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.
her mouth is sweet her tounge is sugar coated but i can see those rotten teeth she thought i wouldn't notice i
waste my time and read her mind but i'm not kind i'm honest my mouth is cruel and deep inside... she doesn't
want it she keeps it hidden underneath her clean complexion i kiss her lips and she fills me with her infection
eyes of a snake, she loves to take with no one there to witness she scars me red, fucks with my head can't let
her spread her sickness sick, she's so sick
i am the pretty hate that makes you sick inside your world i am the scar that will not heal that's passed from
girl to girl i am that little bitch you fear cuz i am not afraid i'm everything that is real while you know
that you're just a fake a fake and you take, and you take, and you...
she wears her mask and i don't ask about her past i smile and all the time she struggles for control while in
denial identity crisis will keep her looking innocent self righteousness won't hide her dirty... decieving
intent she's lost inside herself so pretty in her little mirror but i can see her uglyness and it's becoming
clearer blood and guts i'm being fucked while she's a friend to me reality is lost
i'm drowning in my enemy and i can't breath no i can't breath i can't breath no i can't...
i am the pretty hate that makes you sick inside your world i am the scar that will not heal that is passed
from girl to girl i am that little bitch you fear cuz i am not afraid i'm everything that's real and no, i will
not break
wicked words tangled webs i can't pretend that i'm dead spoonfed her sickness candy covered lies so fuckin
twisted
don't tell me that i can't be myself that i can't be... don't tell me that i can't be myself cuz you can't
be... don't tell me that i can't be myself that i can't be don't tell me that i can't be myself cuz you can't
be... me
i am the pretty hate that makes you sick inside your world i am the scar that will not heal that is passed
from girl to girl i am that little bitch you fear but you will never tell i'm everything that is ill and all...
all is not well. all is not well well
waste my time and read her mind but i'm not kind i'm honest my mouth is cruel and deep inside... she doesn't
want it she keeps it hidden underneath her clean complexion i kiss her lips and she fills me with her infection
eyes of a snake, she loves to take with no one there to witness she scars me red, fucks with my head can't let
her spread her sickness sick, she's so sick
i am the pretty hate that makes you sick inside your world i am the scar that will not heal that's passed from

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."
