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.
She's simply awesome
Ooh
She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned 'cause she was the cream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name, yeah
She said I was the tiger she wanted to tame
Caribbean queen
Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
I lose my cool when she steps in the room, mmm
And I get so excited just from her perfume, mmm
Electric eyes that you can't ignore
And passion burns you like never before, mmm, mmm, mmm
I was in search of a good time
Just running my game, yeah
Love was the furthest
Furthest from my mind, yeah
Caribbean queen (can you give me love?)
Now we're sharing the same dream (don't wanna stop)
And our hearts they beat as one (ooh)
No more love on the run
I love ya, I need ya
Caribbean queen (can you give me love?)
Now we're sharing the same dream (don't wanna stop)
And our hearts they beat as one (ooh, yeah)
No more love on the run
Ah, mmm, mmm, mmm, yeah
Caribbean queen (can you give me love?)
Now we're sharing the same dream (ooh, don't stop)
And our hearts they beat as one (oh, lady, my baby)
No more love on the run
(Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Caribbean queen (can you give me love?)
Now we're sharing the same dream (ooh, don't stop)
And our hearts they beat as one (oh, lady, my baby)
No more love on the run
(Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, yeah, ohh
She's the cream
My Caribbean queen, yeah, yeah
I said, she dashed by me in painted jeans
Ooh
She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned 'cause she was the cream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name, yeah

And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
I lose my cool when she steps in the room, mmm

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.
It's hard to dash with painted on jeans...yeast infection and all...
