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 really, I really
Oh, I really need to know
I really, I really
Oh, or else you gotta let me go
I really, I really
This time I really need to do things right
Shivers that ya give me keep me freezing all night
You make me, shudder, oh yeah
I can't believe it,
I'm not myself,
Suddenly I'm thinkin' of 'bout no one else
You make me shudder
I really
Oh I really need to know
Or else you gotta let me go
Your just a fantasy girl
It's an impossible world
All I want is just you and me always
I'll give you everything
Give some attention to me
All I want is just you and me always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
'Cause you feel so good
You make me stutter, stutter, oh
If I could touch you, I'd never let go
Now ya got me screaming and I cannot shut up, oh, shut up, yeah
Now I am lying on the bedroom floor barely even speaking
And I cannot get up
Oh I really, I really, I really need to know
Or else you gotta let me go
Your just a fantasy girl
It's an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
I'll give you everything
Give some attention to me
All I want is just you and me always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
'Cause you feel so good
You make me stutter, stutter, stutter
You knock me down, I can't get up, I'm stuck
Gotta stop shaking me up
I can't eat, can't sleep, can't think,
Sinking under
Sinking under
Your just a fantasy girl
It's an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
I'll give you everything
Give some attention to me
All I want is just you and me always
Your just a fantasy girl
It's an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
'Cause you feel so good
You make me stutter
You make me stutter (I really, I really)
You make me stutter (I really, I really)
You make me stutter (I really, I really)
Oh, I really need to know
I really, I really
Oh, or else you gotta let me go
I really, I really
This time I really need to do things right
Shivers that ya give me keep me freezing all night
You make me, shudder, oh yeah
I can't believe it,
I'm not myself,
Suddenly I'm thinkin' of 'bout no one else
You make me shudder
I really
Oh I really need to know
Or else you gotta let me go
Your just a fantasy girl
It's an impossible world
All I want is just you and me always
I'll give you everything
Give some attention to me
All I want is just you and me always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
'Cause you feel so good
You make me stutter, stutter, oh
If I could touch you, I'd never let go
Now ya got me screaming and I cannot shut up, oh, shut up, yeah
Now I am lying on the bedroom floor barely even speaking
And I cannot get up
Oh I really, I really, I really need to know
Or else you gotta let me go
Your just a fantasy girl
It's an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
I'll give you everything
Give some attention to me
All I want is just you and me always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
'Cause you feel so good
You make me stutter, stutter, stutter

You make me stutter (I really, I really)
You make me stutter (I really, I really)
You make me stutter (I really, I really)

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I feel that this song fits very well with my own experience with love. I'd give everything to a relationship that really isn't there and never take the chance, (i'd stutter) Let it just fly past me. I'd still feel the pain and joys of love that's not there. (can't eat,can't sleep...etc) But she'll alwasy just be a fantasy girl and i'm just living in this impossible world where i'm with her always. Definatly my favorite from Hands All Over.
