This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
hese days i'm drifting down dark empty halls where
the paintings are wishes hung burning like stars and
i'm kneeling and weeping and mourning their passing
realizing i'm foolish with all my reaching backwards
and your eyes pale and green haunt me from the canvas
they're saying i'm sorry and sorry is all that is left
of us the words they are hollow an shaped just like a
stranger i don't recognize this girl but i believe i
once knew her when i was younger
we chased fireflies all night and put them in a jar we
added grass and some sticks to make um feel at home we
thought we'd make some kinda firefly lantern but they
fluttered and died of asphyxiation
that night we slept in a sleeping bag on the lawn the
wind quietly blew the trees shuddered in song lulled to
sleep by the message that emerged from the ground like
a heart beat so constant assuring it's here you belong
oh love, it's here you belong
in this empty spot in my bed where your body once was
with a head on my chest fingers tracing lines on (my
arms) those tiny hands whispering you were spelling i
love you right from this spot not anymore but you used
to you used to smile and say i can't wait 'till we
have our own place some day with a dog and i'll get to
name him an there'll be no one to wake us everyday we
could sleep in if we wanted
the paintings are wishes hung burning like stars and
i'm kneeling and weeping and mourning their passing
realizing i'm foolish with all my reaching backwards
and your eyes pale and green haunt me from the canvas
they're saying i'm sorry and sorry is all that is left
of us the words they are hollow an shaped just like a
stranger i don't recognize this girl but i believe i
once knew her when i was younger

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."

Punchline

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.
