He certainly did earn that reputation.
I could not stay, I was pierced by your modern way
Woman took me in weight
But virture's gonna get me out
If irreverence is in your line
Honey, I couldn't blame you for that
No, but your family thinks I'm alright
When you stab me like God
Stab me like Old-testament God
They pray for me, and I know they do
Because I think I feel God sometimes
Monster in the closet calls, "Come here!"
But my ears were full of blood
And iron from your metal words
Who put me in my place
You could come into my house
You never talk about divinity
Bring hell to my walls
I think you need to go home
You stain the pulpit with whiskey
You're spitting blood on my shoes
I bet you think you've got it bad
Well I don't think you've got it bad
I'm sick of fending your fangs
You had it out for me
You had it out for me
Oh why the hell you want me?
Oh why the hell you want me?
Woman took me in weight
But virture's gonna get me out
If irreverence is in your line
Honey, I couldn't blame you for that
No, but your family thinks I'm alright
When you stab me like God
Stab me like Old-testament God
They pray for me, and I know they do
Because I think I feel God sometimes
Monster in the closet calls, "Come here!"
But my ears were full of blood
And iron from your metal words
Who put me in my place
You could come into my house
You never talk about divinity
Bring hell to my walls
I think you need to go home
You stain the pulpit with whiskey
You're spitting blood on my shoes
I bet you think you've got it bad
Well I don't think you've got it bad
I'm sick of fending your fangs
You had it out for me
You had it out for me
Oh why the hell you want me?
Oh why the hell you want me?

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.

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."
