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.
Yo Yo Yo Yo
If there's one thing you get from this
It's that no one lives forever
Just some people
Like a guy named Mr.Cartwright I know
Word Up
Yo
Mr.Cartwright he was a bright man, a bright man he was
He went out and he started a farm
A Farm that farmed little farms
(Little Farms, Little Farms)
And He made those little farms
And sold them to farmers
who wanted to build their own farms
so those little farmers made their own little farms
and then everyone farmed and it was a good farm town
like Maine
Maine, baby
That's a farm town, That's where it's at
No one lives forever
1996
This is K-Cal
27.2
Not a radio station, just a nice decimal
I like nice decimals
I don't like improper fractions
Gotta Reduce, Gotta Reduce
(Reduce Those Fractions)
Ya Hear Me, Ya hear Me
FOIL all those radicals and Peace Out
Turn me up a bit
Gimme some room
Gonna freestyle
Gonna break it down real fast
or real slow
Whatever I feel like
It's a freestyle
Do whatever I want
Wash My Hands
Put on some Parachute Pants
Dust my Chipmunk
Talk to my friend Roger
He's named Roger
He don't like no Parachute Pants
Turn me down a bit, It's too loud, I'm going deaf
Lobstahbacks
In the house
Count Funkula rockin' it out
Old School action
Like an arab
but not so much like an arab
he doesn't hoarde Oil
or put embargos
gg_owned
word up
all the llamas out there, you suck
peace
If there's one thing you get from this
It's that no one lives forever
Just some people
Like a guy named Mr.Cartwright I know
Word Up
Yo
Mr.Cartwright he was a bright man, a bright man he was
He went out and he started a farm
A Farm that farmed little farms
(Little Farms, Little Farms)
And He made those little farms
And sold them to farmers

so those little farmers made their own little farms
and then everyone farmed and it was a good farm town

That's a farm town, That's where it's at

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."

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
