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.
Look at the red red changes in the sky
Look at the separation in the border line
But don't look at everything here inside
And be afraid, afraid to speak your mind
It took a moment before I lost myself in here
It took a moment and I could not be found?
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
It took a moment the moment it could not be found?
What's with the fascination with the Echelon
What's with the constant questions that you have this time
What's with this circumstancial consequence
Find oversight before this night will ever rise again
It's all you've got inside your head, better get up and leave instead
It took a moment before I lost myself in here
It took a moment and I could not be found?
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
It took a moment the moment it could not be found?
To find ourselves lost here within we need reasons why
So we take this bridge with the other's that will thrive in the great divide
Look at the red red changes in the sky
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
It took a moment before I lost myself in here
It took a moment and I could not be found?
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
It took a moment the moment it could not be found?
Look at the separation in the border line
But don't look at everything here inside
And be afraid, afraid to speak your mind
It took a moment before I lost myself in here
It took a moment and I could not be found?
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
It took a moment the moment it could not be found?
What's with the fascination with the Echelon
What's with the constant questions that you have this time
What's with this circumstancial consequence
Find oversight before this night will ever rise again
It's all you've got inside your head, better get up and leave instead
It took a moment before I lost myself in here
It took a moment and I could not be found?
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
It took a moment the moment it could not be found?
To find ourselves lost here within we need reasons why
So we take this bridge with the other's that will thrive in the great divide
Look at the red red changes in the sky
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
It took a moment before I lost myself in here
It took a moment and I could not be found?
Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
It took a moment the moment it could not be found?

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."

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.
Hey hey this song is great too. I’ma get to the point. This is what i think of Echelon. I think this song is about war and raging against politics.
"Look at the red red changes in the sky" signifies the red skies during the day getting more red from hattred, war anddeath.
"Look at the separation in the border line" how the government are communists and separate the people and not let them speak their minds.
"But don't look at everything here inside" others in the outside world cannot see what is really happening behind closed doors.
"And be afraid, afraid to speak your mind" the citizens are unable to speak their minds/rebel against the government and due to the consequences.
"It took a moment before I lost myself in here" saying that it took time for one to realize what was really happening in their surroundings.
"It took a moment and I could not be found?" they tried to look within themselves and see what is right.
"Again and again and again and again I see your face in everything" their hate builds and builds and they cannot see anything but the faces of the government.
"It took a moment the moment it could not be found?" their hate is so great that they would kill them right there and then but none of them are there.
"What's with the fascination with the Echelon" they are constantly thinking of building an army or a group of protesters.
"What's with the constant questions that you have this time" they constantly question the government’s orders and laws.
"What's with this circumstantial consequence" why must there be such a harsh consequence from rebelling against the ways of the government and what has ever happened to free speech.
"Find oversight before this night will ever rise again" an unintentional mistake that they must take back or their lives may be taken and they will never see the night rise again.
"It's all you've got inside your head, better get up and leave instead" instead of fighting and risking their lives they should pack up and leave, stopping thinking of change because one person cannot change a whole government.
In conclusion i think this song is about the people raging against the government and rebelling against the power.
