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.
You've got me pinned against this barbed wire fence,
while my white hands try to write me free
the colour red mixed with the blues in my pants
while my white hands try to write me free
I'm tired of drawing on my eyes
I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside
I want to say how much your love has pushed me away;
Maybe it's better off this way
More hits have kicked me than a chorus line
and these bruises seem to stay
she's calling me out to go again
I'm tired of drawing on my eyes
I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside
I want to say how much your love has pushed me away;
Maybe it's better off this way
Its all running again
pumping fumes to my head
She's calling me out to go again
Its all running again
pumping fumes to my head
She's calling me out to go again
I'm tired of drawing on my eyes
I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside
I want to say how much your love has pushed me away;
Maybe it's better off this way
while my white hands try to write me free
the colour red mixed with the blues in my pants
while my white hands try to write me free
I'm tired of drawing on my eyes
I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside
I want to say how much your love has pushed me away;
Maybe it's better off this way
More hits have kicked me than a chorus line
and these bruises seem to stay
she's calling me out to go again
I'm tired of drawing on my eyes
I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside
I want to say how much your love has pushed me away;
Maybe it's better off this way
Its all running again
pumping fumes to my head
She's calling me out to go again
Its all running again
pumping fumes to my head
She's calling me out to go again
I'm tired of drawing on my eyes
I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside
I want to say how much your love has pushed me away;
Maybe it's better off this way

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
im not sure what its bout, maybe how he wants to write what he feels but the world isnt gunna like it? i dunno

umm... i dunno, i think there's like two extra lines at the beginning that aren't anything like those posted. no, honestly, like listen to it. i'm actually not hallucinating
Yeah it's
"you've got me pinned against this barbed wire fence where my rust stains begin to bleed the colour red mixed with the blues in my pants while my white hands try to write me free"

^^^^^ Those lyrics are right, except they make the song even more confusing.
You've got me pinned against this barbed wire fence, While my rust stains begin to bleed The colour red mixed with the blues in my pants While my white hands try to write me free
I'm tired of drawing our lies I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside I want to say how much your love has pushed me away Maybe it's better off this
More hits have hit me then the radio time I been told that she's one away My kicks have kicked me then the chorus line And these bruises just seem to stay
I'm tired of drawing our lies I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside I want to say how much your love has pushed me away Maybe it's better off this way
Its all running again Pumping fumes through my head She's calling me out to go again
All running again Pumping fumes through my head She's calling me out to go again
I'm tired of drawing our lies I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside I want to say how much your love has pushed me away Your love has pushed me away Maybe it's better off this way
