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”
okay i guess i'll pick it up right after the breakdown
she walks out of the crowd, her vision's kinda cloudy
the sudafeds are downs, the crowd cheered when the threw up her beer
they sat down and shook the sand from their shoes, took off their suits and they started to move
to the light of the crescent moon, to the tune of the 2 live crew
we stepped out of the jersey pines, headed straight for the neon signs
and they like the way she types underneath the flourescent lights
and she lives in the brooklyn heights, she came down on friday nights
and they all wanna meet some guys, and we all wanna meet some guys
friends like the beach patrol, they got the muscles, you can hold the soul
she says she's waitin on the steady type, then she disappears with the eyepatch guy
they stepped out of the neon signs, headed straight for the jersey pines
and she found something she likes, and she's alright but she almost died
and they all woke up at the airport in the arcade at the western concourse
that's when she said that we should do this all over
she wipes the blood from her mouth with her shoulder
said i just need a little diet cola, or maybe just a little lifter puller
i'm sick and tired of being stranded by the subway trains
i deserve a little fuck-up every once in a while
i'm sick of being scared of falling off the side of my bed
feels great, gonna dance all the way to the ending
she walks out of the crowd, her vision's kinda cloudy
the sudafeds are downs, the crowd cheered when the threw up her beer
they sat down and shook the sand from their shoes, took off their suits and they started to move
to the light of the crescent moon, to the tune of the 2 live crew
we stepped out of the jersey pines, headed straight for the neon signs
and they like the way she types underneath the flourescent lights
and she lives in the brooklyn heights, she came down on friday nights
and they all wanna meet some guys, and we all wanna meet some guys
friends like the beach patrol, they got the muscles, you can hold the soul
she says she's waitin on the steady type, then she disappears with the eyepatch guy
they stepped out of the neon signs, headed straight for the jersey pines
and she found something she likes, and she's alright but she almost died
and they all woke up at the airport in the arcade at the western concourse
that's when she said that we should do this all over
she wipes the blood from her mouth with her shoulder
said i just need a little diet cola, or maybe just a little lifter puller
i'm sick and tired of being stranded by the subway trains
i deserve a little fuck-up every once in a while
i'm sick of being scared of falling off the side of my bed
feels great, gonna dance all the way to the ending

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
here is what craig finn (the lead singer of lifter puller) said about this song:
"Steve Barone and I went to college together. This guy in my dorm had this t-shirt that said, "To Live and Die in LBI". LBI is Long Beach Island, and the shirt was a take-off on the movie, "To Live and Die in LA". Steve's family spent a lot of time on Long Beach Island, so it became a good setting for a song. Basically the story of a good person who has a momentary slip in judgement. I like those kinds of songs."
