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”
I'm tired of faking
Telling myself I'm fine
I'm tired of pretending
That I've let you out of
My mind
Though the mornings got easier
And the moments are far and few
It's those little moment
I smile 'cause I'm thinking of you
And it's been so long so long
But,
I don't wanna
I don't wanna no
I don't wanna
Forget about you
I'll make love to your memory
Rather than any
Lover that comes my way
'Cause winter's gone and now
Flower's bloom still
I don't wanna I don't wanna forget
Sitting and waiting for miracles
To come
But days pass like minutes
And I know you're not alone
I should try to let go
And find some new lips to kiss
But mine remain sealed like a fortress
Coz baby it's yours that I miss
And though it's been so long so long,
I don't wanna
I don't wanna no
I don't wanna
Forget about you
I'll make love to your memory
Rather than any
Lover that comes my way
'Cause winter's gone and now
Flower's bloom still
I don't wanna I don't wanna forget
Dicen que nuevos amores te quitan el dolor
Yo prefiero amarte de nuevo en mi imaginación
Sé que es una locura seguir esperándote
Pero nada me queda si pierdo también la fe
Y tanto tiempo ya paso
I don't wanna
I don't wanna no
I don't wanna
Forget about you
I'll make love to your memory
Rather than any
Lover that comes my way
'Cause winter's gone and now
Flower's bloom still
I don't wanna I don't wanna forget
Telling myself I'm fine
I'm tired of pretending
That I've let you out of
My mind
Though the mornings got easier
And the moments are far and few
It's those little moment
I smile 'cause I'm thinking of you
And it's been so long so long
But,
I don't wanna
I don't wanna no
I don't wanna
Forget about you
I'll make love to your memory
Rather than any
Lover that comes my way
'Cause winter's gone and now
Flower's bloom still
I don't wanna I don't wanna forget
Sitting and waiting for miracles
To come
But days pass like minutes
And I know you're not alone
I should try to let go
And find some new lips to kiss
But mine remain sealed like a fortress
Coz baby it's yours that I miss
And though it's been so long so long,
I don't wanna
I don't wanna no
I don't wanna
Forget about you
I'll make love to your memory
Rather than any
Lover that comes my way
'Cause winter's gone and now
Flower's bloom still
I don't wanna I don't wanna forget
Dicen que nuevos amores te quitan el dolor
Yo prefiero amarte de nuevo en mi imaginación
Sé que es una locura seguir esperándote
Pero nada me queda si pierdo también la fe
Y tanto tiempo ya paso
I don't wanna
I don't wanna no
I don't wanna
Forget about you
I'll make love to your memory
Rather than any
Lover that comes my way
'Cause winter's gone and now
Flower's bloom still
I don't wanna I don't wanna forget

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 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."
