This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I drive all alone, at night,
I drive all alone.
Don't know what I'm headed for.
I follow the road, blind.
Until the road is dead end.
Night's in my veins, it's calling me,
Racing along these arteries
And law, is just a myth
To herd us over the cliff.
I follow the road at night,
Just hoping to find
Which puzzle piece fell out of me.
I know who you are,
Open the door and climb in.
Hold me real close, then do it again,
I ache for the touch of my dead end friends
And oh, I gotta know
Is it dead
At the end of the road?
I can tell
By that look in your eyes,
We're the same,
My dead end friends and I
We drive all alone at night,
A never ending begins.
Sweet as a curse just out of reach,
Awakens the dead end part of me and oh,
No more wandering.
Just me and my dead end friends again.
Dead end friends
Dead end friends
Dead end friends
Dead end
I drive all alone.
Don't know what I'm headed for.
I follow the road, blind.
Until the road is dead end.
Night's in my veins, it's calling me,
Racing along these arteries
And law, is just a myth
To herd us over the cliff.
I follow the road at night,
Just hoping to find
Which puzzle piece fell out of me.
I know who you are,
Open the door and climb in.
Hold me real close, then do it again,
I ache for the touch of my dead end friends
And oh, I gotta know
Is it dead
At the end of the road?
I can tell
By that look in your eyes,
We're the same,
My dead end friends and I
We drive all alone at night,
A never ending begins.
Sweet as a curse just out of reach,
Awakens the dead end part of me and oh,
No more wandering.
Just me and my dead end friends again.
Dead end friends

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“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.
I think this is about understanding that the fate maybe random, and that he is not much different from his dead end friends, people whom he new years before, but who became junkies or just lost their way. It is a fear that we all have, when we see an old friend who is a complete failure. This is especially true when we are dealing with artists, musicians, creative people, who do not have a structured way of life and are dependent on such a difficult to grasp concepts like inspiration and creativity. "we're the same, MY DEAD END FRIENDS & I" - the thought must be just terrifying.
i love this song. can't get enough of it. to me its about not knowing what ur doing with your life or where to turn to next. whether it would be professionaly or relationship wise. then he turns to drinking to help him thru. the dead end friends are the people he would be with at the bar, party, whatever. idk, just my thoughts
I think your right on. Though I don't think any of the songs have any definite meaning, just a feeling.
Totally agree... I like how Homme's lyrics tend to be specific in their imagery/play on words, but at the same time are so specific that they're obviously not literal at times, so you have to zoom out, and when you do that, the range of possible meanings is nearly endless
"Night's in my veins" - Possible homage to The Pretenders? Just coincidence?
i think it´s about ending a so called good relationship, and he is kinda lost, and in the time between this relationship he lost contact with some friends, but he finds his friends without any future being junkies or drunk people, that he uses to forget this love just take a look at this part
I follow the road blind Until the road is dead end Ice In my veins is calling me Racing along these arteries And love is just a myth To herd us over the cliff
Wow this is a great song! I like to read what you people think of it, your comments were really good. This is what Dead end friends means to me: i find myself thinking about all those people who simple lost their way, not managing to build meaningful life and having no more will for the fight. Sometimes these people are losers, but most of the times they're not. They are friends we had, who we appreciated and thought they'd grow to be a better person than we are. We were hoping things would come easy to them so we could feel like we had a chance of finding our way. I really like the part "awakens the dead end part of me" because it reminds me that with everything life throws at us, sometimes we feel like just give as well, becoming cynical and stuff. I also love the part "no more wandering" because a friend of mine one said she was not lost, just wandering or something like this. Sometime I find myself wishing I just didn't give a damn, like empathy is the ennemy. Stop searching and get lost entirely in the dark of an endless road.
