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.
Get off my shoulders I told you to stay away you're still a big part of me
Dance with delusional angels of sin
Kill false demons you might kill false angels too
That's not what we wanna do
Together as one we do as we're told living together and fighting as one
Rejecting what's "good" with so called evil included
The dominant mind will prove you all blind
Finding the balance to leave you behind
I've learned so far controlling all the dark
Evelyn visions in the sky, all on my shoulder, all in my mind
I still hear you sing my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I made up my mind to see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I
Stay away you're still a big part of me
Dance with delusional angels of sin
Kill false demons you might kill false angels too
That's not what we wanna do
Evelyn visions in the sky, all on my shoulder, all in my mind
I still hear you sing my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I made up my mind to see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I
Don't listen to all the bollocks
There's nothing on either shoulder
Spreading the fire fever into something more that needs ya
Maybe you fall forever and maybe we die together
Angel Evelyn I die
I still hear you sing my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I, I made up my mind to see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I
Dance with delusional angels of sin
Kill false demons you might kill false angels too
That's not what we wanna do
Together as one we do as we're told living together and fighting as one
Rejecting what's "good" with so called evil included
The dominant mind will prove you all blind
Finding the balance to leave you behind
I've learned so far controlling all the dark
Evelyn visions in the sky, all on my shoulder, all in my mind
I still hear you sing my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I made up my mind to see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I
Stay away you're still a big part of me
Dance with delusional angels of sin
Kill false demons you might kill false angels too
That's not what we wanna do
Evelyn visions in the sky, all on my shoulder, all in my mind
I still hear you sing my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I made up my mind to see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I
Don't listen to all the bollocks
There's nothing on either shoulder
Spreading the fire fever into something more that needs ya
Maybe you fall forever and maybe we die together
Angel Evelyn I die
I still hear you sing my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I, I made up my mind to see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I

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."

“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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think this song is about struggeling to get rid of religion.
"Stay away you're still a big part of me Dance with delusional angels of sin"
may refer to the struggeling to get rid of the delusion of the biblical sins.
"Don't listen to all this bollocks There's nothing on either shoulder"
I think this refers to that religion is bollocks, and there aren't a "good" guy and a "bad" guy floating on your sholders and try to whisper to do good or bad (like Donald Duck stripes :)
"Spreading the fire fever into something more that needs ya"
"fire fever" may refer to the fear of hell, and dont worry, go do something else usefull :)
"Maybe you fall forever and maybe we die together"
This one may refer to that you might fall (go to hell) forever, or we (all) might just die forever, and death is the end of it.
GREAT SONG!
