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.
I am the planet, the monster, anti-martyr
The balance of human, constant firestarter
Pry apart the soul, find the footprints
All of a sudden, touch the button
Crash course in yesterday's after mathematics class
Until the last chapter's mastered
Smile, for the style war's won
Where the wild things are that hide from the sun
I am the toothache buried in your head
The proof you pretended to carry to the end
Barely alive, but nowhere near dead
I'm still standing here instead
More than a fistful of issues
More than a misfit's pistol grip click
My heart ticks
More human than human, more sicker than sick
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
I am the nightmare, right where the soldier
Overstands warfare, caught in the crosshair
The moment when focus becomes more
Than what's noticed by the starving locusts
The burning of the pride, turning of the tide
Searching through the fight
Snuck in with the shadow that broke the castle
Escaped the cell, let hell out of the capsule
I am the hunted that stalks my aggressor
I am neurosis, I am the measurements used
When it's time to choose which tools are proper
For the opportunity to break it loose
When it breaks, it'll all come together now
Armageddon, just a change in the weather now
I am the one, I've come to let the pressure out
More human than human, so you can feel better now
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
More human than human, more sicker than sick
Yeah, more human than human
More human than human, more human than human
The balance of human, constant firestarter
Pry apart the soul, find the footprints
All of a sudden, touch the button

Smile, for the style war's won
Where the wild things are that hide from the sun

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.
I got into The X-Ecutioners from one of their other collaborations (It's Goin' Down featuring Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn from Linkin Park) and decided to look into some of their other stuff. I'm just thankful that I saw this post, because if I hadn't, I would have probably passed up a really good song. Let's just say that this song has justified my decision of looking into more of The X-Ecutioners' songs. Anyway, great song, haven't really gotten a chance to analyze exactly what it means yet.
