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.
Sunny days (sunny days)
I know are quite rare but I don't care cause I'm still happy
Oh so happy with the world today
What about a pretty girl
Well, maybe yes but I'm okay
I've had enough heart break through the day
No thrills just beans and toast today
Hey, Hey
Well no more sunny days
Not even a glimmer of the suns rays
It's just me and my mates sky sports,
now your gone I'm watching to much sky sports
What I'm doing? Where I'm goin'? I dunno today
One plate at the table there use to be two
Now your gone I'm even watching count down
I bet you're with your friends, all around town
You're the only thing that I think about most
Looks like it's just me my beans and toast.
Sunny days (sunny days)
I know are quite rare but I don't care cause I'm still happy
Oh so happy with the world today
What about a pretty girl
WWell, maybe yes but I'm okay
I've had enough heart break through the day
No thrills just beans and toast tonight
I feel low
I've already shedded a tear
Surrounded by pizza boxes and flat beer
I've got a head ache now one too many
I'm confused I thought things were going well
But it turns out that wasn't the case
Tell me were over bad news down the phone
I just wanted to see your face for the last time
Maybe I can change your thoughts from your last line
It's you that I think about most
Looks like it's just me my beans and toast
Sunny days sunny days
I know are quite rare but I don't care cause I'm still happy
Oh so happy with the world today
What about a pretty girl
Well maybe yes but I'm okay
I've had enough heart break through the day
No thrills just beans and toast tonight.
I'm alone and that's okay
And there's nothing more to say
I'll just get on with my life
Now you're gone
Now you're gone.
Sunny days sunny days
I know are quite rare but I don't care cause
I'm still happy oh so happy with the world today
What about a pretty girl
Well maybe yes but I'm okay
I've had enough heart break through the day
No thrills just beans and toast today
I know are quite rare but I don't care cause I'm still happy
Oh so happy with the world today
What about a pretty girl
Well, maybe yes but I'm okay
I've had enough heart break through the day
No thrills just beans and toast today
Hey, Hey
Well no more sunny days

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
