I was lost, didn't know where I was going
And I felt the chill of cold wind blowing
I didn't know just who I was becoming
I felt so alone and I was tired of running
And then I saw you

You changed my perspective
Made me see what I don't need
Put pressure on my heart
Where it used to bleed
And I'd hold you close
If you gave me the chance
And I would smile
Being stuck in your trance
I'd throw life away
Just to be by your side
And if it never happens
At least I know I tried
Hold me close
I need to experience you first hand
Throw me away
I won't like it but I'll understand
Hold me close
So close

I was feeling like I was running on empty
So confused, you know I just couldn't see
Couldn't see things for what they were
I thought I was nothing without her
And then I saw you

You turned me around
You picked me up when I fell down
Dusted me off then walked away
Now I know everything's okay
And I can't name all the things I would do
Just for a chance to be close to you

Hold me close
I need to experience you first hand
Throw me away
I won't like it but I'll understand
Hold me close
So close

And we're living in a world of pain
And I don't if our feelings are the same
Just know that I'll be here for you
And I thank you for what you helped me through
I was helpless and confused
And then I saw you

You take me
You healed me
You'll break me
I feel you
Draw me near then push me back
I love you
I know you
I just want
To hold you
I owe you everything

Silent Planet
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.

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."

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.
