It's happening again

So cross your fingers
And cover up the path you left again

He was crossing his fingers
As the bullet pierced his chest

Your people piled high
These figures never lie
The prize your country sent
A perfect red embellishment

Your pride just swallow it
Your pride just swallow it

The answer to this call to arms
Marching onward,
Marching backwards
You're stomping over broken hearts
Marching onward,
Marching backwards
Will weary soldiers lay them down in time

It's happening again

So cross your fingers
Until there's nothing left

Just stop and take a breath
Suck in the stench of death

We just got the numbers back
We hope they all died right on impact.

You're pride just swallow it

So take a number undertaker
Marching onward,
Marching backward
The last hands to be laid on loved ones
Marching onward,
Marching backward
Our sons and daughters sleeping in the rubble.

This is the last time I'll tell you

Are you bulletproof?
Are you bulletproof?
Sign sign you're love away.
Are you bulletproof?
Are you bulletproof?
How many pieces are you gonna come back in?

    it's about joining the army. Saying it's almmost like commiting suicide, 'are you bulletproof?' because you're probably gonna get shot and die. and if you don't die well 'cross your fingers', it's just luck.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Mountain Song
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."
