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.
Just when you need it
Never see it in your torn world
And seems like a plastic world
One just like you, one just like...
All I am is all I'll be
Can't be much more than me
A deep-end failing tragedy
All I am is all I'll be
Broke, believe it, deceiving
In your world
And I knew him, someone falling
One just like you, one just like...
All I am is all I'll be
Can't be much more than me
A deep-end failing tragedy
All I am is all I'll be
Take inside and be more careful
Defeat loss and glare at fall
To get you off where I'm going...
Following all down
Follow it all down
So I've got you wrapped up...inside
So I've got you...inside
And plastic world, crumbles down...
One just like you.....just like
All I am is all I'll be
Can't be much more than me
A deep-end failing tragedy
All I am
Take inside and be more careful
Defeat loss and glare at fall
To get you off where I'm going...
Following all down
Never see it in your torn world
And seems like a plastic world
One just like you, one just like...
All I am is all I'll be
Can't be much more than me
A deep-end failing tragedy
All I am is all I'll be
Broke, believe it, deceiving
In your world
And I knew him, someone falling
One just like you, one just like...
All I am is all I'll be
Can't be much more than me
A deep-end failing tragedy
All I am is all I'll be
Take inside and be more careful
Defeat loss and glare at fall
To get you off where I'm going...
Following all down
Follow it all down
So I've got you wrapped up...inside
So I've got you...inside
And plastic world, crumbles down...
One just like you.....just like
All I am is all I'll be
Can't be much more than me
A deep-end failing tragedy
All I am
Take inside and be more careful
Defeat loss and glare at fall
To get you off where I'm going...

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
Exactly what it says. "All I am is all I'll be."
This song seems like Brock is yelling out at someone, not quite sure who it is, could be himself or a signifigant other most likely, to tell them that he cannot be more than he is, regardless of his failing.
wow fuck, what a rhytm in that chorus!
Just when you need it Never see it in your torn world And it seems like a plastic world One just like you, one just like...
i think this means what you need is there but your too busy trying to find yourseld in a world of fake people and depression
all i am is all ill be ~ kinda the aftermath of searching for yourself and he came to the conclusion that all i am is all ill be and he cant be anymore then that or he'll fail

Take inside and be more careful Defeat loss and glare at fall To get you off where I'm going... Following down Follow it all down
i think this is saying like you have to be strong through depressing and hard times because if you never get through that you wont get where you want to be with yourself in life you have to follow your heart thats what i think they mean by "it"
but im also retarded but thats what i think this could mean or thats what it means to me lol
following on from what cureeclipse666 said
i aggree that this song is about following your heart through hard times
+you have to be strong of heart even if it puts you in a worser position ?
"So I've got you wrapped up... inside So I've got you... inside"
definately sounds like he talking about / to his heart
"Take inside and be more careful Defeat loss and glare at fall"
this obviously means take in what you learnt from mistakes
it has a feel of 'One' by metallica in my opinion.
