This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I will carry you
If you follow me
Through the darkness of this day
In the center of nothingness
I will show the truth
On the writing of this place
In the moments of falling grace
I will wait for you
Push the world away
Winning life is the stronger truth
At the heart is you
And there is no other way than you know
The pain is on the edge of your heart
It's the only thing
I can take from you
Now
You know
The pain is on the edge of your heart
I will push it through
and I comfort you
and I comfort you
and I comfort you
Are you listening
To the inbetween
The quiet in you screams
It's the sound of the emptiness
That's a part of you
The inside's incomplete
I will show you another way
In the heart of you
The way that makes you see
When in life is the sharpened truth
In the heart is you
Now this makes you believe
You know
The pain is on the edge of your heart
It's the only thing
I can take from you
Now you know
The pain is on the edge of your heart
I will push it through
and I comfort you
and I comfort you
and I comfort you
I'm floating above you
I'm floating above you
I'm floating above you
and now you know
The pain is on the edge of your of your heart
This is a serenade
Screaming my life for you
Now when you came around
When you're feeling like coming down
It's almost over now
These words breathe through the cage
Dying in light for you
Now when you came around
When you're feeling like coming down
It's almost over now
It's almost over now
I'm on the edge of your heart
If you follow me
Through the darkness of this day
In the center of nothingness
I will show the truth
On the writing of this place
In the moments of falling grace
I will wait for you
Push the world away
Winning life is the stronger truth
At the heart is you
And there is no other way than you know
The pain is on the edge of your heart
It's the only thing
I can take from you
Now
You know
The pain is on the edge of your heart
I will push it through
and I comfort you
and I comfort you
and I comfort you
Are you listening
To the inbetween
The quiet in you screams
It's the sound of the emptiness
That's a part of you
The inside's incomplete
I will show you another way
In the heart of you
The way that makes you see
When in life is the sharpened truth
In the heart is you
Now this makes you believe
You know
The pain is on the edge of your heart
It's the only thing
I can take from you
Now you know
The pain is on the edge of your heart
I will push it through
and I comfort you
and I comfort you
and I comfort you
I'm floating above you
I'm floating above you
I'm floating above you
and now you know
The pain is on the edge of your of your heart
This is a serenade
Screaming my life for you
Now when you came around
When you're feeling like coming down
It's almost over now
These words breathe through the cage
Dying in light for you
Now when you came around
When you're feeling like coming down
It's almost over now
It's almost over now
I'm on the edge of your heart

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
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."

I will carry you If you follow me Through the darkness of this day In the center of nothingness I will show the truth On the writing of this place In the moments of falling grace I will wait for you Push the world away Winning life is the stronger truth At the heart is you And there is no other way than you know...... ----------

The pain is on the edge of your heart It's the only thing I can take from you Now You know The pain is on the edge of your heart I will push it through and I comfort you and I comfort you and I comfort you ------ this is so sweet....like he emphasizes and repeats that he's comforting her... cause she is crying hard and breaking down.... like I can't even explain... it's so beautiful when a guy comforts a woman and knows what kind of pain she is going through and wants to take it all away!!!
Are you listening To the inbetween The quiet in you screams . It's the sound of the emptiness That's a part of you -----------she's feeling like she has no hope left in her....and she doesn't want to explain her situation and have too much attention from anyone.... or let people think she is weak The inside's incomplete I will show you another way In the heart of you The way that makes you see When in life is the sharpened truth In the heart is you Now this makes you believe

This is a serenade Screaming my life for you----- he's expressing his love to her through his music. Now when you came around When you're feeling like coming down---- she is high...or both of them are high....

And she feels she ran out of time.....and he wrote this to tell her ...when you feel like coming around whenever you need me...... I'll still be here.
