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 just want to run around
I just want to party down
I just want to run around
I just want to party down
Drug rugs and beer [unverified], it's all I know
I don't wanna grow up and have to let go
I feel the pressure to change my ways
All I see are more dark days
[Unverified] teenage ways is on my brain
Get away, a feeling I can't explain
I don't want this thing to ever stop
Just shut up, and hand over that pop
Just 19 when I lost all my dignity
Today's my birthday, and now I'm 20
Don't wanna have responsibility
Don't wanna be a part of society
I wanna be where the boys are, too
I wanna do the things I wanna do
I won't do what you tell me to
I don't wanna have to listen to you
[Unverified] teenage ways is on my brain
Get away, a feeling I can't explain
I don't want this thing to ever stop
Just shut up, and hand over that pop
What's the point of doing something?
Every night gotta feel the pain
Some people say that I'm disgusting
I don't care, I just think they're lame
Kill the rainbow, feel the rocks
Just 19 when I lost all my dignity
Today's my birthday, and now I'm 20
Don't wanna have responsibility
Don't wanna be a part of society
I just want to run around
I just want to party down
I just want to run around
Party down, whoo
Next year I'll be 21
Look out, world, 'cause I wanna have fun
Next year I'll be 21
Look out, world, 'cause I wanna have fun
I just want to party down
I just want to run around
I just want to party down
Drug rugs and beer [unverified], it's all I know
I don't wanna grow up and have to let go
I feel the pressure to change my ways
All I see are more dark days
[Unverified] teenage ways is on my brain
Get away, a feeling I can't explain
I don't want this thing to ever stop
Just shut up, and hand over that pop
Just 19 when I lost all my dignity
Today's my birthday, and now I'm 20
Don't wanna have responsibility
Don't wanna be a part of society
I wanna be where the boys are, too
I wanna do the things I wanna do
I won't do what you tell me to
I don't wanna have to listen to you
[Unverified] teenage ways is on my brain
Get away, a feeling I can't explain
I don't want this thing to ever stop
Just shut up, and hand over that pop
What's the point of doing something?
Every night gotta feel the pain
Some people say that I'm disgusting
I don't care, I just think they're lame
Kill the rainbow, feel the rocks
Just 19 when I lost all my dignity
Today's my birthday, and now I'm 20
Don't wanna have responsibility
Don't wanna be a part of society
I just want to run around
I just want to party down
I just want to run around
Party down, whoo
Next year I'll be 21
Look out, world, 'cause I wanna have fun
Next year I'll be 21
Look out, world, 'cause I wanna have fun

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."

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
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.
i don't like how some parts of the lyrics remind me of something that sum41 would write
yeah man, the lyrics kind of drag down a song that's lots of fun musically. Oh well, they can't all be winners
I JUST WANT TO PARTY DOWNNNNNNN i fucking love this song!
"Total teenage mayhem is on my brain *" & my favourite part :
"What's the point of doing something if you're not gonna feel the pain * Some people say that I'm disgusting, I don't care, I just think they're lame Kill the rainbow, feel the rocks."
FUCK, they were so awesome. such a bummer that they're no longer a band. but hopefully jemina's solo or new stuff will be just as good.
