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.
Weekends are for the warriors
All those late nights walkin' through front doors at daybreak
Raise all of the glasses high
This one's to all of us sittin' around here on Friday night
I remember eighteen hated Mondays
And sittin' and starin' at the clock dyin' to get away
Don't look back and have no regrets
We only got two days and time won't wait for us
I couldn't ask for a better place to be
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than this
I've been to hell and back
All the snow storms
And the bathroom stalls
Which you pulled me out of
I'll be there
Like you've been there
My word's my bond
Don't stand alone, you can count on me
I couldn't ask for a better place to be
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than this
We fight this fight to stay free
And never say, never
If you leave this choice up to me
I'll stay young forever
(Stay young)
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than this
Weekends are for the warriors
All those late nights walkin' through front doors at daybreak
Raise all of the glasses high
This one's to all of us sittin' around here on Friday night
I remember eighteen hated Mondays
And sittin' and starin' at the clock dyin' to get away
Don't look back and have no regrets
We only got two days and time won't wait for us
I couldn't ask for a better place to be
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than
This can't last forever
Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than this
I've been to hell and back

Raise a glass together
Doesn't get much better
No better than this

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Although it's obvious, this song is about Torry Jasper's high school years and the parties he attended.

"Weekends are for the warriors" Weekend Warrior means someone who hits up joints, or gets drunk every weekend. so like saying weekends are for the warriors is true, because people like me. lazy, and never have plans, always sit around doing nothing, while the people who are fearless, go out and party all weekend.
I remember eighteen" Hated Mondays And sitting and staring at the clock dying to get away Don't look back" That part is obviously about high school, and how much of a drag it was to him, and how he doesn't want to remember it, because who wants to remember suffering?
"This can't last forever Raise a glass together"
means, being young won't last forever, lets make a toast together, before we all grow old and die.
"I've been to hell and back All the snow storms" kickass song
