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.
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Let me be your fortress
One word then all of this
If I pushed it all to the back
Would you run home just like that?
If you're not there today
It's alright now, I can't wait
You cannot think of the cost
Burnt up like the day we lost
If only you could you see mine
Running out dry
Some of these feelings never died
I step onto your side
You never did see mine
Tell me are you sleeping still tonight
Is this the one
Is this the one
Is this the place where it all stems from
Where it had every right to become
Step away step away stay numb
'Cause you weren't there today
It's alright now, I can wait
We cannot think of the cost
Burnt up like the days we lost
If only you could you see mine
Running out dry
Some of these feelings never died
I step onto your side
You never did see mine
Tell me are you sleeping still tonight
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Let me be your fortress
One word then all of this
If I pushed it all to the back
Would you run home just like that?
If you're not there today
It's alright now, I can't wait
You cannot think of the cost
Burnt up like the day we lost
If only you could you see mine
Running out dry
Some of these feelings never died
I step onto your side
You never did see mine
Tell me are you sleeping still tonight
Is this the one
Is this the one
Is this the place where it all stems from
Where it had every right to become
Step away step away stay numb
'Cause you weren't there today
It's alright now, I can wait
We cannot think of the cost
Burnt up like the days we lost
If only you could you see mine
Running out dry
Some of these feelings never died
I step onto your side
You never did see mine
Tell me are you sleeping still tonight
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It's alright now, I don't wanna wait

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.
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.
I love this song but I don´t understand it :S
