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.
Got a pit in my stomach so tight.
Wish I never had a blast that night.
I can hear 'em through the walls for me.
Try to run but they always find me.
All in all, this is all I can take.
When I fell it was my first mistake,
But broken-hearted musta wilted, cuz everything's all tilted...
I keep a little place in the back of my mind.
I take a little trip when they use up my line.
But as soon as I can, I'll find another reason again.
Hang around like a head on a leash.
Keep it all just a little out of arm's reach.
I can hear 'em through the walls for me.
Try to run but they always find me.
Now I know why I can't go in.
All the blurs have a different set of keys again,
But broken-hearted musta wilted, cuz everything's all tilted...
I keep a little place in the back of my mind.
I take a little trip when they use up my line.
But as soon as I can, I'll find another reason again.
Oh yeah, keep a little place in the back of my mind.
I take a little trip when they use up my line.
But as soon as I can, I'll find another reason again.
Oh, you don't wanna hurt me.
(You don't wanna hurt me.)
You don't wanna hurt me.
(You don't wanna hurt me.)
You don't wanna hurt me anymore.
Bring it on one time...
I'm the one with the skeleton face.
I'm the one with the full nine disgrace.
I can hear 'em through the walls for me.
Try to run but they always find me.
I never wanted it to end this way.
I wish I had a little more to say,
But broken-hearted musta wilted, cuz everything's all tilted...
I keep a little place in the back of my mind.
I take a little trip when they use up my line.
But as soon as I can, I'll find another reason again.
Oh yeah, keep a little place in the back of my mind.
I take a little trip when they use up my line.
But as soon as I can, I'll find another reason again.
Oh, you don't wanna hurt me.
(You don't wanna hurt me.)
You don't wanna hurt me.
(You don't wanna hurt me.)
You don't wanna hurt me anymore.
Bring it on one time...
Take it away, oh take it away... again...
Again...again.
Wish I never had a blast that night.

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
another elexent old school song
updated to the lyrics that used in the uk version
first of this song fucking rock hard!! I had the chance to watch Stone Sour live last year & I hope I'll get to see them again! Corey's words with that perfect music production is just an orgasm, pure art. anyway, I think this song speaks about addiction (alcohol or maybe drugs).
