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.
I know you know you're lost
And ready to go home at any cost
For all your places roamed
All you've found is loss
And now you feel like
Everything is gone...
Too far away
And further still with every step you take
I know you'll be OK
You'll bend and if you break
You've got everything it takes
Say it again
What you're waiting for
Sing a little louder
Let's be honest
All this talk about something more
Doesn't have to be a broken promise
You are here
And I am here with you
(Say it again
What you're waiting for)
Say it again
What you're waiting for
You'll fall
You'll get back up
Show your face to this defeat
With your chin up
And with every move you make
You will leave it in your wake
Embrace the real, forget the fake
So say it again
What you're waiting for
Sing a little louder
Let's be honest
All this talk about something more
Doesn't have to be a broken promise
You are here
And I am here with you
(Say it again
What you're waiting for)
Say it again
What you're waiting for
Somebody should have warned you
Everything you leave unsaid
It all goes down with the ship
And lives in the depths
You may be broken
But you're piecing it together now
You may be fearless while you're swinging
But you're striking out
So say it again
What you're waiting for
Sing a little louder
Let's be honest
All this talk about something more
Doesn't have to be a broken promise
You are here
And I am here with you
(Say it again
What you're waiting for)
So say it again
What you're waiting for
Sing a little louder
Let's be honest
All this talk about something more
Doesn't have to be a broken promise
You are here
And I am here with you
(Say it again
What you're waiting for)
So say it again
Say it again
(Say it again
What you're waiting for)
So say it again
(Say it again
What you're waiting for)
You are here
And I am here with you
(Say it again
What you're waiting for)
So say it again what you're waiting for
And ready to go home at any cost
For all your places roamed
All you've found is loss
And now you feel like
Everything is gone...
Too far away
And further still with every step you take
I know you'll be OK
You'll bend and if you break

So say it again what you're waiting for

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
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
