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 leavin' the same way I came in
Looking forward but I can't see straight
It's just like I know where I'm going
It's just like me to fool myself
i want it bitch
Buried by the words of a higher?
i want it bitch
But I'm alive and I'm still breathin'
We're sane because of her taste
(You didn't say enough i want myself back)
My mind plays it over and over
Slow motion
But we're moving faster, moving faster
So much further
Let's not lose control
(Light a match just to watch it burn)
Struck
(Light a match just to watch you burn)
Where are you goin'? How far?
Where are you goin'?
(Let's give them HELL!)
We're sane because of her taste
((You didn't say enough i want myself back)
My mind plays it over and over
Slow motion
But we're moving faster, moving faster
So much further
Let's not lose control
(I'll bite the bullet)
(Just to save myself) (Oh!)
(Oh no, this ship is quickly sinking)
(We gotta take control, gotta take control)
(Oh no, this ship is quickly sinking)
(We gotta take control, gotta take control)
Slow motion
Now we're moving faster, moving faster
So much further
Now we're moving faster
(I'll bite the bullet)
Looking forward but I can't see straight
It's just like I know where I'm going
It's just like me to fool myself
i want it bitch
Buried by the words of a higher?
i want it bitch
But I'm alive and I'm still breathin'
We're sane because of her taste
(You didn't say enough i want myself back)
My mind plays it over and over
Slow motion
But we're moving faster, moving faster
So much further
Let's not lose control
(Light a match just to watch it burn)
Struck
(Light a match just to watch you burn)
Where are you goin'? How far?
Where are you goin'?
(Let's give them HELL!)
We're sane because of her taste
((You didn't say enough i want myself back)
My mind plays it over and over
Slow motion
But we're moving faster, moving faster
So much further
Let's not lose control
(I'll bite the bullet)
(Just to save myself) (Oh!)
(Oh no, this ship is quickly sinking)
(We gotta take control, gotta take control)
(Oh no, this ship is quickly sinking)
(We gotta take control, gotta take control)
Slow motion
Now we're moving faster, moving faster
So much further
Now we're moving faster
(I'll bite the bullet)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
there are some mistakes in The lyrics.
Also, i guess blessthefall isn't christian anymore.
"Also, i guess blessthefall isn't christian anymore"
I think the lyrics may be "I'm what happens", it just sounds like their saying "I'm right here bitch" instead. Then again I could be wrong.
sorry, but you are wrong. The lyrics go "I'm right here, bitch"
it does say that but they just fucked the lyrics a bit....
No your wrong because i sent a message about two weeks to Blessthefall over myspace, and Eric said that those are the lyrics and said that No, Blessthefall is no longer a christian band, but he also said the lyrics are still positive.
im pretty sure that he is saying im what happens... i have no proof but thats just what it sounds like
actually i lied... i think its i want it bitch
could it be:
I'm leavin' the same way I came in Looking forward but I can't see straight It's just like I know where I'm going It's just like me to fool myself I'm what happens Buried by the words of a higher? I want it bitch But I'm alive and I'm still breathin' We're sane because of her taste (You didn't say enough i want myself back) My mind plays it over and over
Christian or not i love the lyrics music guitar vocals drums everything Bless The Fall is really good
don't give up on Blessthefall even if they are not christian god can change their lives forever if we pray for them
@followerofchrist .... Right on dude! I won't lie, I am very dispointed, but ultimately God can change it all. I am not saying go out and buy their album, but never give up on anyone. Heck ... I am still praying for Tool to get saved :)
these lyrics are so fucking wrong!!
I'm leavin' the same way I came in Looking forward but I can't see straight It's just like I know where I'm going It's just like me to fool myself im right here bitch Buried by the words of a liar im here bitch But I'm alive and I'm still breathin' We're sane because of her taste (You didn't say enough i want myself back) My mind plays it over and over
Slow motion But we're moving faster, moving faster So much further Let's not lose control (Light a match just to watch it burn) Struck (Light a match just to watch you burn) Where are you goin'? How far? Where are you goin'? (Let's give them HELL!)
We're sane because of her taste ((You didn't say enough i want myself back) My mind plays it over and over
Slow motion But we're moving faster, moving faster So much further Let's not lose control I'll bite the bullet Just to save myself Oh! Oh no, this ship is quickly sinking We gotta take control, gotta take control Oh no, this ship is quickly sinking We gotta take control, gotta take control
Slow motion Now we're moving faster, moving faster So much further Now we're moving faster (I'll bite the bullet)
these are the right lyrics for ya!
"We're sane because of her taste" <br /> No. no...<br /> It's actually..<br /> "That day becomes so haunting"
