This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The view out my window
from the house in the city
is a brick wall
with a fire walk that cuts through the vines
A big picture window
with a moon on a mobile
looking out on the cars going by
I lay on my back and look up through the window
through the branches and the buildings
I can still see the sky
Old ladies smoke cigars
and play cards on the front step
as little girls play hopscotch through the cracks and the lines
It’s another day in the city and we all seem so busy
I like to step back and see the beauty of this life
I am tired of trying to shove a circle in a square
when I wish that I were here
but you still can’t find me there
It’s an empty feeling
like the wheels spinning in this car
getting me nowhere and taking me just that far
I used to live in the mountains and look out on the city
through the plains and the valley
I could see the skyline
but my mama got sick and I needed a place to run to
all the pain I was leaving behind
Slow down
Look around
Watch the world spinning round
Watch the sun, it goes up
Watch the sun, it goes down
Everyday that passes and the world stops spinning round
I might not be around anymore
Slow down
from the house in the city
is a brick wall
with a fire walk that cuts through the vines
A big picture window
with a moon on a mobile
looking out on the cars going by
I lay on my back and look up through the window
through the branches and the buildings
I can still see the sky
Old ladies smoke cigars
and play cards on the front step
as little girls play hopscotch through the cracks and the lines
It’s another day in the city and we all seem so busy
I like to step back and see the beauty of this life
I am tired of trying to shove a circle in a square
when I wish that I were here
but you still can’t find me there
It’s an empty feeling
like the wheels spinning in this car
getting me nowhere and taking me just that far
I used to live in the mountains and look out on the city
through the plains and the valley
I could see the skyline
but my mama got sick and I needed a place to run to
all the pain I was leaving behind
Slow down
Look around
Watch the world spinning round
Watch the sun, it goes up
Watch the sun, it goes down
Everyday that passes and the world stops spinning round
I might not be around anymore
Slow down

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."

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.
