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.
Don't live a lie
This is your one life
Don't live a lie
You won't get lost
Just walk, just walk
Here's for the ones tryna hold you back
Tryna make you feel like your less than that
Give you nothin' more better than to make you crack
But really tryna put your dreams off track
And you'll know in the end it'll be okay
Cause all that really matters are the steps you take
And everything else falls into place
There's no price to pay, I say
We're alright, alright, yea, yea.
We're gonna get it, when we live it, live it

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 think the song is simple
" Here's to all the ones trying to hold you back Trying to make you feel like you're less than that Giving nothing more better than to make you crack But really just trying to put your dreams off track And you know in the the end it'll be ok 'Cause all it really matters are the steps you take And everything else falls to place There's no price to pay, I say"
Be happy who you are things are gonna be hard and for the people that held you down theyre gonna keep saying things but you have to do what you gotta do.
"Don't be afraid to make a move 
It won't hurt you, just do what you were born to do
 And everything works out right 
Don't listen to all the people who hate 
Cause all they do is they'll make your mistakes for ya' But they don't own ya' 
I just told ya'"
