How you gonna get up if you ain't never been down?
How you gonna move on if you ain't never had enough?
Give the signal advance the pill pushers
Administer a change purse full of Thorazine
Show this girl a little bar courtesy and
Keep her senses clear of the scene
We've found a gentleman caller who goes by the name

She's been weeping for, turn her over
Easy in easy out we've nearly got this situation
Stabilized, just some winces to eradicate
Take a deep breath cut the blue wire
Keep your fingers crossed and pray she's been detached
She stirs and I'm emasculated
Doctor! Doctor! Give her the blues
She got herself a varsity letter by loving you

Breach and clear the abandoned back seat of the Cadillac
We've been altered by the local authorities
That regret has been seen on the grounds
Teasing the dogs, making the rounds
There's a heart shaped bed in the honeymoon
Ward that circulates dust
Twitches and vomits in fits like the damned

Comforts none but the sloth yet we pay
By the hour for the bricklayers view
Johnny, dream of your gun, goddammit it Commander
She's a hopeless case, note the time she arrived
I didn't think we would lose another one to the sound
There were too many fangs for us to tame

Someone fetch her blue eyes from a restroom wall downtown
She stirs, we underestimated
Doctor! Doctor! Give me the news
She caught herself a cause of the wilds by loving you
She caught a bad case of the wilds and she flat lines

    well not trying to be morbid. but i think this song is about a woman who parties too much and possibly overdoses and maybe gets raped. thorazine is a tranquilizer that was associated with being used as a date rape drug occasionally. with lines like she stirs and im emasculated and easy in and easy out and a bad case of the wilds they all have a sexual nature. i think it is suppose to sound mildly like a doctor visit but at the same time if you read it thinking she got picked up at the bar and is being date raped it makes sense as well.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
