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.
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
Five fucking seconds from now
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
Too fucking late for that
They said my first cd
Was my best one
And that other shit
Was dissapointing at best
Me likes watching
It go down in flames
Not my fault
I blame it on the industry
Rock my hole
Well since you
Put it that a way
They were right
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
Was I ever good at this
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
Too fucking bad for you
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
Down to defy niggaz
And my double wide nigga's
Me likes watching it go down in flames
Not my fault
I blame it on the industry
Rock my hole
Well since you
put it that a way
They were right
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
Suicide
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
Five fucking seconds from now
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
Too fucking late for that
They said my first cd
Was my best one
And that other shit
Was dissapointing at best
Me likes watching
It go down in flames
Not my fault
I blame it on the industry
Rock my hole
Well since you
Put it that a way
They were right
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
Was I ever good at this
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
Too fucking bad for you
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
Down to defy niggaz
And my double wide nigga's
Me likes watching it go down in flames
Not my fault
I blame it on the industry
Rock my hole
Well since you
put it that a way
They were right
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
My shit is wack
My shit is wack

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song isn't on a cd. Only live. And here are the 'actual' lyrics:
