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.
Half inch fuse, ready to bite
Never said you're sorry cause you've always been right
Tell me I'm lame every Saturday night
Cause you drink too many and you want to fight
All my life, hold my breath
Wonder what trouble is coming next
Hold on tight through this mess
Sing that song cause you sing it best
La la la la
Hey
I love it when you're spitting in my face
The way you scream when you're breaking all my things
I love the way you put me in my place
Don't ever leave me alone
Five cent heads, two bucks a pint
I was late with the rent but I never say die
Wet my bed, is it ever gonna dry?
Learned to take your shit with a big ass smile
All my life, hold my breath
Shrugging off visions of an early death
Hold on tight through this mess
Sing that song cause you sing it best
La la la la
Hey
I love it when you're spitting in my face
The way you scream when you're breaking all my things
I love the way you put me in my place
Don't ever leave me alone
Hey
I love it when you rip my heart away
When you hold it in my face so I can see
I love the way you bring to my knees
Don't ever leave me alone
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on
Hey
I love it when you're spitting in my face
The way you scream when you're breaking all my things
I love the way you put me in my place
Don't ever leave me alone
Hey
I love it when you rip my heart away
When you hold it in my face so I can see
I love the way you bring to my knees
Don't ever leave me alone
Never said you're sorry cause you've always been right
Tell me I'm lame every Saturday night
Cause you drink too many and you want to fight
All my life, hold my breath
Wonder what trouble is coming next
Hold on tight through this mess
Sing that song cause you sing it best
La la la la
Hey
I love it when you're spitting in my face
The way you scream when you're breaking all my things
I love the way you put me in my place
Don't ever leave me alone
Five cent heads, two bucks a pint
I was late with the rent but I never say die
Wet my bed, is it ever gonna dry?
Learned to take your shit with a big ass smile
All my life, hold my breath
Shrugging off visions of an early death
Hold on tight through this mess
Sing that song cause you sing it best
La la la la
Hey
I love it when you're spitting in my face
The way you scream when you're breaking all my things
I love the way you put me in my place
Don't ever leave me alone
Hey
I love it when you rip my heart away
When you hold it in my face so I can see
I love the way you bring to my knees
Don't ever leave me alone
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on
Hey
I love it when you're spitting in my face
The way you scream when you're breaking all my things
I love the way you put me in my place
Don't ever leave me alone
Hey
I love it when you rip my heart away
When you hold it in my face so I can see
I love the way you bring to my knees
Don't ever leave me alone

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."

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.
This song is about a relationship. and learning how to deal with eachother. They fight..she gives him shit and he learns to deal with everything she gives him because he doesnt want to be without her. Dont ever leave me alone. Like, dont ever leave me even afer all the fighting and shit we go through, lets go through it together.
