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.
Baby
I can't sleep
Can you tell me a lullaby
Uh
Huh
A lullaby
Excuse me sister
Was I wit ya
Let me holler at ya
Try to paint a picture
Of you and i
Champagne in ice
Little candle light
To set the mood right
Can you picture that
Get ya hat
And get ya coat
Cause we can roll
Back to my spot
I'm in the parking lot
Come on let's drop the top
Cool you off
Cause girl your so fine
[Chorus]
Your body is so
I gotta get you
I want you so bad right now
Can't wait to be alone (can't wait to be alone)
And have you in my room
So I can turn the lights out on you
Your body is so
I gotta get you
I want you so bad right now (right now)
Can't wait to be alone (no)
And have you in my room
So I can turn the lights out on you
Excuse me mami
You here with somebody
I know you are probably
Cause your such a hottie
There's a private party
Back at my place
No one's there
Let's get outta here
I got the g-5 outside
Valeted, ready to drive
Just say the words and we can ride
We can take 35, w, 494
Turn right on candlewood and we're right in the door
Cause
[Chorus]
I can't describe in words
How much I love your curves
This is it
Come out of this
Come here let's kiss
And hit the switch
Lights out
I can't sleep
Can you tell me a lullaby
Uh
Huh
A lullaby
Excuse me sister
Was I wit ya
Let me holler at ya
Try to paint a picture
Of you and i
Champagne in ice
Little candle light
To set the mood right
Can you picture that
Get ya hat
And get ya coat
Cause we can roll
Back to my spot
I'm in the parking lot
Come on let's drop the top
Cool you off
Cause girl your so fine
[Chorus]
Your body is so
I gotta get you
I want you so bad right now
Can't wait to be alone (can't wait to be alone)
And have you in my room
So I can turn the lights out on you
Your body is so
I gotta get you
I want you so bad right now (right now)
Can't wait to be alone (no)
And have you in my room
So I can turn the lights out on you
Excuse me mami
You here with somebody
I know you are probably
Cause your such a hottie
There's a private party
Back at my place
No one's there
Let's get outta here

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
