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.
Yeah, here I stand before you
With my heart in my hand
I want you to greet it baby
Hopin' that you'll understand
I said baby
Honey please don't dog me around
Because I'd rather love you woman
Honey than anyone else I know in town
Because you're so nice and lovely
And you have such pleasant ways
If you take me to your heart
I'll be there the rest of my days
I said baby, that's the truth
Honey I declare I wouldn't lie
Because I'd rather love you baby
If I don't, I swear I hope I die
I said baby
Don't you want a man like me
Can you hear me woman
Don't you want a man like me
You just think
You just think about our future baby
And you forget about your used to be
Hey now, yeah, alright baby
When my days are long and dreary
And the sun refuse to shine
I would never be blue and lonely
Woman if I knew that you were mine
That's the truth baby
You can make everything alright
Can I see you today baby
Or will it have to be tomorrow night
Yes, this is my confession baby
And I'm thrilled by all your charms
It seems like I'm in heaven
When I hold you in my arms, baby
Woman, you can have me for yourself
You know I was meant for you baby
And I don't want nobody else
No I don't
Hey, you told me that you love me
Woman, you meant it from the start
You said that we would be together
Until death do us part
But you lied to me baby
Yes and you called it on the phone
Now how can I be happy woman
With all the wrong you've done
Now, must I keep confessin' baby
When you know just where I stand
I don't wanna lose you woman
Wanna keep you if I can
But baby, baby you know I've never had a friend
You're my one and only woman
You're all I have that stays
Now listen to me
With my heart in my hand
I want you to greet it baby
Hopin' that you'll understand
I said baby
Honey please don't dog me around
Because I'd rather love you woman
Honey than anyone else I know in town
Because you're so nice and lovely
And you have such pleasant ways
If you take me to your heart
I'll be there the rest of my days
I said baby, that's the truth
Honey I declare I wouldn't lie
Because I'd rather love you baby
If I don't, I swear I hope I die
I said baby
Don't you want a man like me
Can you hear me woman
Don't you want a man like me
You just think
You just think about our future baby
And you forget about your used to be
Hey now, yeah, alright baby
When my days are long and dreary
And the sun refuse to shine
I would never be blue and lonely
Woman if I knew that you were mine
That's the truth baby
You can make everything alright
Can I see you today baby
Or will it have to be tomorrow night
Yes, this is my confession baby
And I'm thrilled by all your charms
It seems like I'm in heaven
When I hold you in my arms, baby
Woman, you can have me for yourself
You know I was meant for you baby
And I don't want nobody else
No I don't
Hey, you told me that you love me
Woman, you meant it from the start
You said that we would be together
Until death do us part
But you lied to me baby
Yes and you called it on the phone
Now how can I be happy woman
With all the wrong you've done
Now, must I keep confessin' baby
When you know just where I stand
I don't wanna lose you woman
Wanna keep you if I can
But baby, baby you know I've never had a friend
You're my one and only woman
You're all I have that stays
Now listen to 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.
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."

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
