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.
Intro:
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie – 2
Verse-1:
The moon there will be shimmering
Underneath I’ll rightly be waiting.
Lovie dovie ! Lovie dovie little birdies
They’ll sing sweet nothing
You will feel that so inebriating
Refrain:
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
Verse-2:
Flora – fauna they live mutually
To human beings, truly friendly
How can I live? How can I live a minute
Without your loving?
Like a tree’s oxygen to human being
Refrain:
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
Verse-3:
You should neither hurt a flora
Nor tear apart a flower
Nor you rile up a fauna
They should never be hurt
Shouldn’t be torn apart
Not even be riled up
The wild fauna. The wild fauna
Let’em stay safe in the sanctuary
As in your heart my heart lies snuggly
Refrain:
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie – 2
Verse-1:
The moon there will be shimmering
Underneath I’ll rightly be waiting.
Lovie dovie ! Lovie dovie little birdies
They’ll sing sweet nothing

Refrain:
**Into the woods step along discretely, dear Honey
Mid nightly right there be, Lovie.
Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **
Verse-2:

Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery, my Honey
Midnightly right there be, Lovie **

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
The song " Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery" is an English rendition of the popular Bangla song " Nishithe jaio fulo bone". The original Bangla song is a romantic one while this English rendition in Mozammal Hoque Tipu's lyrics is about hailing the environment and our responsibility to keep it safe.
So this is an ecological song in the guise of a romantic one. The singer or her lover is not the protagonist of the song - she is only the mouthpiece of the actual protagonist - the ecology.
The crucial need for an ecological balance is echoed in the metaphors like "oxygen", "truely friendly" etc.
The line "Into the woods step alone discretely" refers to our responsibility to keep safe the ecology, not to cause any harm to it. The same urge is pronounced in the subsequent phrases like " You should neither hurt a flora // Nor tear apart a flower // Nor you rile up a fauna // They should never be hurt // Shouldn’t be torn apart // Not even be riled up"
In the verse " The wild fauna - Let’em stay safe in the sanctuary - As in your heart my heart lies snuggly", there is one thing to notice, here the singer does not compare their love with the nature's elements' snuggly co-existence. Rather it is vice-versa. She rather personifies the "fauna" as the protagonist and compares the fauna - sanctuary relation with their love affair.
To conclude, the flora and fauna are the protagonists of the song and the singer is the mouthpiece of the protagonists. It is needless to say for our happy and healthy living we must care our environment and there should be more songs written on environment.
