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.
Hey you know T, it's been half a year
'Guess you never thought that you'd see me here
But I still thought you'd have so much more to say
But I still thought you'd have so much more to say
And everyone here sends their "hello's"
And your mom makes it feel so much like home
Though it's good to be back
Where you been?
'Must have cried everywhere you were then
See, I still thought we'd still have so much more to say
See, I still thought we'd still have so much more to say
And Suzie and me are on your couch
And she opens her mouth.. But nothing comes out
You know I still can't write to you well
You got me so scared that I'm colder than hell
See, I still thought I'd have so much more to say
See I still thought I'd have so much more to say
Though its all confusing, I'm less scared of heights
Precarious perch of this well being broken by your sweet songs and photographs
Letters, tapes and by your fall
Like a third story window in mourning in mid-state providence
'Guess you never thought that you'd see me here
But I still thought you'd have so much more to say
But I still thought you'd have so much more to say
And everyone here sends their "hello's"
And your mom makes it feel so much like home
Though it's good to be back
Where you been?
'Must have cried everywhere you were then
See, I still thought we'd still have so much more to say
See, I still thought we'd still have so much more to say
And Suzie and me are on your couch
And she opens her mouth.. But nothing comes out
You know I still can't write to you well
You got me so scared that I'm colder than hell
See, I still thought I'd have so much more to say
See I still thought I'd have so much more to say
Though its all confusing, I'm less scared of heights
Precarious perch of this well being broken by your sweet songs and photographs
Letters, tapes and by your fall
Like a third story window in mourning in mid-state providence

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."

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.
This song is about Damian's friend, Timory, who died on her 23rd birthday. She was crouching next to a window when her friend came over to hug her and the two fell backwards through a third story window. Her friend was severely injured, but survived.
Damian has a small tattoo of a 'T' inside a star on his arm, in her memory and also wears her ring on his little finger.
OK Go's song 'Return' is also about Timory, and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists sing about her in their song 'Timorous Me'
T's Song is from the album Appendices, which is a collection of songs Damian produced in college and is not available for purchase.
