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.
And I feel all the faint morning light
Filled with hope 'cause you're here in my life
And we've gone from the edge of our souls
Made it back to a place we call home
You see me through
I was alone in the dark
And the fear was my truth
Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
We'll light up the stars
All that you are
I feel wrong, I'm so human and flawed
I'll break down even though I'm still strong
And time will make fools of us all
Build us up and then laughs when we fall
You pull me through
When I'm alone in the dark
And the fear is my truth
Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
You'll light up the stars
All that you are
You're the sound of redemption
The faith that I've lost
The answers I'm seeking no matter the cost
You opened the window
Now I can see and you taught me forgiveness
By giving your love back to me
Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
Let your heart sing and tonight
You'll light up the stars
All that you are
Oh I feel all the faint morning light
Still there's hope
'Cause you're here in my life
Filled with hope 'cause you're here in my life
And we've gone from the edge of our souls
Made it back to a place we call home
You see me through
I was alone in the dark
And the fear was my truth
Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
We'll light up the stars
All that you are
I feel wrong, I'm so human and flawed
I'll break down even though I'm still strong
And time will make fools of us all
Build us up and then laughs when we fall
You pull me through
When I'm alone in the dark
And the fear is my truth
Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
You'll light up the stars
All that you are
You're the sound of redemption
The faith that I've lost
The answers I'm seeking no matter the cost
You opened the window
Now I can see and you taught me forgiveness
By giving your love back to me
Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
Let your heart sing and tonight
You'll light up the stars
All that you are
Oh I feel all the faint morning light
Still there's hope
'Cause you're here in my life

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."

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.
Both of your suggestions make perfect sense.
