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.
There's no reason
To deny
It's the season
Of the lie
Having someone
Grin at you
Look at little fingers
Pointing truth
Man, it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
I'm a believer
In the new
Past receiver
All come true
Look to the east
Filled with hate
Neutral flashers
While we wait
Man, it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
I'm an old lover
You're so sane
Who's the answer
Of what I mean
In this ocean
I fell into
Break me out of
The shell I grew
Man, it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
There's no time
(There's no time)
There's no time
(There's no time)
No time
(There's no time)
No time
(There's no time)
To deny
It's the season
Of the lie
Having someone
Grin at you
Look at little fingers
Pointing truth
Man, it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
I'm a believer
In the new
Past receiver
All come true
Look to the east
Filled with hate
Neutral flashers
While we wait
Man, it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
I'm an old lover
You're so sane
Who's the answer
Of what I mean
In this ocean
I fell into
Break me out of
The shell I grew
Man, it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
There's no time
(There's no time)
There's no time
(There's no time)
No time
(There's no time)
No time
(There's no time)

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
this song is about a guy whose in love with a girl who has ruined his self esteem. she has lied and cheated on him many times. it messes with him psychologically but he tells himself things will get better because she loves him so its fine. however, he just discovered that she is in love with a man who left for the military (to the east coast). she is only with him because she cant currently be with her true love until he gets back in a couple years. he tells himself that if things dont get better; if he doesnt meet someone else who can save him from this ocean of depression and denial soon, he will kill himself. at the end he cries out in desperation, realizing that things arent going to get better.
