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.
Who said that rest comes easily?
You said that!
Might just need to be put down
Ain’t standing around
Our heads in the clouds but feet on the ground
Believe me you will see me living a life freely, rise up like a wheelie
Take a step back
Look what we achieved
Straight up passion
Not about ps
Forever we aim high
On the same level, looking up at the same sky
Deep in the music, up to the waistline
So we’re gonna do this
Ain’t gonna waste time
There’s a lot of plastic shit in this metal life
Bare bands but nothing like us five
It’s our time
We’re keeping it alive
Our home is where the road is so you better know this
We’ll take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive
6am still buzzing
We won’t stop for nothing
6am on the tour bus carnage
That’s where it started
Licking off bottles no dramas
I’m supposed to be saving my voice but i can’t stop laughing
We give a hundred percent, never go half hearted
H is an army advancing our way to the target
So positive, we’ve already made it big, regardless
You see me on the podium
Rise above all
High like opium
Got too much heart
And this is just the start
We’ll take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive
6am still buzzing
We won’t stop for nothing
We will take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive
You said that!
Might just need to be put down
Ain’t standing around
Our heads in the clouds but feet on the ground
Believe me you will see me living a life freely, rise up like a wheelie
Take a step back
Look what we achieved
Straight up passion
Not about ps
Forever we aim high
On the same level, looking up at the same sky
Deep in the music, up to the waistline
So we’re gonna do this
Ain’t gonna waste time
There’s a lot of plastic shit in this metal life
Bare bands but nothing like us five
It’s our time
We’re keeping it alive
Our home is where the road is so you better know this
We’ll take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive
6am still buzzing
We won’t stop for nothing
6am on the tour bus carnage
That’s where it started
Licking off bottles no dramas
I’m supposed to be saving my voice but i can’t stop laughing
We give a hundred percent, never go half hearted
H is an army advancing our way to the target
So positive, we’ve already made it big, regardless

Got too much heart
And this is just the start
We’ll take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive
6am still buzzing
We won’t stop for nothing
We will take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive

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.
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.
