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.
Late at night I lie awake
Thinking about the love we had
Isn't it sad that it all turned to
Memories in the dark
Picture frames and broken hearts
Broken hearts
But they say these wounds will heal
But, baby, the tales tell lies
They get so surreal
It makes me wish
That this world was big enough
For the both of us
This life was
Bright enough to light another day
But I can't look back
Cause when I do I start wondering
Will I see you again
Everyday were growing up too fast
Gotta find away to make it through
But, baby, you know
I still think about you
But memories in the dark
Picture frames can't fix these hearts
These broken hearts
And they say this pain will fade
Oh but, baby, the songs we sang
When I hear them play
It makes me wish
That this world was big enough
For the both of us
That this life was
Bright enough to light another day
But I can't look back
Cause when I do I start wondering
Will I see you again, again
The thought I knew is nothing at all
When it comes to you
When it comes to you, baby
Even though I'm already gone
Even though were through
Boy, I think of you
And I still wish that
This world was big enough
For the both of us
And this life was
Bright enough to light another day
But, I can't look back
Cause when I do I start wondering
Will I see you again, again
Again
Again
Again
Will I see you again?
Again
Again
Thinking about the love we had
Isn't it sad that it all turned to
Memories in the dark
Picture frames and broken hearts
Broken hearts
But they say these wounds will heal
But, baby, the tales tell lies
They get so surreal
It makes me wish
That this world was big enough
For the both of us
This life was
Bright enough to light another day
But I can't look back
Cause when I do I start wondering
Will I see you again
Everyday were growing up too fast
Gotta find away to make it through
But, baby, you know
I still think about you
But memories in the dark
Picture frames can't fix these hearts
These broken hearts
And they say this pain will fade
Oh but, baby, the songs we sang
When I hear them play
It makes me wish
That this world was big enough
For the both of us
That this life was
Bright enough to light another day
But I can't look back
Cause when I do I start wondering
Will I see you again, again
The thought I knew is nothing at all
When it comes to you
When it comes to you, baby
Even though I'm already gone
Even though were through
Boy, I think of you
And I still wish that
This world was big enough
For the both of us
And this life was
Bright enough to light another day
But, I can't look back
Cause when I do I start wondering
Will I see you again, again
Again
Again
Again
Will I see you again?
Again
Again

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
