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 stroke your silken skin, kiss you goodbye, your eyes just pierce me through
I am bleeding with blood I'd give to you, to be the way we were
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
We sat and watched the sun go down
We wrapped together in each other's arms
Never felt so complete as when we're alone on the sand at night
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
I love the way your hair hangs over your eyes, crush me with your stare
If I could fly to you I would to be the way we were
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
It's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now.
I am bleeding with blood I'd give to you, to be the way we were
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
We sat and watched the sun go down
We wrapped together in each other's arms
Never felt so complete as when we're alone on the sand at night
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
I love the way your hair hangs over your eyes, crush me with your stare
If I could fly to you I would to be the way we were
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
It's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now.

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."

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
It is 'Thoughts once pure are now diluted' and it gets me every time, I feel this is a song I can relate to in many different ways. Also notice that the song is 3:27 long, conincidence possibly? Probably actually, scrap that.
I love it, its amazing.
this is a real stab in the dark, perhaps it is how many hours or days have passed since his breakup with the girl, 27 hours / 57 hours. shows the development of his thoughts about the breakup
i'd forgotten how much i loved this song. It's just so beautiful.
I thought this was really beautiful... all too familiar feelings though
i'd forgotten how much i loved this song. It's just so beautiful.
fools, those lyrics are wrong. it's
I stroke your silken skin, kiss you goodbye, your eyes just pierce me through I am bleeding with blood I’d give to you, to be the way we were I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
We sat and watched the sin go down We wrapped together in each other’s arms Never felt so complete as when we’re alone on the sand at night
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
I love the way your hair hangs over your eyes, crush me with your stare If I could fly to you I would to be the way we were I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted It’s alright now, It’s alright now, It’s alright now, It’s alright now
I heard that this song is about the same girl as 57.
It is. As scary as it sounds, all his love songs (and many others) are about just one woman, Francesca Peroni - his wife. The feelings he has for her must be incredible.
my fave line is "I love the way your hair hangs over your eyes, crush me with your stare" i dunno what it is but yeah..i like it!
Isn't it "thoughts once pure now diluted"?
I'm drunk and if I'm wrong i'm not too fussed tbh, diluted makes more sense though. Nothing is pure when it's diluted though :)
My fave line is also the one referrin to the way the hair hangs over your eyes... i gets me eveytime i listen to it!
