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.
The daylight's gone.
The empty streets echo our past and the days that once were so beautiful.
Before now.
Before us.
So save yourself.
'Cause all dreams are gone.
And all hope has faded.
And as the sunlight fails I watch this world slip away.
And we smiled as we betrayed ourselfes.
And a clear sky is only a distant memory.
Our worst intentions carried away on the evening breathe.
Everything we lived for draws our final thought around our necks.
Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end.
One more time one more line.
What is this hell.
Reminisce to the beginning of everything.
But the irony alone would kill me.
Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one.
End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn befrore my eyes.
'Cause all dreams are gone.
And all hope has faded.
And as the sunlight fails I watch this world slip away.
Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and its freezing my blod until the end.
Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one.
End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn.
I can see our lives.
I can see our lives burn.
Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end.
As we just let it slip away.
The empty streets echo our past and the days that once were so beautiful.
Before now.
Before us.
So save yourself.
'Cause all dreams are gone.
And all hope has faded.
And as the sunlight fails I watch this world slip away.
And we smiled as we betrayed ourselfes.
And a clear sky is only a distant memory.
Our worst intentions carried away on the evening breathe.
Everything we lived for draws our final thought around our necks.
Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end.
One more time one more line.
What is this hell.
Reminisce to the beginning of everything.
But the irony alone would kill me.
Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one.
End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn befrore my eyes.
'Cause all dreams are gone.
And all hope has faded.
And as the sunlight fails I watch this world slip away.
Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and its freezing my blod until the end.
Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one.
End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn.
I can see our lives.
I can see our lives burn.
Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end.
As we just let it slip away.

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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
I think it comes down to one single person (a girl) who completely destroyed the world around her (eg. Pandora, unleashing evil by opening Pandora's box.) "Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one."
