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.
[Chorus]
Now ladies come, ladies go,
Out my revolving door
Some ladies never come back,
Most come back for more.
I've got a house in the hills
With a door that spins.
Goes in and out,
Out and in,
'Round and 'round again.
I live a life these player haters
Would love to be living.
Since a kid, I've been surrounded
By beautiful women.
And slippin' in them
To win them
The unforgiven.
Still something's missing,
'Cause deep inside I'm suffering
Of a lonely heart condition.
Wishing I could find a girl
That would take me away
From the chaos of the city
And the everyday part that I play.
Tell me why lay low,
Why say no
When I got girls serenading at
My window.
Ladies good to go
We's major league
The new breed. No so-so.
Highly advanced and got the game
To get in any girl's pants.
And romance her stone
'Cause I more than hold my own
They call me Shifty Capone
I make them moan
Yes, I'm the one.
Between the sheets,
I amaze and stun.
Ain't no need for me to brag
About the way that I'm hung.
Let's just say I got the skills
To get the flyest girl sprung.
Or to take and make
An older lady feel young.
[Chorus]
I keep my girls in rotation,
Door rotating.
You looking for a good time,
I'm always on vacation.
You could stop by baby,
If you want to try your luck.
But don't waste my time,
Unless you're down to fuck.
Unless you're coming back for more,
Well then you know what's up.
You know the routine
Girl, you're not the one.
You're just a one night fling.
Some ass to hold this Casanova over.
Till the right girl pass,
I'll drop this lifestyle fast.
'Cause what I'm really looking for
Is the one will last
And make my present past.
My adolescence surpassed.
By the will to chill,
I'm looking for something real.
In a world of fake hos in high heels
I'll drop hot wax on your nipples,
Causing trouble.
And when you ride me,
Yo, I'll be throwing up that triple double
My sex drive's kicking.
I'm sexually exploring.
So many possibilities,
It seems my life could never get boring.
'Cause I'm not fucking around.
I'll rub you down the right way.
I'll rock your world nightly.
So, can I hit it lightly?
Yo, girl, I like it like that.
Let me hit it from the back.
I'm a natural aphrodisiac.
Better known as a Mac.
[Chorus]
Now ladies come, ladies go,
Out my revolving door
Some ladies never come back,
Most come back for more.
I've got a house in the hills
With a door that spins.
Goes in and out,
Out and in,
'Round and 'round again.
I live a life these player haters
Would love to be living.
Since a kid, I've been surrounded
By beautiful women.
And slippin' in them
To win them
The unforgiven.
Still something's missing,
'Cause deep inside I'm suffering
Of a lonely heart condition.

From the chaos of the city
And the everyday part that I play.

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."

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 its saying that he wants a deep rooted relationship, but while he waits for one hes gonna screw around with every girl he can
