Tonight I'm yours completely sharing you with pain
Guilt and remorse come with me
They're dying to play
Take me down with you
This feels so far from perfect
I'll try and pretend this is my heart
Be careful it's so hard to mend
I'm down for whatever if you're down
For the same take me take me take me anywhere you want to go
She'll never know
Take me take me tell me everything that I want to know
Then I'll let you go down
With you I can't go on pretending
You don't know her name
We've gone too far to turn back now
I might as well stay if you're down for whatever
I'm down for the same
Take me take me take me anywhere you want to go
She'll never know
Take me take me tell me everything that I want to know
Lemme go I think I'll wait too long
want to know
Let me go
Just take me down with you
Take me take me take me down with you
Take me take me take me down with you
Take me take me take me down with you
I play guitar and I'm better than you
My name is James James
He comes from Houston and so do we too
His name is James James
Woah woah woah
He's got something to say James James

    not 100%, but im opinionated, so here goes. this song is called "el burracho", which means "the drunk" in Spanish.

    This song is about a man (whos speaking to the alcohol not to a person), who has just accidentally murdered his wife/girlfriend who he loves, on an alcoholic rampage, and instead of going to the authorities or calling someone, he sits in a bar, or sits alone, and drinks some more (weve gone to far to turn back now) hoping to relieve his painful memories (shell never know) of what hes just done, or just to drink himself to death (take me down with you). its an unbelieveable, although extremely depressing song, and my favorite off the album. they went to work with this one.

    ps. those last lines arent even part of the song, its the secret song lyrics, they have a new guitarist named james, thier old guitarist now is thier drummer.

Silent Planet
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.

Mountain Song
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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
