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.
oint the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Sometimes I get so tired
Of the ride (it never stops)
This word is worth then my life {than my life)
Say the word and I will die
There's no peace for passing of this new sickness
That I have introduced
To everyone around me saying
That I'm the cause of all their crime
And when they're drunk
I pour the wine
Lets leave this place
To say that we escaped
Well say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us
And take what is ours
Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Take me far from
This less than perfect design
My contributions only go so far
Without monetary game for my heart
Lets leave this place
To say that we escaped
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us and take what is ours
Running with the scissors pointed at your heart from your hand
Ss that your plan?
I don't have time for questions concerning your future position
Lets leave this place (if all that was this time)
To say that we escaped (decisions that were mine)
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us and take what is ours
Put on your coat (it's time to go [x2])
Decemary is what i want
Taking every inch too
Loosing pressure is not a choice
When I'm running with you
Giving up the fight
I could never stop
It is dedication
My gift to you
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Sometimes I get so tired
Of the ride (it never stops)
This word is worth then my life {than my life)
Say the word and I will die
There's no peace for passing of this new sickness
That I have introduced
To everyone around me saying
That I'm the cause of all their crime
And when they're drunk
I pour the wine
Lets leave this place
To say that we escaped
Well say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us
And take what is ours
Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Take me far from
This less than perfect design
My contributions only go so far
Without monetary game for my heart
Lets leave this place
To say that we escaped
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us and take what is ours
Running with the scissors pointed at your heart from your hand
Ss that your plan?
I don't have time for questions concerning your future position
Lets leave this place (if all that was this time)
To say that we escaped (decisions that were mine)
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us and take what is ours
Put on your coat (it's time to go [x2])
Decemary is what i want
Taking every inch too
Loosing pressure is not a choice
When I'm running with you
Giving up the fight
I could never stop
It is dedication
My gift to you

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."

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Gotta give it up to the local bands, very good song.
