Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Looks to me like heaven sent
No lullaby kid, no 5%
Any way you want to cut that cake
She's dyin' from the likes of abandonment
Lost in the valley without my horses
She needs somebody to hold
It looked to me like heaven
Sent this for your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Who's going to take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright?
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
It's a long walk down those tracks
It's a dirty walk in
It's a dirty walk back
Gonna learn oh way too much
Shootin' dope in the back of a Cadillac Jack
Slow down the road to my back 40
She needs somebody to hold
It looked to me like heaven
Sent this for your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Who's going to take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright?
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Down in the south seas
Give me your mouth please
Resuscitation is the way I find these
I give you major
You give me minor
Don't fade away
Like an ocean liner
Now
Lost in the valley without my horses
No-one can tell me what my remorse is
God made this lady that stands before me
She needs somebody to hold
She shows the world up with a smile
And then she throws the fight
She looks to me, she looks to me alright
Down on the bathroom floor
She's searching for another light
She looks to me, she looks to me alright
It looks to me like heaven
Sent this for your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Who's going to take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright
She looks to me
She looks to me...
No lullaby kid, no 5%
Any way you want to cut that cake
She's dyin' from the likes of abandonment
Lost in the valley without my horses
She needs somebody to hold
It looked to me like heaven
Sent this for your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Who's going to take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright?
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
It's a long walk down those tracks
It's a dirty walk in
It's a dirty walk back
Gonna learn oh way too much
Shootin' dope in the back of a Cadillac Jack
Slow down the road to my back 40
She needs somebody to hold
It looked to me like heaven
Sent this for your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Who's going to take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright?
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Down in the south seas
Give me your mouth please
Resuscitation is the way I find these
I give you major
You give me minor
Don't fade away
Like an ocean liner
Now
Lost in the valley without my horses
No-one can tell me what my remorse is
God made this lady that stands before me
She needs somebody to hold
She shows the world up with a smile
And then she throws the fight
She looks to me, she looks to me alright
Down on the bathroom floor
She's searching for another light
She looks to me, she looks to me alright
It looks to me like heaven
Sent this for your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Who's going to take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright
She looks to me
She looks to me...

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
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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This song is incredible! The guitar gives me shivers everytime I hear it. Music doesn't get any better than this, period.
"The Sun-Online (a UK mag or newspaper?)" said this song was about a girl Anthony dated who had a drug addiction and b/c of that, her life is being destroyed
Awesome song, I love the guitar strumming in the back, its addicting.
@TheNostrand agreed. but i think every guitar layer is addicting, do don't listen to me haha
It's about a girl Anthony met two years ago when he was finishing Scar Tissue, but it probably wasn't Yohanna because he met her a couple of years before that. The girl in the song was destroying herself with drugs and it made her and Anthony's relationship dysfunctional. She was in a bad place and Anthony wanted to save her.
This song is incredible. I love the lyrics and the guitar riffs are awesome.
woahhohohohooo -all i can say-
Well Yohanna Logan had a drug addiction, so it could be about her. She also has Slow Cheetah on this album about her, so it could be right.
Haha Just kidding.
Who's going to take you home And hold you when things aren't so bright?
i love that line
my fave along with snow...and all the others lol
