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.
(If you came to party, throw your hands up
It's Saturday night, time to shake that ass) x 4
Oh my God
How do you get this track on your I-pod?
How do you get the sweat stain out of my Izod?
Watch it playa'
I'm comin' through you can say a prayer
Hummin' all night and all day'a
With the CD playa's
It's time for the perculator
Don't believe me? Ask the hater
Da maya', whos' headin' down to clubs on the escalator
(Get my money back, get my money back) x 7
Get my money back
Get my money back
Get my money back
Get my money back
I'm going down, da, da, da down
Below the Canal Street side of town
With the fake old chains, gin in my veins
Got a porno movie settin' on my brain
Wha'
Don't act like you didn't know
Got a hole in my crotch when I start the show
I know the crowd saw me pick my nose
I got a monkey in my pants, watch how it grows
(Get my money back, get my money back) x 7
Get my money back
I can't be, and I won't be stopped
We pop it off till the big beats drop
And I can't be, and I won't be stopped
Bitch don't try it, try it, try it
Can't be, and I won't be stopped
We pop it off till the big beats drop
And I can't be, and I won't be shopped
You can't buy it, buy it, buy it
(Get my money back, get my money back) x 7
Get my money back
Ya'll so stupid
All you gotta do is find this beat and loop it
Put it in the backpack of some cute kid
Who gave it to the DJ, to just reboot it
Made a gun, two fingers and a thumb
To get my money back, get my money back
Took a bite, from a cold Big Mac
Don't try me jack
Give you and your crew an anxiety attack
(Get my money back, get my money back) x 7
Get my money back
Get my money back
Get my money back
Get my money back
I wanna know can get my money back
It's Saturday night, time to shake that ass) x 4
Oh my God
How do you get this track on your I-pod?
How do you get the sweat stain out of my Izod?
Watch it playa'
I'm comin' through you can say a prayer
Hummin' all night and all day'a
With the CD playa's
It's time for the perculator
Don't believe me? Ask the hater
Da maya', whos' headin' down to clubs on the escalator
(Get my money back, get my money back) x 7
Get my money back
Get my money back
Get my money back
Get my money back
I'm going down, da, da, da down
Below the Canal Street side of town
With the fake old chains, gin in my veins
Got a porno movie settin' on my brain

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
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
