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.
Junior was walking out with a friend
When he turned around and said stop me I might just do it again
Try stop me try stop me try stop me try stop
I want to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I got the lot
Senior is teaching don't make mistakes we never made
But those were yesterday's mistakes and today's mistakes have changed
So sue me so sue me so sue me so what
I want to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I got the lot
Got the lot got the lot got the lot
Superiors dictating that's the way it's gonna stay
And pointing straight to junior says you'd better not do it again
Just watch me just watch me just watch me just watch
I want to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I got the lot
Got the lot got the lot got the lot
And what you had
And what you did
And what you got
And what you lost
And what you want
And what you will
And what you won't
Just watch me try stop me so sue me so what
I'm going to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I had the lot
Try stop me so sue me just watch me nice watch
I'm going to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I did the lot
And what you had
And what you did
And what you got
And what you lost
And what you want
And what you will
And what you won't
You won't
Got the lot got the lot got the lot got the lot
Got the lot got the lot got the lot
When he turned around and said stop me I might just do it again
Try stop me try stop me try stop me try stop
I want to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I got the lot
Senior is teaching don't make mistakes we never made
But those were yesterday's mistakes and today's mistakes have changed
So sue me so sue me so sue me so what
I want to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I got the lot
Got the lot got the lot got the lot
Superiors dictating that's the way it's gonna stay
And pointing straight to junior says you'd better not do it again
Just watch me just watch me just watch me just watch
I want to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I got the lot
Got the lot got the lot got the lot
And what you had
And what you did
And what you got
And what you lost
And what you want
And what you will
And what you won't
Just watch me try stop me so sue me so what
I'm going to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I had the lot
Try stop me so sue me just watch me nice watch
I'm going to live my life not survive my existence and feel like I did the lot
And what you had
And what you did
And what you got
And what you lost
And what you want
And what you will
And what you won't
You won't
Got the lot got the lot got the lot got the lot
Got the lot got the lot got the lot

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."
