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.
Trailer parks on fire, billy been cookin' up something
If you need a biscuit, come on then, billy just got it jumpin'
Get it from a pro, get it for the low, get you some blow
Get it for the nose, get it for the show, get it for the (hoes)
Four-wheeler cranked up, gas tank on the ATV
It's full of that crank bud, Billy got pills from A to Z
So what do you think? But Billy won't go below 50
22's are dangerous, drink a finger with the nugget rings
Pow, take one from the needle, how you feelin now?
Purple moons in lucky charms, yeah that's the sound
But veins turnin' brown, but his fame is so profound
His name is like a noun, they goin' Billy now
Billy's on the corner with the crystal meth
Yeah, ain't he ain't slowin' down, ain't slowin' down
Billy's on the corner with the crystal meth
Go Billy! Crystal meth
Ayy, ooh, ayy, ooh
Ooh, ayy, ooh
Hello junkies, and hello mama too
Hello to my P.O., deuce up to the boys in blue
Billy got brass bawls, twenty pounds on the catwalk
LSD & Adderall, and LCD's on the wall
He's watching every move, high-tech redneck
Run up on him if you want to, I bet on Billy, come on
It might be dark in the woods, but the lights are on
The money's counted, and if the price is wrong
Well then, Billy will get them gremlins like Spielberg
He'll take your house down, off of them pillars
And take your mom to sizzler, and feed her chicken liver
That's cold blooded love, Billy's a chiller
Billy's on the corner with the crystal meth
Yeah, ain't he ain't slowin' down, ain't slowin' down
Billy's on the corner with the crystal meth
Go Billy! Crystal meth
4:30 in the A.M., Billy ain't slept for days
Gotta keep up with the profit, gotta keep up with the craze
It's a heavy shade, gotta walk thru the maze
Down where the sun don't shine, and the pine trees sway
And when the wind blew, and the cradle fell
Down come baby Billy, and up come an able male
Mama stayed at work, daddy stayed in jail
Hey that's a full deck, but you gotta play with what your dealt
So Billy dealt the joker, put the sheriff in the choker
He drank himself sober, and pissed in a supersoaker
And he wet 'em all up, and left his snow yellow
That's hard life boi, for the ello
Billy's on the corner with the crystal meth
Yeah, ain't he ain't slowin' down, ain't slowin' down
Billy's on the corner with the crystal meth
Go Billy! Crystal meth
If you need a biscuit, come on then, billy just got it jumpin'
Get it from a pro, get it for the low, get you some blow
Get it for the nose, get it for the show, get it for the (hoes)
Four-wheeler cranked up, gas tank on the ATV

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think Yelawolf is confused. Meth is not delt on street corners. It is not crack. Crack is cocaine. Meth is not. Meth dealers do not sell to anyone who drives down street. Crack is sold on most corners in the ghetto. ... Crack and meth are 2 different worlds.
@paulrees866 The meth game is not the same in all cities & it can vary due to an individuals personal preference of where they want to handle the heat that comes with it. Most, if smart dont want to shit on there own property. That way when they want to step away from the chickens & relax they can without worry of them constantly at their home, so they i.provise via delivery or meeting down on the corner or gas station or grocery store. So someone having their chickens fed on a pre determined corner is not impossible & I agree meth dealers dont just sale to whoever pulls up, they sale to the customers that they know & are comfortable with. Having them meet you at a corner of a pre known address is not out of the question. But yes the meth & crack worlds are 2 entirely different worlds for sure.
@paulrees866 this is nowadays Jalisco is serving 100 ???? for 25k. It’s racemic speed. That means it’s only 50% right out the gate. Then they add the N-ISO. Looking at maybe 25% dextro at best. P2P as a starting material will always be inferior. With prices that low of course your hood boys will be well stocked up. Buy Dextro Support American Labs
@paulrees866 you've never been to an authentic white trash gutter trailer park homeboy or downtown Olympia or Seattle WA or quite a for that matter. You can literally get off the greyhound in Olympia go across the street ask 1 person & you'll have a legit weight sack of real meth & a 10 pk of brand new 💉 <syringes> <sterile waters> <a new cooker to make it up in if you dont Shake-n-bake> & someone to take you to a kosher spot & help you hit if you need it> the corner ain't just for black folk drugs nowadays equality & shit bro there was a dream once that black children & white children could part take in the same activities in the same places together hallelujah that dream is reality
Sorry emoji turned into question marks. Supposed to say 100 Johnny KEYS dissolved in a solvent for twenty five K
