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'm having my cabinet
Schedule a debate
The world will be our witness
Judged in eyes of hate
I challenge the gods
To stand their ground
Taste my word sword
In your filthy mouth
Impeach God
Now
If we unite
We'll take them down
We'll use our strength
We'll use our skill
We will revolt
And we will kill
I've gathered my congregates
Here to kill your cause
The worst of you is venomous
We'll die to crush your laws
I've raised the capital
To take you down
Final word is your negation
Legacy renown
Impeach God
Now
If we unite
We'll take them down
We'll use our strength
We'll use our skill
We will revolt
And we will kill
Impeach God!
We'll cause a storm
We will unite
We'll crush the houses
Tonight
The times come for a dark mutation
A closed whispered
Conversation
A planet's worth of blinded trusters
Born of blackened cosmic clusters
We can't support your industry
Aborted evil ministry
Don't you know there's blood on your hands
It's time we take our final stand
Deport the hatred
Revoke the patrons
A black gestation
The dead donation
Refuse creation
Deny divination
A soul castration
For the dying nation
We will stand up and fight
Anarchy's ruling tonight
Forcing the book to the flame
The paper so earthly defamed
Verdict will rule in our strength
Your prince we will now desecrate
The polls are showing your downfall
We're taking it back
We're taking it back
We are the GODS
We are the GODS
Schedule a debate
The world will be our witness
Judged in eyes of hate
I challenge the gods
To stand their ground
Taste my word sword
In your filthy mouth
Impeach God
Now
If we unite
We'll take them down
We'll use our strength
We'll use our skill
We will revolt
And we will kill
I've gathered my congregates
Here to kill your cause
The worst of you is venomous
We'll die to crush your laws
I've raised the capital
To take you down
Final word is your negation
Legacy renown
Impeach God
Now
If we unite
We'll take them down
We'll use our strength
We'll use our skill
We will revolt
And we will kill
Impeach God!
We'll cause a storm
We will unite
We'll crush the houses
Tonight
The times come for a dark mutation
A closed whispered
Conversation
A planet's worth of blinded trusters
Born of blackened cosmic clusters

Don't you know there's blood on your hands

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."
