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.
Tell me what happens
When you stop being lonely
Do you find yourself forgetting all the good times?
I'll tell you what happened
When I stopped being lonely
I realized I could keep you here inside
Sugar makes my day so sweet
Secrets maybe in too deep
Nothing ever comes complete without your heartbeat
Whenever sadness comes around,
Your still the one who brings me out
When I forget to believe
You show me
If I close my eyes
I can still see you right here by my side
Holding me tight
Whisper in my ear
Everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright
I can remember
We would run for cover
When the rain came down
We were safe and dry
Holding you laughing
Until we went under
I love trading kisses deep into the night
Should have
Sugar makes my day so sweet
Secrets maybe in too deep
Nothing ever comes complete without your heartbeat
Whenever sadness comes around
Your still the one who brings me out
When I forget to believe
You show me,
If I close my eyes
I can still see you right here by my side
Holding me tight
Whisper in my ear
Everything will be alright
I'm closing my eyes
Just to see you
Open my arms just to feel you
Again and again
And again
If I close my eyes
I can still see you still see me
If I close my eyes
I can still see you right here by my side
Holding me tight
Whisper in my ear
Everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything, everything will be alright.
When you stop being lonely
Do you find yourself forgetting all the good times?
I'll tell you what happened
When I stopped being lonely

Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright

Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything will be alright
Everything, everything, everything will be alright.

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."

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.
A song with a fast beat, words are pretty beautiful. Relates to the feeling when you just want to be with someone, yet aren't able to... but instead have to settle for the next best thing, your imagination. It's about one person who is having a harder time dealing with the separation than the other, and that person's telling her that everything will be alright in her imagination...
