This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I was dreaming of you
You were in my dreams
My old pal looks shaky with a cigarette in his hand
Salt and pepper sprinkled on his face and on his head
Looks like he might start crying
Is it just something that I said?
Let's take a walk around the block
This fleeting feeling is infinite
Around here we've been wondering what tomorrow's going to sing
On the final field recording from the loud Anthropocene
I've seen the sparkle of the diamonds on the watch of the emcee
It's not keeping time, just shining
It's not the first time you said, one and done
And oh my god
And oh my god
Stood in your prom dress all covered in blood
What you sacrificed will never be enough
This whole town looks empty but we knew it wouldn't last
Behind bulletproof windows they're still wiring the cash
Whatever they could scrape up, whatever that they had
There's a lot of mouths to feed through this famine
This room seems even smaller now than I remember it
Hung mirrors on the walls and the ceiling
There's no disguising it
There's no denying it
This little box fits everything there is
It's not the first dance you said, one and done
And oh my god
Baby oh my god
Came to the wedding you were looking rough
Watch the masochists all celebrating love
Hey
Come up
Come up
You were in my dreams
My old pal looks shaky with a cigarette in his hand
Salt and pepper sprinkled on his face and on his head
Looks like he might start crying
Is it just something that I said?
Let's take a walk around the block
This fleeting feeling is infinite
Around here we've been wondering what tomorrow's going to sing
On the final field recording from the loud Anthropocene
I've seen the sparkle of the diamonds on the watch of the emcee
It's not keeping time, just shining
It's not the first time you said, one and done
And oh my god
And oh my god
Stood in your prom dress all covered in blood
What you sacrificed will never be enough
This whole town looks empty but we knew it wouldn't last
Behind bulletproof windows they're still wiring the cash
Whatever they could scrape up, whatever that they had
There's a lot of mouths to feed through this famine
This room seems even smaller now than I remember it
Hung mirrors on the walls and the ceiling
There's no disguising it
There's no denying it
This little box fits everything there is
It's not the first dance you said, one and done
And oh my god
Baby oh my god
Came to the wedding you were looking rough
Watch the masochists all celebrating love
Hey
Come up
Come up

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.
Well, I think this song is about cheating someone repeatedly or also talks about a compulsive addiction that ends up being so destructive, so as the line says "...what you sacrificed will never be enough." And again the main character of the song is a woman, which at a moment fits perfectly with "Carrie" the main character from Stephen's King Novel. The full circle of this song is complete when the line states "watch the masochists all celebrating love", which offers a desolate picture of how selfish behaviors just end up ruing relationships when people emotionally damaged just can't hold a healthy love story.
