This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Scattered relics of your love Just lyin' round your dusty room
Bearing old souls, old men, old scars, dissonant wallow of guitars.
Burnin' off Indian sun on the water barges hung.
Through the bay window panes covers maginify and brings.?
Sleepy poet's perfect dream, pastel homes along the sea.
This I would, this I will: leave to join you in the hills.
For you I would, for you I will leave this for the auburn hills,
Find your old peeling house, find you out there
Hear the owl call from the tree, smell the midnight forest breeze
Shield you from this dark and night, wake you in the morning.
You came to me in a dream walkin down the path by the cold, icy stream
The white of the snow, coating the pines, in the Sierra wintertime,
You disappeared, You left me alone. In the old master room of my mountain home. (?)
And I called for you so many times and longed for one more day with you in my life.
And I longed for one more day with you in my life.
I see you there in my dreams, your poise is perfect, that of a statue as queen.
Your beautiful hair, your ocean blue eyes; You bear the depths of your losses inside
And I beg of you so many times, forgive me once and for all for all of my lies, to forgive me once and for all, for all of my lies
Oh mommy, the leaning tree like a diamond
As we pass the long dead grass, thirsty in the sun.
Memories rest beyond the broken fence. Let their spirits be.
The birds have left their mother's nest on the roses' thorns
There they swing over the bleach-white grain, sprawled over the hill.
Bearing old souls, old men, old scars, dissonant wallow of guitars.
Burnin' off Indian sun on the water barges hung.
Through the bay window panes covers maginify and brings.?
Sleepy poet's perfect dream, pastel homes along the sea.
This I would, this I will: leave to join you in the hills.
For you I would, for you I will leave this for the auburn hills,
Find your old peeling house, find you out there
Hear the owl call from the tree, smell the midnight forest breeze
Shield you from this dark and night, wake you in the morning.
You came to me in a dream walkin down the path by the cold, icy stream
The white of the snow, coating the pines, in the Sierra wintertime,
You disappeared, You left me alone. In the old master room of my mountain home. (?)
And I called for you so many times and longed for one more day with you in my life.
And I longed for one more day with you in my life.
I see you there in my dreams, your poise is perfect, that of a statue as queen.
Your beautiful hair, your ocean blue eyes; You bear the depths of your losses inside
And I beg of you so many times, forgive me once and for all for all of my lies, to forgive me once and for all, for all of my lies
Oh mommy, the leaning tree like a diamond
As we pass the long dead grass, thirsty in the sun.
Memories rest beyond the broken fence. Let their spirits be.
The birds have left their mother's nest on the roses' thorns
There they swing over the bleach-white grain, sprawled over the hill.

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."

Revised version of the lyrics from sadreminders.com/interaction/viewtopic.php :
Scattered relics of your loves Lying round your dusty bones Bearing old souls, opening old scars Dissonant wallow of guitars Burning off Indian sun On the water barges hum Through the bay window panes Colors magnify and glaze
Sleepy poets, perfect dream Pass our homes along the sea This I would, this I will Leave to join you in the hills
For you I would, for you I will Leave this for the auburn hills Find your old peeling house Find you out there
Hear the outcall from the tree Smell the midnight forest breathe Shield you from the stalking night Wake you in the morning
You came to me, in a dream Waking down the path by the cold icy stream
The white of the snow coating the pines In the sierra wintertime
You disappeared, you left me alone In the old master-room of my mountain home
And I called for you so many times And long for one more day with you in my life I long for one more day with you in my life
I see you there in my dreams Your poise is perfect, that of a statuesque queen
Your beautiful hair, your ocean blue eyes That bear the depths of your losses inside
And I begged of you so many times To forgive me once and for all, for all of my lies To forgive me once and for all, for all of my lies
Oh, Miami The leaning tree Like a dying hand
As we pass The long dead grass Thirsty in the sun
Memories rest Beyond the broken fence Let their spirits be
The birds have left Their mother's nest On the rose's thorns
There they sway Over the bleach white grey Sprawled over the hill
