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 found some peace today, I grit my teeth
And swallow all of my pain
And selfish pride, I used to hide behind
Let me out let me out I'm singing
Let me out let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth
Flames of pain stained paint my eyes
Child I've lost this face won't lie
Time burns my souls decay gray
Sifting through the smoke and lies
Swimming exhale love that's died
The first and last ain't ever the same
So I'll keep on singing this
I don't care if your right or if I'm always wrong
Just want to sing my song before this whole world
Let me out let me out I'm singing
Let me out let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and a cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth
Now and forever I stand to sever all ties and connections
To recollections of pain and fear
Family society authority and ever peer
Swallowing tears line my stomach
I'm getting freer every second corroding and exploding
All these corporate deceptions I'm out
Mental prison bars block our minds
Youths truth sold and televised
I never bought it and I won't play your game's for fame
Are we just rats in a pipers tune soothed
Scrappin' for cheese in a maze made to loose
I know I'm not and I won't eat your food, subdued
I don't care if your right or if I'm always wrong
Just want to sing my song before this whole world's
Gone
Let me out let me out I'm singing
Let me out let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and a cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth
I'm out
And swallow all of my pain
And selfish pride, I used to hide behind
Let me out let me out I'm singing
Let me out let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth
Flames of pain stained paint my eyes
Child I've lost this face won't lie
Time burns my souls decay gray
Sifting through the smoke and lies
Swimming exhale love that's died
The first and last ain't ever the same
So I'll keep on singing this
I don't care if your right or if I'm always wrong
Just want to sing my song before this whole world
Let me out let me out I'm singing
Let me out let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and a cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth
Now and forever I stand to sever all ties and connections
To recollections of pain and fear
Family society authority and ever peer
Swallowing tears line my stomach
I'm getting freer every second corroding and exploding
All these corporate deceptions I'm out
Mental prison bars block our minds
Youths truth sold and televised
I never bought it and I won't play your game's for fame
Are we just rats in a pipers tune soothed
Scrappin' for cheese in a maze made to loose
I know I'm not and I won't eat your food, subdued
I don't care if your right or if I'm always wrong
Just want to sing my song before this whole world's
Gone
Let me out let me out I'm singing
Let me out let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and a cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth
I'm out

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."

Punchline

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.
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.
