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.
You, you called me out
You said your done with me
But I can't seem to remember anything at 3am
Am I that guy? The one that's happy hanging with my friends
And 5 drinks in I'm in love again
So if I get drunk and call you up
Don't get pissed and don't hang up
I know its late but its never too late to be
Another last call casualty
I can't remember what I said
But I swear I meant no harm
I tried to knock on your window
But I set off your alarm
And the days dragged on like a tail pipe band
The nights they ain't so long
And the taxi cab I'm riding in is blaring our favorite song again
So if I get drunk and call you up
Don't get pissed and don't hang up
I know its late but its never too late to be
Another last call casualty
I'm sorry a guy picked up the phone
My mind couldn't leave well enough alone
And after the seventh time he hit *69
He said if he finds me I'll be dead
But I'm already in my head
Since he's the one that's lying with you in your bed
So if I get drunk and call you up
Don't get pissed and don't hang up
I know its late but its never too late to be
Another last call casualty
So if I get drunk and call you up
Don't get pissed and don't hang up (another last call casualty)
I know its late but its never too late to be
Another last call casualty
Another last call casualty
So if I get drunk and call you up
Don't get pissed and don't hang up (another last call casualty)
So if I get drunk and call you up
Don't get pissed and don't hang up (another last call casualty)
So if I get drunk and call you up
Don't get pissed and don't hang up (another last call casualty)
You said your done with me
But I can't seem to remember anything at 3am
Am I that guy? The one that's happy hanging with my friends
And 5 drinks in I'm in love again
So if I get drunk and call you up
Don't get pissed and don't hang up
I know its late but its never too late to be
Another last call casualty
I can't remember what I said
But I swear I meant no harm
I tried to knock on your window
But I set off your alarm
And the days dragged on like a tail pipe band

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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 is basically about drunk dialing...and that he feels bad that he is doing it so she should forgive him for it. this song is pretty easy to understand.
