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 said to the waitress, "hey, another coffee"
Refills are free, and I'm feeling pretty lonely
The diner's kinda cold and a little bit empty
Just then she walked in, and she tried to ignore me
it's my ex-wife, and she's looking kinda sick
I recently just learned she's been blowing crazy shit
"oh, baby, how ya been? I haven't seen you in a bit"
"I know we aren't great friends, but can you take some time and sit, huh?"
thanks, hun, you look very pretty
I know that you know that I know, and it hurts me so much
I can't help you... I wanted to help you
Let me please help you
how come?
How could you do this?
You're so goddamn gorgeous
You're so goddamn selfish
I love you to pieces
Kiddo, I'm dying
I'm tired of crying, ok?
just stop
Look what your man's done
He made a mess, and he's selling me sick
I'm so sickening
Sick of me
Sick
I'm so sickening
Sick of me
Sick
I'm so sick
hey, it's ok
I love you the same like when were just kids
Oh, babe, it's just me
I know we don't talk much
I love you... please stop this
Just stop this, just stop it, just stop
stop it
Stop this
I can't sit here and watch while you make yourself sick
I'm so sickening
Sick of what?
Sickening
Sick of me
Sickening
Sick of her
Sickening
Sick of sick
my bad
I'm an awful example
A hypocrite and a cheat
So I'm sorry
it's just
I won't let this happen again
I let my hair grow
And I tried to forget you
Don't break my heart
And let this shit kill you
I can do what I want
'cause my ex-girlfriend don't give a fuck about
Jamie devine can do what he wants
'cause his ex-girlfriend don't give a fuck about
all of us got these broken dreams
A fractured love over drugs that scream about
Forcing yourself to do what you want
'cause your next girlfriend will make you write about
So all of us can do what we want
'cause our ex-girlfriends don't give a fuck about
Sweetheart please! you can't give up
Please love yourself and stay with us around
I won't ever know how things end up
I miss her lots, but we rarely talk... oh, well
Oh, jamie please, let's get a drink
I think it's 'bout time we leave this place, ya know? ya know? ya know?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This is about an old love of his that he hates seeing hurt. He wants to help, but she won't let him.
So good and so underrated. Yeah, the meaning is pretty obvious. Almost all Jerry's songs are about the same thing.
i can never get sick of this song.
the guitar on the last part of the song, amazingggggg
Same with the drums :p
