Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I can feel you breathing
And you're sticking to my skin
Someone shut the morning up
My conscience creeps back in
I don't hear the words you say
When you just come around
I don't hear the words you say
I just see you lie
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Buggered by a priest
When you were seven years of age
The age of understanding
Came with blood and semen stains
[Incomprehensible] in politics
Has handed back yourself
Is there anything as disgraceful I can see again?
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
How did we get from the blue lamp disco
To cracking up in San Francisco?
I look at myself in a sober light
I'm not Elvis but I'm alright
I can feel you breathing
When you tear me from within
Unhinged and unraveled
As you rip my fucking skin
I can put my head back on
But it's the wrong way round
Feeling up the ladder
You won't get back down
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
...
And you're sticking to my skin
Someone shut the morning up
My conscience creeps back in
I don't hear the words you say
When you just come around
I don't hear the words you say
I just see you lie
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Buggered by a priest
When you were seven years of age
The age of understanding
Came with blood and semen stains
[Incomprehensible] in politics
Has handed back yourself
Is there anything as disgraceful I can see again?
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
How did we get from the blue lamp disco
To cracking up in San Francisco?
I look at myself in a sober light
I'm not Elvis but I'm alright
I can feel you breathing
When you tear me from within
Unhinged and unraveled
As you rip my fucking skin
I can put my head back on
But it's the wrong way round
Feeling up the ladder
You won't get back down
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel

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
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.
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.
I think the infotainment lad is right...and that is a great line, the whole Andy's/Therapy?'s poetics of that time is stuffed in in...
