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.
Sittin' on my front porch sippin' on my pipe,
Lizard on the bowl blownin' gold shit was tight,
Early in the morning 7:30 a.m.,
Snatchin' nugz in the ??? from the walls of my den,
Living in a bud plant, I hollowed out the stem,
Two stories three rooms it's my Kryptominium,
My domain now remains supplied in ???,
All I do is clean my crib and clip the water leaves,
Free relief is always offered from the great O.D.
Standing seven feet tall my toupee huge tree,
Is lovely smells so fruity I'm fucking hoopy,
Flying like Woodstock barking orders like I'm Snoopy,
Excuse me, pardon it's time for a session,
We press on heading on up to the top section,
Everybody is invited, I prefer those heavy hitters,
You know someone down to smoke? I really hate those stay and quitters,
So it figures Loc is rollin' Bobby B ain't far behind,
Daddy X and Pakelika come in swinging on some vines,
To the tip top of the tallest Kola we begin to climb,
Sugar smokes some ?? ropes and a gang of Keif,
Where Are We?
Trapped in a plant the Size of an Ant and we're stuck to the sack,
How high? It's the Kola,
We got no map and forgot to pack a back pack,
D double dash L O C, I popped out my bud plant clearly,
Invisibly see through ya'll can't find me,
Completely blind like an erased line,
Stay refined disappear go away like bad emotion,
I'm over here camouflaged in my potion,
Ya'll can't find me I'm slick like Rick,
Got an oldschool flip equipped,
Vanac Spits!
???????? to the mic I become attached,
Imagine if I grew branches from my body limbs crowded,
Out my mouth like chlorophyll dispel all skill whack MC's,
???????????? decapitate immortals,
Now growing vines from my arms I'm like the swamp thing man appearing in plant,
Form plasma ejected complicated ??????????,
Dynamic apparatus combindin' for rhyming ???????,
Everlasting grow room wired with the bass boom,
Krispy colored nugs is another called the typhoon,
Full bloom flowerin', sky scraper towerin',
Endless sea of green, hydro lights that be powerin',
Full drip system frequent mistin',
Tropical planet so all the buds they were glisten,
Rollin' cones all day, runnin' round underground,
Bobby's bud's are where I stay and I'm the Size of an Ant,
Where Are We?
Trapped in a plant the Size of an Ant and we're stuck to the sack,
How high? It's the Kola,
We got no map and forgot to pack a back pack,
I reside in the bud the nugs about dove,
Life in the bag of the blueberry love,
I'm feelin' my dust so I climb to the core,
It started getting chilly cuz the weather's gettin' colder,
I grabbed my folder, write a rhyme and called Kona,
He came over, then we rolled up a hooter,
Jumped on the scooters and we found the lines,
You know I fumbled my rhyme,
Stoney trail rides, we smokin' spliffs by bricks,
It's a myth the gift to get lifted,
I gave the plant a sniff then I kissed it,
I made a wish the rest got blessed,
I'm living in a plant the Size of an Ant,
It's 4:20 now it's time to react,
No need for a sack cuz I'm sick of runnin' laps,
Look down by my feet and saw a little piece of ant crap,
Where Are We?
Trapped in a plant the Size of an Ant and we're stuck to the sack,
How high? It's the Kola,
We got no map and forgot to pack a back pack,
A living organism material and organic,
Vanac's animal kingdom biochem,
Green nitro genismatter contain,
My brains essential for growth by photosynthesis,
Varyin derivatives Richter your ?????,
Riding high.. technical I detect dust in my perimeter,
Pulse rate erratic your breathing sallow,
Elbow strike vines ?? technology ???? plant intoxicants,
Trapped inside the clone chamber,
??? production dodgin'?? atomic multiply if you supply fungi medicinal,
Mushroom consumption digestion cannabis alchemy opium chemist and ??,
Say drugs an aphrodisiac,
MC's they lack it,
Your minds the Size of an Ant
Lizard on the bowl blownin' gold shit was tight,
Early in the morning 7:30 a.m.,
Snatchin' nugz in the ??? from the walls of my den,
Living in a bud plant, I hollowed out the stem,
Two stories three rooms it's my Kryptominium,

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
