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”
STOP ! This feels like giving up…
was it just too fucking good ?
Watch yourself, mama ! Pack your bags !
I’ll crash into the sun before I let us float away into nothing .
Its cold outside your love,
well who’s fucking crazy now ?
Go ahead bitch ! Scream your lies !
I’ll rip you right out of my head
So here lies sick unsweetened sex appeal .
Its cyclical, your typical routine .
And so I’ll scream this in your face
but I can promise you’ll feel it between your legs .
Place the blame of blatant latent infancy
of intimacy squarely on affairs
where she was barely there emotionally !
And I could blame this on the pills,
or your family and friends but let’s be honest,
you’ve always kind of been a whore…
How’d you see a man like me
and think you were even worthy of his time ?
Take a good hard look,
cause now’s your second chance, yea .
Toss and turn while you’re thinking of me as you sleep;
it’s only natural to cry…
but shut those pretty eyes
Kiss me hard baby breathe through your fucking nose
See what you’re doing to me ?
But still…
Despite the many ways she fucked my head she never blew my mind .
And maybe this ain't what you came to see but I’m broken hearted
And since its my song and my sound and my screams and my fucking words to sing
you’ll sink your rotting gums into this .
Leave how you came if you cant stomach bullshit .
And since its my song and my words I’ll scream this in your face
and you’ll fall in love and you’ll beg for me
How’d you see a man like me
and think you were even worthy of his time ?
Take a good hard look,
cause now’s your second chance, yea .
Toss and turn while you’re thinking of me as you sleep;
it’s only natural to cry…
but shut those pretty eyes
She seemed sincere as each sin seared her tongue .
React, you worthless whore, you worthless whore .
Sink your rotting gums into this
leave how you came if you can’t stomach bullshit
Maybe this ain't what you came to see but I’m broken hearted !
Bitch, you got so many chances !
And so I’ll scream this in your face
but you will feel it right where he fucks you .
Please, love, just break how I want you to break
was it just too fucking good ?
Watch yourself, mama ! Pack your bags !
I’ll crash into the sun before I let us float away into nothing .
Its cold outside your love,
well who’s fucking crazy now ?
Go ahead bitch ! Scream your lies !
I’ll rip you right out of my head
So here lies sick unsweetened sex appeal .
Its cyclical, your typical routine .
And so I’ll scream this in your face
but I can promise you’ll feel it between your legs .
Place the blame of blatant latent infancy
of intimacy squarely on affairs
where she was barely there emotionally !

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 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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think this song is a display of emotion. It's about a man who was cheated on by his girlfriend, obviously, but the lyrics are arranged in an ingenious way. He asks the girl how she can think she's worthy of him, says she's a whore and a liar, but the singer is screaming the words as if he's in pain. And he says he's broken-hearted. He's not just angry, but hurt that she would do such a thing. He's taking his comfort in trying to hurt her back. But he tries to make it look like he regards her as trash. It's really a beautiful song, lyrically.
According to Chris (the drummer), Benny (the lead singer) wrote this song after his girlfriend cheated on him with Joe (the guitarist).

CarouselRiot That's exactly the case. The first few songs on The Circus are about her.
