Dust begins to fall to the ground (And you sit there and do nothing)
The air is cold and thin (You're content with doing nothing)
Thoughts are haunting me as I look around (But in my life, I wanted more)
This will never end, when I'll bleed forever (This will never end)

Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far, it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from

Outside shell is strong (There is nowhere to run and hide) confident
But slowly eats away (Stuck alone inside your head)
Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight (Guess you're better off dead)
Through my pores it seems to seep (Your mind bleeding)
When I'll bleed forever

Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far, it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from

And you sit there and do nothing
You're content with doing nothing

There's nowhere to run and hide
When you're living to die
Stuck alone inside your head,
Better off dead
The phone would ring in the empty house,
No one's around

Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far, it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from

But in my life, I wanted more
I needed more, I taste more

    I've also been thinking and after "I won't see you tonight parts 1 and 2" possibly being a suicide note and the reaction to them, this could possibly be a follow-up to those two songs. The first part being him reading the suicide note and the second part being his reaction after he realizes what happened and he's mad blaming the person, but this song could be everything starting to settle down after the death (dust begins to fall to the ground) and there is still some hostility in the air being it from a suicide (the air is cold and thin.) then he starts to blame himself for not seeing it coming (the title clairvoyant disease, clairvoyance being the ability to sense something physical happening in the future, and the line "thoughts are haunting me as i look around") he's always going to miss his friend (i'll bleed forever) now he's blaming himself for everything he did wrong even though he was always a good friend (don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong) he keeps blaming himself and gives up on hope (this spot in hell's where i belong) he's so confused and thought he knew his friend better than that (i've come so far, it's been so long, don't know why it started or where it came from) he tries to be strong but can't and keeps blaming himself (Outside shell is strong, confident, But slowly eats away, Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight Through my pores it seems to seep) and he just gives up on everything and just does nothing with the rest of his life (And you sit there and do nothing, You're content with doing nothing) i agree with omegahunter24 with the thought that the solo is a feeling of hope, then people keep blaming him telling him it's his fault and that he should be the one that's dead (Better off dead) and everything finally gets to him and he takes his life (The phone would ring in the empty house, No one's around, But in my life, I wanted more,I needed more, I taste more)

    This song just really got me thinking and i was listening to the album and the thought came to me that it is possibly a follow up to parts 1 and 2 of "I won't see you tonight"

    i hope i helped anybody who needed it

Mountain Song
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 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.
