring up the feelings gone
Maybe you were right
But I can't do this now so
Pretty eyes, I'll say goodnight
I've said enough, I'm letting go
So, pretty eyes, I'll say goodnight
I've said enough, I'm letting go
The color of your eyes
Run deep through me
I'll stand all alone
And wait for you
Down on your ways
Down on my ways
Girl, we're only letting ourselves
Down tonight

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
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
okay im not sure but i think the song is about breaking up with someone...and everytime i hear this song i bout cry cuz it remind me of when me & my boyfriend going through stuff......yeah too much info. well i really think it mean she sad and dont know what to do...and he the same way i guess. idk.
i think all the medic droid songs have to do with 2 people in a relationship not connecting. in this song, its them always having some sort of problem, usually with themselves in their own life, that prevents them from being happy. possibly drug addictions or just crazy drama that happens as a young person in the party scene.
if anyone knows where i could download this song, or if anyone could e-mail it to me it'd be much appreciated.
it's such an amazing song.
PEOPLE. If anyone knows where to download ANY of there songs, [ except limewire ¬¬ ] TELL ME 8D thank you ^__^
New Album drops May 27th according to their myspace.
This is an amazing song. It's obviously about love - hence the title. I agree with those who say it's about two people in a relationship not connecting, but loving eachother anyway.
True. This song is about break-up. It's about Chris's ex-girlfriend.
It's a really good song! I love it
