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.
Out of the flames
A piece of brain in my hair
The wheels are melting
A ghost is screaming your name
Bleeding all around
Liquid metal through my veins
The radio's burning
A ghost is screaming your name
A piece of brain in my hair
The wheels are melting
A ghost is screaming your name
Bleeding all around
Liquid metal through my veins
The radio's burning
A ghost is screaming your name

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
such..an awesome song.....i didn't listen to it for awhile..but then i opened it up again and holy crap
i've been listening to this song for about....an hour or so now..
why? why does this song haunt me?! Sometimes love outlives it's usefullness.
Sounds like something to do with a car crash to me.
:-)
Very deep.
by the way, i think its the harmony that the music takes on that gives you chills. in music, if you blend certain notes together...no matter what they be, if they work...they sort of form one and thats the harmony--thats usually what makes something in your ears go "wow!" and makes you get goosebumps.
yah, im smart.
my friend went on vacation and saw this couple burned alive in their car because of a hit and run driver. she heard their screams and she saw the flames. afterwards she saw the bodies; one had, what used to be an arm, around the other with their, what used to be faces, facing each other. the car was hit into a fire hydrant but no water came out. this song reminds me of that couple. a very ironic and depressing thing to happen. but it's sadly beautiful that they died together comforting each other.
... I mean, "I'm not sure what this song means. something about a car accident, I think."
i dont know about the lyrics but i definitly think its a car crash. i've analyized the video 80 times and come to similar conclusions: There is a girl who likes a boy(not sure if he likes her back but i think he does) but he has a girlfriend who has him help tease her (kick a soccerball into her face) and close to the beginning there is a shot where she is sitting in her room drawing and someone (it kind of looks like the guy she likes but it might be a sibiling)comes into her room with a sheet on pretending to moan (obviously teasing her about her ghostly bike rides) then its cut to the soccer scene where she suffers more ridicule. after this embarresment she goes home and tries to sleep after checking out the bump a certain soccer ball has left on her forehead. she wakes up in the night and dons pale make up and and a cut up sheet/ ghost costume.she rides her bike down a path, wind flying through her hair (it was a downhill path), while spirits float around her. eventually she gets to a certain spot where more spirits hover in the sky. she gets off her bike, raises her arms as if asking for them to pull her up and finally jumps into the air, defying gravity and joins the spirits. we see another hand, dressed in the same costume as the girl, waving. the girl waves back and we see that the person who waved is a boy (i'm pretty sure its the boy she liked). and they do a 360, holding hands and then he puts his arm around her in an "i love you" sort of way and she rests her head on his shoulder. i think we know that the person in the beginning who was teasing her w/ the sheet knew she did this before it happened so it must be something she has done before or multiple times. we also know that the entire ghostly scene wasn't a dream because the teasing person would not have known about it. I think the girl in the video goes on these ghostly bike rides because she jumps into a sort of dream world (even if her floating up to the sky and the ghostboy are her imagination) in which she can finally be happy and free of rejection and sorrow. i think another answer might be that somewhere between going 2 sleep and the jumping up to the sky she commited suicide and this spirit world that she floats up to his heaven...her heaven anyway. theres a lot i'm still trying 2 figure out but i hope u guys found this helpful.
this song is not about the video. the site isn't videomeanings.net. you must be lost.
I thought it was influenced by Return of the Living Dead movie.
Mostly because of the brains reference. Zombies and brains. "Not people, brains!!!" and Tina was the name of the girl in the movie. "Tiiiiiina!" He kind of chanted it that way too. Hee hee!
I love it. :D
My name is Dina, so when I listen to this song, it sounds like he's saying my name. It's great.
holy crap indeed; this song is amazing!
