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.
And away we go
And I hope that you know
That one day, we will all be alone
Holding on to broken hearts
Memories are what's left of us
You're trying to hard to be my friend
And I'm placing all our pictures
In these broken frames to remind me never fall in love again
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name and forget my face hope you get on a plane and forget this place
So I never have to deal with you again
And away we go
And I hope that you know
That one day, we will all be alone
Maybe now I'll figure out
That life is one big question how am I supposed to grow
When I'm stuck inside this state well I'll never know
Your falling faster then the shooting star you wished your body on
(your body on)
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name and forget my face hope you get on a plane and forget this place
So I never have to deal with you again
And I never felt so high as my back is to the ground
And we're staring at the stars making faces at the clouds
But all those days are gone the memories put to rest
And if you want to see my youth your gonna have to dig deep in my chest
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name, forget my face
So I never have to deal with you again
And I hope that you know
That one day, we will all be alone
Holding on to broken hearts
Memories are what's left of us
You're trying to hard to be my friend
And I'm placing all our pictures
In these broken frames to remind me never fall in love again
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name and forget my face hope you get on a plane and forget this place
So I never have to deal with you again
And away we go
And I hope that you know
That one day, we will all be alone
Maybe now I'll figure out
That life is one big question how am I supposed to grow
When I'm stuck inside this state well I'll never know
Your falling faster then the shooting star you wished your body on
(your body on)
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name and forget my face hope you get on a plane and forget this place
So I never have to deal with you again
And I never felt so high as my back is to the ground
And we're staring at the stars making faces at the clouds
But all those days are gone the memories put to rest
And if you want to see my youth your gonna have to dig deep in my chest
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name, forget my face
So I never have to deal with you again

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i love valenciaaaa. they're absolutely incredible. this song is amazing, too. one of my favs. the meaning is pretty straight forward. his ex is trying to get back with him, but he doesnt want her back because she's screwed up and hurt him too many times.
