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.
Come to me I'll fill the hole
Why would I be lying
End fan, all planned out
Offering a wonderful
Peace of mind worth buying
Bow down last round up
I am wise and you don't know
A cloud is my home
Only some get in
Got a 'maginary friend
The devil put dinosaurs here
Jesus don't like a queer
The devil put dinosaurs here
No problem with faith just fear
Promise those who've gone before
Waitin' on you flyin'
Leading receiving us
I'm as flawed as any man
Look at me I'm smiling
Drink me, eat me up
I am wise and you don't know
A cloud is my home
Only some get in
Got a 'maginary friend
The devil put dinosaurs here
Jesus don't like a queer
The devil put dinosaurs here
No problem with faith just fear
I am wise and you don't know
A cloud is my home
Only some get in
Got a 'maginary friend
The devil put dinosaurs here
Jesus don't like a queer
The devil put dinosaurs here
No problem with faith
Fear
Liar
Why would I be lying
End fan, all planned out
Offering a wonderful
Peace of mind worth buying
Bow down last round up
I am wise and you don't know
A cloud is my home
Only some get in
Got a 'maginary friend
The devil put dinosaurs here
Jesus don't like a queer
The devil put dinosaurs here
No problem with faith just fear
Promise those who've gone before
Waitin' on you flyin'
Leading receiving us
I'm as flawed as any man
Look at me I'm smiling
Drink me, eat me up
I am wise and you don't know
A cloud is my home
Only some get in
Got a 'maginary friend
The devil put dinosaurs here
Jesus don't like a queer
The devil put dinosaurs here
No problem with faith just fear
I am wise and you don't know
A cloud is my home
Only some get in
Got a 'maginary friend
The devil put dinosaurs here
Jesus don't like a queer
The devil put dinosaurs here
No problem with faith
Fear
Liar

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Amazing

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.
I've always loved AIC. Of course Staley will always be missed. AIC's music has always been laced with references to Christianity. Surprises me how those who seem to dislike Jesus talk about Him so much. It's not Jesus who is the problem; it's the many fools who misrepresent Him.
Religion is a bag of lies.
@Zolhaye <br /> Couldn't agree more. Jesus is perfectly fine, it's the so-called Christians that make it sound dumb and something to laugh at.
This song is Jerry poking holes at the way Religious groups messages and "commandments" are contradicted with their beliefs and actions. There is religious parties that believe the devil put dinosaur bones deep in the ground to confuse the faithful. And to the religions like catholicism and others that say to be loving to your brother and treat others the way you want to be treated but then go out and attack the gays for being an "abomination".
Amen, Brother LRey. :P this is completely true. <3 love the new album!
Jerry seems that he's an anti-Semite, he doesn't the mother of all religions, he hates Jews obviously and not only because they are hypocrites. He's hates their very culture and past which is tied to their religion.
Well, that's sad that you know nothing about Catholicism, but then again, you're probably American or sth and you guys do not have Catholicism in your country. Catholic religion does not say about "homosexuals being an abomination" - it respects ALL people, underlining that homosexuality is a sin, which for Catholics is. Just think for a moment before you write something. Catholicism HAS NEVER BEEN a religion of hate.
@becca10000 not sure how you got antisemitism from these lyrics??
I think there's a very important line that no one is talking about.
"No problem with faith, just fear"
It's not just a song about the hypocracy of Christianity. It's really a song about how both sides of the religion argument (God/Science) are hypocritical and that the argument will never end. "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here) is a statement that means all science and religion do is cause arguments. I don't like the parts dissing Jesus, but the message is partially true. The argument just keeps going like an Energizer battery.
Jerry may have authored those lyrics, but the parts of the song where Jesus is "dissed" represent giving voice to those freaks who surround themselves with silly myths and hatred in an attempt at making sense out of life. Anyone who's read about Jesus' life knows he was never reported (I write reported because nothing he actually said was written down when he said it) to have said something terrible about homosexuals. Therefore, neither Jerry nor the song is dissing Jesus, but instead is meant to represent attitude of the fools who believes Jesus hated gays. (I like what you wrote about the song possibly being about the dichotomy between religion and science and how it spins off endlessly replicated arguments.)
I feel like this is not only about trying to paint religious people as hypocrites but to emphasize that there will always be people who criticize religion and Christians. Definitely not their best song....
Keep in mind that your taste in music does not always have to line up with your beliefs. I am a Christian and I'm a big fan of Alice In Chains, as well as Nirvana, Tool, and Pearl Jam, all of whom have songs that openly criticize God and religion
@Alice_in_Soundweezer <br /> All of those grunge bands you mentioned are speaking through the esoteric language. None are artists of the language, only puppet speakers of a language written by faces they will never see. In grunge lies the language of ancient wisdom.
Is it possible that this song is pointing out that dinosaurs are fake?
It's cut and dry. Two significant lies told from birth.
Dinosaurs are a lie Jesus is a lie
Both inventions of Satan, who is very much real
Right on! Couldn't of said it better myself, from a reformed Irish Catholic girl.
@Michelle324 <br /> Sorry that was in response to DixonSydar who was responding to becca10000 since she likes pointing fingers as Christians always seem to do.
