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.
Stop stalling, make a name for yourself
Boy, you better put that pen to paper, charm your way out
If you talk, you better walk
You better back your shit up
With more than good hooks
While you're all under the gun
Start talking a sensationalist
Oh, he's slightly clever to just a certain extent
If you talk, you better walk
You better keep your mouth shut
With more than good hooks
While you're all under the gun
Panic, meet the press
It's time for us to take a chance
It's time for us to take a chance
Panic, meet the press
It's time for us to take a chance
It's time for us
Well, we're just a wet dream for the web scene
Make us it, make us hip, make us scene
Or shrug us off your shoulders
Don't approve a single word we wrote
Well, we're just a wet dream for the webzine
Make us it, make us hip, make us scene
Or shrug us off your shoulders
Don't approve a single word that we wrote
I'm burning and I'm blacking my lungs
Boy, you know it feels good with fire back on your tongue
If you talk, you better walk
You better back your shit up
With more than good hooks
While you're all under the gun
Start talking a sensationalist
Oh, he's slightly clever to just a certain extent
Oh, keep quiet let us sing like the doves
Then decide if it's done with purpose or lack thereof
Just for the record
The weather today is slightly sarcastic with a good chance of
A indifference, or B disinterest in what the critics say
It's time for us to take a chance
It's time for us
Well, we're just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us it, make us hip, make us scene

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
yeah, they can predict the future, all right.
"Well we're just a wet dream for the webzines, Make us it, make us hip, make us scene Or shrug us off your shoulders Don't approve a single word that we wrote"
clearly a reference to the SCENE. and a mockery. oh p! at the disco! you became the scene, and the scene kids are too dumb to realise you're making fun of them!
Just for the record, The weather today is Slightly sarcastic with a good chance of A. Indifference or B. Disinterest in what the critics say
My fave line...i scream it xP
I'm kind of wondering if it has to do with the fact that some of the members' parents highly disapproved of them getting involved with music instead of making their lives all about schooling and careers based moreso on intellect. 'It's time for us to take a chance' makes me think about them taking a step out from under their parents' wing and trying something and taking a risk, solely upon themselves. The rest point to the fact that they're making music because they want to and the haters and critics can just stop because they really don't need to hear it. P!ATD is so amazing...
"Make us it make us hip make us scene Or. Shrug us off your shoulders. Don't approve a single word we wrote."
"Keep Quiet! Let us sing like the doves Then decide if it's done with purpose or lack thereof."
Maybe saying that they have to be exactly what the record company wants them to be, because if not their just an unsigned group?
Amazing song. Kind of like FOB's "Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name..." to me, but not so much about the fans. Maybe it's about making it as a band. They say "make a name for yourself" and about not caring about what critics say. Not too sure about the wet dreams webzines part. Have a couple ideas but would like to hear what other people think.
I think they got the Wet Dreams verse from fall out boy.
well pete was incredibly involved in the process of make this album, and he writes a majority of FOB's lyrics, so I wouldn't be surprised if P!ATD got a line or two from him...it happens with lots of bands (Taking Back Sunday most notably)
this reminded me more of black mamba by the academy is... both mention the scene and not caring about the critics. but i still adore the song.
make us it, make us hip, make us scene this is my song of the week ADimeADexter- i was gonna write the same thing. pete wrote that in his journal anyway.. heh
More Chuck P. references.
In his book, "Diary", one of Chuck's conceits is "Just for the record, the weather today is...." followed by some kind of emotion. Good book, good song.
