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.
I am taken
I am not my own
I am floating
Teach me how to fly
I am Solomon
Waiting to sing his song
I am for you, I am for you
And I am older
But I feel so new
I am unfaithful
I am true
You know I'm so in love with you
I am all these things
But I'm nothing without you
I am not my own
I am floating
Teach me how to fly
I am Solomon
Waiting to sing his song
I am for you, I am for you
And I am older
But I feel so new
I am unfaithful
I am true
You know I'm so in love with you
I am all these things
But I'm nothing without you

Mountain Song

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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Finally, a song without the influence of failed relationships and worldly love. No offense to the other listeners of this band, but i can connect with this song so much more because it talks about the only relationship that i forever enjoy having: My relationship with Christ. As a Christian, songs like this bring a whole new passion for Christ. "Song of Solomon" Old Testament book in the Bible. First Stanza: Talks about being enthralled with Christ and living your life like Jesus did [i am not my own]. Then it talking about how trusting in God gives you freedom from walking in this dark world and asking God to lead you Second Stanza: Calling to God to give what we need, His gudience, His grace. Third Stanza: Talks about being reborn in Christ, but we are all born sinners and we can't help but be unfaithful at times, but we pray to him in truth [because of the shed blood on the cross]. Forth Stanza: Showing love for God and giving our all to Him, but realizing that its not enough, we're not able to give enough. And without him, we are nothing but worldly vessels that have nothing to live for besides our own desires.
I encourage all of you that need love like this in your life. You won't be disappointed by God, only by what the world preaches and the darkness that consumes us. Songs like this make me tear-up because by God's grace i've come to know a neverending love that will bless me for all eternity. -God Bless
in all honestly, from the lyrics, it does seem like its about god/christ. if they are influenced by their religion, then i dont see why its a problem.
Definitely a song about his relationship with God. I love it! :D
youre annoying with your god shit.
