In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Ticket please? Thanks walk threw the doors
Into the halls of illusions visit yours
And see what could of it should of it would of been real
But you had to fuck up the whole deal
Lets take a walk down the hallway
It's a long way
It takes all day
And when we get to the end you find a chair
With straps and chains we slap you in there
Lock you down tight so you can't move a tread
And pull your eyelids up over your head
Cuz your about to witness an illusionary dream
It's just to bad it aint what it seems
You walk in and you see two kids on the floor
There playin' Nintendo and he's got the high score
And sittin' behind them chillin' in a chair
Is your wife and you look oh you aint there
There's some other man in the hand in hand
As he looks so happy you don't understand
See this is an illusion it never came true
All because of you
Back to reality and what your about
Your wife cant smile cuz you knocked her teeth out
And she can't see straight from gettin' hit
Cuz your a fat fuckin' drunk piece of shit
But it's all good here come have a beer
I'll break the top off it and shove it in your ear
And your death comes wicked, painful, and slow
At the hands of Milenko
Great Milenko wave your wand
Dont look now your life is gone
This is all bcause of you
What you got your life into
Great Milenko wave your wand
Dont look now your life is gone
This is all bcause of you
What you got your life into
Look who's next it's Mr.Clark
The dirty old man from the trailer park
You got you ticket?
Thanks take your coat off
And later on why not
I'll rip your throught off
Lets take a walk down the hallway
It's a long way
It takes all day
And when you get to the end you find a chair
You see all the blood yea your boy was just here
We get all differernt counter people comin' threw
Riches, chickens, and bitches just like you
In the halls everybody gets a turn
To sit and witness your illusion before you burn
What do we have here
Oh dear no way
It looks like your kids in the OK
Your daughters chillin' up in collage tuff grades
And your sons a fuckin' docter fat payed
They got family, the kids, and it's all good
They even coach little league in the neighborhood
Is this true have you really seen the holy ghoast?
Na bitch not even close
Back to reality your sons on crack
And your dauhters got nut stains on her back
And they both fuckin' smell like shit
And live in a gutter and sell crack to each other
When they were kids
You would beat 'em and leave 'em home
And even whip 'em with the cord on the telephone
And that reminds me man
Hey you gotta call
Watch your step to Hell
You belong
Great Milenko wave your wand
Dont look now your life is gone
This is all bcause of you
What you got your life into ((2x))
Time to pack up and move to the next town
But we forgot Mr.Biggit, OK Digit
We cant show you an illusion cuz we all packed
But i'll still cut your neck out cuz the
Great Milenko wave your wand
Dont look now your life is gone
This is all bcause of you
What you got your life into ((4X))
Into the halls of illusions visit yours
And see what could of it should of it would of been real
But you had to fuck up the whole deal
Lets take a walk down the hallway
It's a long way
It takes all day
And when we get to the end you find a chair
With straps and chains we slap you in there

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
