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”
Wolves beset this fallen church of blasphemy
Orgies in blood shall deflorate its purity
Defecate on the liars book of sick belief
No one shall be saved the way to hell has here been paved
A din of stained glass fragments
Cut your flesh to the bone
Baptized in black blood
Hymen breached with a cross
Children of your lord
Semen peppers their faces
We seek to distort
Our kingdom shall come
Rise! The dead burst forth from ancient tombs
The steaming bowels of seraphs violently strewn
Hell is here sermons backwards preach death and doom
Flagellate and rape bloodlet the pilgrims of their faith
Drain them of their sanctity
Perpetuate their tragedy
Infect them with all our disease
Mock his altar of deceit
With hell reborn
Your Christ be scorned
Diabolic ritual open the portal to damnation
Dark legions gathering for virtuous insemination
Molest and sodomize deride the seed of god's creation
Impale the Nazarene succumb to spiritual inversion
In our unholy fathers disgusting house of shame
We revel in endless hatred burning so absolute
Corrupting all who'd enter here surrender to darkness
We kneel to those no more who'd burden and beguilt
Within these wretched walls a summoning proceeds
What form will manifest of this abysmal devilry
The children now are bleeding we eunuchate his sons
To evil blood and fire this earth will soon succumb
With hell reborn
Your Christ be scorned
Dead faith now torn
His love deformed
Orgies in blood shall deflorate its purity
Defecate on the liars book of sick belief
No one shall be saved the way to hell has here been paved
A din of stained glass fragments
Cut your flesh to the bone
Baptized in black blood
Hymen breached with a cross
Children of your lord
Semen peppers their faces
We seek to distort
Our kingdom shall come
Rise! The dead burst forth from ancient tombs
The steaming bowels of seraphs violently strewn
Hell is here sermons backwards preach death and doom
Flagellate and rape bloodlet the pilgrims of their faith
Drain them of their sanctity
Perpetuate their tragedy
Infect them with all our disease
Mock his altar of deceit
With hell reborn
Your Christ be scorned
Diabolic ritual open the portal to damnation
Dark legions gathering for virtuous insemination
Molest and sodomize deride the seed of god's creation
Impale the Nazarene succumb to spiritual inversion
In our unholy fathers disgusting house of shame
We revel in endless hatred burning so absolute
Corrupting all who'd enter here surrender to darkness
We kneel to those no more who'd burden and beguilt
Within these wretched walls a summoning proceeds
What form will manifest of this abysmal devilry
The children now are bleeding we eunuchate his sons
To evil blood and fire this earth will soon succumb
With hell reborn
Your Christ be scorned
Dead faith now torn
His love deformed

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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Love these lyrics. HAIL SATAN!
