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.
Sound the siren, the storm has come
Searching for answers posing no significance
To the self
The ritual has run it's malignant fucking course
Forsaken to the core
By the constant cut-throat game of lust
Stow into the underworld
Your pain endowed
Feast on silence
Until the island sinks
Til' the ghosts at bay
Swim the sweet song of revenge
Right down to your soul
Passion flows with revenge
Her glowing eyes
Speak to him
Temptation he can't resist
(He waits for her in suspense)
Tonight the meadows stir with strife..
The dream is over, it's not your fault
You toil in these thoughts so willingly
The dream is over, it's not your fault
I'm wide awake without you
Promise me you won't be so disarming
Oh, how intent
I can see it in your eyes
I would rather be safe than sorry
It's a crying shame that you have turned out insane..
The dream is over, it's not your fault
You toil in these thoughts so willingly
The dream is over, it's not your fault
I'm wide awake without you
Baby tell me a story...
One I haven't heard
Before I end this tale of a spiteful man
Cause' I'll hide inside my mind
If it'll take you to the end
Cause' I'm caught intoxicated
With the sweet liquour of revenge
How could you love as I once had
When all was true in the moment
For love is just a word to you
A tool to lose an opponent, yeahhhhh
He's got her weak singing blood is in the air
Oh, it's in her bloody stair
Yeah, he's got her singing blood is in the air, tonight
Blood is in the air..
Blood is in the air..

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
*'sing' the sweet song of revenge
epic song though
