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.
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
I'm writing from the bedroom
I'm ennui and in my cups
All the kids are kissing in the bathroom
Licking bags to get their ups
I've gotten 3 proposals since I left home
And none have left me impressed
It's getting much harder to say no
And even harder to say yes
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
You met a naf annihilator
Oh whose treasure was her trap
And when she wrapped her legs around your head
You knew you wouldn't get it back
It's been 16 days since I've left home
16 days too long
And what she does feels oh so right
So you know it must be wrong
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
Whoa
Now I'm writing cause I miss you
And I'm writing cause I'm stuck
All these strangers all around me
They don't seem to give a fuck
And I'm tired of sleeping in strange beds
And I've done more than you allow
I've had enough of jetsetting
And I want to come back now
I want to come back now
I want to come back now
I want to come back now
I want to come back now
This is a jetsetter music letter
This is a jetsetter music letter
This is a jetsetter music letter
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter
Wow
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
I'm writing from the bedroom
I'm ennui and in my cups
All the kids are kissing in the bathroom
Licking bags to get their ups
I've gotten 3 proposals since I left home
And none have left me impressed
It's getting much harder to say no
And even harder to say yes
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
You met a naf annihilator
Oh whose treasure was her trap
And when she wrapped her legs around your head
You knew you wouldn't get it back
It's been 16 days since I've left home
16 days too long
And what she does feels oh so right
So you know it must be wrong
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
This is a jetsetter music letter from me to you
Whoa
Now I'm writing cause I miss you
And I'm writing cause I'm stuck
All these strangers all around me
They don't seem to give a fuck
And I'm tired of sleeping in strange beds
And I've done more than you allow
I've had enough of jetsetting
And I want to come back now
I want to come back now
I want to come back now
I want to come back now
I want to come back now
This is a jetsetter music letter
This is a jetsetter music letter
This is a jetsetter music letter
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter (from me to you)
This is a jetsetter music letter
Wow

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"
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."

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.
"All the kids are kissing in the bathroom Licking bags to get their ups" Ha ha ha ha....
sounds pretty straight-forward: spoiled rich (jetsetter) girl bored of carefree life after just 16 days. could be that she was never meant for that kind of life, or she just grew up? " And I'm writing cause I'm stuck All these strangers all around me They don't seem to give a fuck" partying, drinking, screwing around with people doesn't automatically make them your friends...lol
Oh whose treasure was her trap And when she wrapped her legs around your head You knew you wouldn't get it back
sexual shes bored with this-ennui i agree with whats been said
It's about a small hometown girl who just recently became famous (probably a singer) who constantly has to ride a jet ("jetsetter" means a rich/famous person who has the privelege of riding in jets to go places on a daily basis) to go to her tours. The song is written from the girl's perspective in a letter to her mother. It also talks about how people do drugs at the parties after the concerts and the girl watches people going at it in someone's bedroom.. She sleeps around (lots of one night stands) and guys want to marry her because she's rich and famous but she hates it because they dont love her, they only love her money.. So in conclusion, it's a letter from a famous girl to her mother while she's in her underwear in a hotel room talking about her life as a jetsetter and watching people do drugs and have sex and taking part in those sorts of things. Guys want to marry her for her money and she's getting sick of people who dont actually care about her so she wants to go home.
well they have the meaning downpack great song great vocals great band
