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.
There's a little girl in this little town
With a little too much heart to go around
Live forever, never say never
You can do better, that's what she says
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you
Do do do do do do do do
She sings her little song
She walks a long a little
Pathway headed for the skies
Left her travels, lives they unravel
Mind over matter, that's what she says
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
And the fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you, lucky you
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Maybe she'll sing you do do do do
Maybe she'll bring you up to the skies
Honey, she'll love you
Funny how some view
Angels above you ain't so far away.
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you
With a little too much heart to go around
Live forever, never say never
You can do better, that's what she says
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you
Do do do do do do do do
She sings her little song
She walks a long a little
Pathway headed for the skies
Left her travels, lives they unravel
Mind over matter, that's what she says
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
And the fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you, lucky you
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Maybe she'll sing you do do do do
Maybe she'll bring you up to the skies
Honey, she'll love you
Funny how some view
Angels above you ain't so far away.
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song

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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This song is the source of my username! Ha. I think this song is really intelligent. If you dig deep, I think it's really inspirational, especially considering Taylor wrote this when she was twelve. Basically, she's saying how everyone thinks she is so strange, but she embraces her differences. She just tries to better herself, and she feels like she is too big for her little town. She knows she's special and that people just can't see that right now, but she's going to help them later on. But right now, she's just going to do what she loves to do.
