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.
So, yea, you said you heard this one
Maybe lived it twice
But with bias on my side
I swear I've got a different one
To be laid to line
And with a dime for your advice
You never saw a man
Make a fist and grab so fast he said
Good luck you know you better just forget it
'Cause love is never in the same place that you left it
I said you wouldn't understand
This was long-term love
She was perfectly described
And what she wore when we last met
It was pink and black
A study in scarlet up inside
You never saw a man
With bigger eyes that understand
He said
Good luck you know you better just forget it
'Cause love is never in the same place that you left it
You never saw a man
With bigger eyes that understand
He said
Good luck you know you better go and get it
Cause love is never in the same place if you left it
He said good luck you know you better go and get her
'Cause love is never in the same place if you left her
Maybe lived it twice
But with bias on my side
I swear I've got a different one
To be laid to line
And with a dime for your advice
You never saw a man
Make a fist and grab so fast he said
Good luck you know you better just forget it
'Cause love is never in the same place that you left it
I said you wouldn't understand
This was long-term love
She was perfectly described
And what she wore when we last met
It was pink and black
A study in scarlet up inside
You never saw a man
With bigger eyes that understand
He said
Good luck you know you better just forget it
'Cause love is never in the same place that you left it
You never saw a man
With bigger eyes that understand
He said
Good luck you know you better go and get it
Cause love is never in the same place if you left it
He said good luck you know you better go and get her
'Cause love is never in the same place if you left her

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."

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song's chorus is so great and all of the lyrics are true. It's about this guy who left this girl for some reason, but he now regrets it. And he's asking this other person what they think and probably, from experience, they tell him, "Good luck, you know you better just forget it, cause love is never in the same place that you left it" because you can't just walk away form a relationship and go back and expect things to be perfect, like they were. But, at the end, the person that he's asking for advice gets that he truly loves this girl and eeds to have her with him, so he says "Good, luck, you know you better go and get her, cause love is never in the same place if you left her>" And that's his cue to go and make things right with his girl. That's what I think, anyway.lol. ;)
i can't believe no more people haven't commented! i looooove Tyler Hilton and this song. I think 10Shana pretty much said what I would have =)
I can't figure out the significance of what she wore, 'it was pink and black, a study of scarlet up inside'...a study of scarlet is the first sherlock holmes story...did she have a copy with her? or is it a metaphor as 'a study of scarlet' was what dr. watson used to describe his first exposure to murder? It seems pretty significant given the title of the song.
