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.
First floor (uh-oh)
Room sixteen (uh-oh)
Smells like danger (let's go)
Even better (let's go)
Set your goals (uh-oh)
Bless our souls (uh-oh)
I'm in trouble (yes, I know)
But it feels like heaven (hey!)
You were like one of those guys
The kind with a wandering eye (hey!)
But I said, hey what the hell?
For once in my life I'll take a ride on the wild side
You were so full of yourself
But damn, were you cute, as well (hey!)
You liked my legs, I liked your moves
Anyone could tell that it's hard to deny that
I did it again now
I've got it all wrong
But it felt so right
I can't believe it
No more mistakes that
Went on for too long
Wish there was a way
I could delete 'em
Eh, eh, eh, eh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Eh, eh, eh, eh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Second night (uh-oh)
In a row (uh-oh)
Back in trouble (let's go)
I don't get it (let's go)
Gotta keep it down (uh-oh)
It'll all be cool (uh-oh)
If we ignore 'em (yes, I know)
Getting better (hey!)
When it comes to men, it's known
That I end up choosing wrong (hey!)
'Cause I always trip and fall
On the same old rock and repeat and go back
How blind a girl can be (ooh)
To miss you hide your ring (hey!)
But I bought everything
I'm so naive, and I'd like you to know that
I did it again now
I've got it all wrong
But it felt so right
I can't believe it
No more mistakes that
Went on for too long
Wish there was a way
I could delete 'em
Eh, eh, eh, eh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Eh, eh, eh, eh, uh, uh, uh, uh
It might seem to you that I am in a place
Where I'm losing the direction of my life
But I'm sure that this is nothing but a phase
Right back at ya, 'cause I'll survive
It might seem to you that I am in a place
Where I'm losing the direction of my life
But I'm sure that this is nothing but a phase

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
THE CORRECT LYRICS ARE:
"You were like one of those guys The kind with a wandering eye But I said, "hey what the hell, once in my life I'll take a ride on the wild side" You were so full of yourself But damn, were you cute, as well You liked my legs, I liked your moves Anyone could tell that it's hard to deny that"
"Second night in a row Back in trouble I don't get it Gotta keep it down Because the Lobby called We ignore 'em (yes, I know) its getting better"
