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.
Been looking for love
I never could find it
While I'm standing here
And he is so blinded by her silly ways
He just can't imagine
She's playing a game
A game that he played for so long oh
I want him to know
Just how much I love him
I wanted to show
But he just believes
I'm a friend he can trust
But I want to touch him
I love him enough
To heal all the hurt in his heart
Oh yes I do but how do I start
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Can you tell me who to call?
When the one I love
Is loving someone who can't see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Tell me if he'll ever fall so in love with me
Or could it be it's just make believe
Boy I had a dream
Or maybe a vision
That I was your queen
Cause I fit the slipper
You took me away
To happily ever
We laughed and we made
Sweet love till the sun came again
Oh yeah we did, hmm
But that was the end, oh
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Can you tell me who to call?
When the one I love
Is loving someone who can't see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Tell me if he'll ever fall so in love with me
Or could it be it's just make believe
Oh, if you're looking for love
It's right in your face
I've been waiting for you
So don't run away
Fairy tales can come true
If you believe
(They can come true if you believe)
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Can you tell me who to call?
When the one I love
Is loving someone who can't see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Tell me if he'll ever fall so in love with me
Or could it be it's just make believe
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
I want to know, I want to know
Is he gonna know?
That I'm loving him
And I'm needing him
Or will he love someone who can't see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
I never could find it
While I'm standing here
And he is so blinded by her silly ways
He just can't imagine
She's playing a game
A game that he played for so long oh
I want him to know
Just how much I love him
I wanted to show
But he just believes
I'm a friend he can trust
But I want to touch him
I love him enough
To heal all the hurt in his heart
Oh yes I do but how do I start
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Can you tell me who to call?
When the one I love
Is loving someone who can't see
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Tell me if he'll ever fall so in love with me
Or could it be it's just make believe
Boy I had a dream
Or maybe a vision

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.
