“909” is a song about emptiness and being tired of living in repeating cycles. The song, along with a music video, was released on April 24th 2019.
The song was first performed by EDEN on his 2018 vertigo world tour, where it was commonly referred to by fans as “dive,” or “dive in.”
[Verse 1]
So hold on if you want
I don't wanna play this, no
I don't have the patience
And last year was a long one
And these days are reruns
A fine time for a breakdown
Let's find words to tear these walls down
And I threw them all away
If I start then I probably won't stop
'Cause the world moves on and the lights stay on
For the next one, and next one, it's an ocean
No, I don't wanna waste forever
But I can if I want to
There's so much that can change my mind
So much of me has changed, how could I ever feel the same?
[Chorus]
So dive in, to my home
It's all I have, woah (Coming up for the weekend, running as far as we can)
So drive me, 'till the shore
Spoken like a real life savior
NASCAR, we're just racing in circles again
(We'll get it right for the next time)
[Verse 2]
Bleed out, it's a cold night
City views killed the starlight
Sleeping at the wheel for the first time
It's terrifying when you wake up
A few years later it's a new time
Hard to see how it stands from the inside
Inside, it's tried if it's tiring
You then, leave
[Chorus]
So dive in, to my home
(Cassini don't come home, you don't want to say it)
It's all I have, woah (And I don't want to know, but I feel it, I feel)
(Coming up for the weekend, running as far as we can)
So drive me, 'till the shore
(And I don't want to be here, but I don't want to go)
Spoken like a real life savior ('Cause I need it)
NASCAR, we're ju–
[Outro]
The lone and level sands stretch far away

909 was produced by EDEN.
In an interview with Billboard, EDEN shared his thoughts about the song:
I think with a lot of the changes and fast-paced movements over the last few years, there can be a kind of buildup of emotional energy. Not that ‘909’ was an explosion or an eruption of that, but through it I think I found a w...
Yes, it was released alongside the song:
Jon has given no reason for this, but the logical idea would be that the live mix, especially prior to the actual release of the track, has more experimental elements and instrumentation which allows Jon to change certain things or transition to another song.
