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.
You know that I'd die for
I cry for
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I breathe for
I bleed for
You know that I breathe for you
Let me see my halo
Even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
I keep holding my breath for a miracle
Hoping the hole in my heart would've healed somehow
Feeling so fucking close to the edge right now
You know you're everything I hate
I wish I could escape
But you know I would die for you
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I breathe for
I'd bleed for
You know that I breathe for you
Let me see my halo
Even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
'Cause I've died inside
A thousand times
But still I kill myself for you
'Cause the truth of it
You could slit my wrists
And I'd write your name in a heart with the hemorrhage
Got me so fucking close to the edge right now
You know it's you I need to kick
You make me feel like shit
And I don't want to die for you (die for you)
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I breathe for
I bleed for
You know that I breathe for you
Let me see my halo
Even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
This isn't love
This is a car crash
This isn't love
This is a blood bath
This isn't love
This is a sentence
It's a bullet in the head
This isn't love
This is a car crash
This isn't love
This is a blood bath
This isn't love
This is a sentence
It's a bullet in the head
So pull the trigger
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you (I'd die for you)
You know that I breathe for
I'd bleed for
You know that I breathe for you
Let me see my halo
Even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
I cry for
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I breathe for
I bleed for
You know that I breathe for you
Let me see my halo
Even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
I keep holding my breath for a miracle
Hoping the hole in my heart would've healed somehow
Feeling so fucking close to the edge right now
You know you're everything I hate
I wish I could escape
But you know I would die for you
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I breathe for
I'd bleed for
You know that I breathe for you
Let me see my halo
Even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
'Cause I've died inside

You know that I'd die for
I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you

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."

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
the lyrics are "goddamn close to the edge" but I\'ve only heard it on the radio so maybe I\'m wrong
