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.
I'm looking for you
Trying to reach your roses
Carried away by the time
Seijaku no kyouki ni katame wo
Tsubusaseta mama
You've gone away
From the stage leaving no words
There's just fake tears left
Isuwari no shinju de kazatta
Bara no hanataba wo sagasu
I'm blind insane
In the red of silence
Now I've lost your love
Gnkaku no ai ni kawareta
Aatsuri ningyo
Get me on my feet
Get me back to myself
Pretend you love me
Yubisaki made shinku ni somatta
Ore wo mitsumete
Moe taekirenai kodoku no serenade
Kyozou no umi ni nagashite
Yume kara sameta chimamire no tenshi wo
Mune ni daitemo
I can not stop
Silent jealousy
Don't you leave me alone
Kanashimi ni midarete
Modorenai ai wo kazaru
Kurikaesu kodoku no naka ni
Tell me true doko ni yukeba
Kurushimi wo aiseru
I still want you love ai wo tomete
Kurui saku kioku wo keshite
I just wanted to stay with you
I just wanted to feel your breath of grace
I didn't know what to do
I couldn't say anything
When consciousness returned
Everything had been washed away
By the tide of time, even you
But the scars of memory never fade away
I can't stop loving you
Stop my tears
Stop my loving
Kill my memories
You dyed my heart in blood
No way to kill my sadness
Tachisaru mae ni koroshite
Kyouki no ai ni dakareta hitomi wa
Nani mo mienai
Ima mo I miss you
Can't live without you
Silent jealousy
Yume ni ochite
Dakishimeru kioku wo
Stay in yesterday
Toki wo tomete
Kurikaesu kodoku wo keshite
Take me back to the memory, to the dream
Silent jealousy
Don't you leave me alone
Kanashimi ni midarete
Kill me love
[TRANSLATION]
I'm looking for you
Trying to reach your roses
Carried away by the time
Playing with the silent madness
You've gone away from the stage
Leaving no words
There's just fake tears left
Looking for that bouquet of roses
That are admired through false pearls
I'm blind insane
In the red of silence
Now I've lost your love
Look at me
I'm stained to my fingertips in deep red
I can't stand this song of silence
Flowing into the sea of phantom images
Even if I hold my heart
The blood stained angel that has arisen
I can not stop
Silent jealousy
Don't you leave me alone
Falling into sadness
Adored by love
That I can't return to
Into this repetitive solitude
Tell me true, where ever I go
I must learn to love this pain
I still want your love
Stop your love
Silence the memories
Where the madness grows
I just wanted to stay with you
I just wanted to feel the breath of your grace
I didn't know what to do
I couldn't say anything
When consciousness returned
Everything had been washed away by the tide of time, even you
But the scars of memory never fade away
I can't stop loving you
Stop my tears
Stop my loving
Kill my memories
You dyed my heart in blood
No way to kill my sadness
Kill me before you leave
I can't see anything
With the vision set on maddened love
Even now, I miss you
I can't live without you
Silent jealousy
Fall into a dream
Keep holding on to the memory
To the dream
Silent jealousy, don't you leave me alone
Fading into sadness
Kill me love
Trying to reach your roses
Carried away by the time
Seijaku no kyouki ni katame wo
Tsubusaseta mama
You've gone away
From the stage leaving no words
There's just fake tears left
Isuwari no shinju de kazatta
Bara no hanataba wo sagasu

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
One of X Japan best songs!!! Too bad they never played it on Dahlia Tour :(
