This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Hey brother, do you remember when
We used to play outdoors
Till the light was absorbed by the night.
Hey brother, it was an innocent time.
We used to laugh 'till we cried,
But still boys on the inside.
(I wanna do it again)
First time staying out all night.
Last time that we got away with lies.
I can hear it in the back of my mind.
Over and over again.
(I wanna do it again)
[Chorus]
Late nights and early lights.
Never thought it would come to a goodbye.
I replay it on the back of my mind
Over and over again.
(I wanna do it again)
La la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
(I wanna do it again)
Hey lover, do you remember when
We would dance in your apartment
Till neighbors would knock on your door?
And I remember, do you remember when
We had no money to speak of,
No where else to eat but your floor.
(I wanna do it again)
First time staying out all night.
Last time that we got away with lies.
I can hear it in the back of my mind.
Over and over again.
(I wanna do it again)
[Chorus]
All those days gone forever.
Wonder if we're gonna ever.
See all our young life friends that we made again.
Have we all lost connection?
The life pulls in all directions.
Memories bring us back to where we've been.
(I wanna do it again)
The first time staying out all night.
The last time that we got away with lies.
We can hear it in the back of our minds
Over and over again.
(I wanna do it again)
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x4]
La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
(I wanna do it again)
We used to play outdoors
Till the light was absorbed by the night.
Hey brother, it was an innocent time.
We used to laugh 'till we cried,
But still boys on the inside.
(I wanna do it again)
First time staying out all night.
Last time that we got away with lies.
I can hear it in the back of my mind.
Over and over again.
(I wanna do it again)
[Chorus]
Late nights and early lights.
Never thought it would come to a goodbye.
I replay it on the back of my mind
Over and over again.
(I wanna do it again)
La la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
(I wanna do it again)
Hey lover, do you remember when
We would dance in your apartment
Till neighbors would knock on your door?
And I remember, do you remember when
We had no money to speak of,
No where else to eat but your floor.
(I wanna do it again)
First time staying out all night.
Last time that we got away with lies.
I can hear it in the back of my mind.
Over and over again.
(I wanna do it again)
[Chorus]
All those days gone forever.
Wonder if we're gonna ever.
See all our young life friends that we made again.
Have we all lost connection?
The life pulls in all directions.
Memories bring us back to where we've been.
(I wanna do it again)
The first time staying out all night.
The last time that we got away with lies.
We can hear it in the back of our minds
Over and over again.
(I wanna do it again)

La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
(I wanna do it again)

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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I know, my comment was towards mrwonderr, because he thought they said 'do you' instead of 'hear you.'
Nice work tho, the rest is good.
