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.
could this be the one i followed?
could this be the one i've given faith?
i know i know i know you care
i know i know i know you care
all at once a star is frozen
all at once my memory fades away
but i know i know i know you care
i know i know i know you care
peace falling into my life
why won't you follow?
words falling into my way
what do i say?
gave you all a man could borrow
and all the time you've hidden this away
i know i know i know you care
i know i know i know you care
faith falling out of my life
faith did you fuck him?
love moving out of my way
why should i stay?
words from the mouth of my friend
and i had to believe him
when we talked about the things you used to say
every second day
words take ahold of my memory
as history changes
and if i could just forget it all tonight
that would be alright
years falling out of my life
why don't you follow?
love falling out of the way
why should i stay?
words falling into my life
what should i write?
i know i know i know you care
i know i know i know you care
i know i know i know you care
i know i know i know you care
"...I confess, I confess... I confess and I apologize in advance too. I apologize in advance for unforeseen sins forthcoming. I apologize for unforeseen sins of the forces of the foreskin. I couldn't have foreseen they were forthcoming and, and since it was the fourth time and since him being the only one on the scene for a sin, forsooth, so lowly, on second sight on my part, Lord, just call me Forsythia! Forsythia, forlorn, forsaken. Forgive me Lord, for I have fucked and not loved..."

Silent Planet
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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
