""I became so sick of it all The feelings we found and the time that we shared The passion compared is no less divine In my mind are the swells that encompass the pain And the vision of her oh the feelings of pain And the memories that were now are gone Why should it have to end this way? Will they all just turn and forget us? There's only one thing left to find look around Oh and when my light is lost and spent Turn the pages It's your chosen last book Gave you everything All you need to make your decision Keep these wounds open for you Now they're closing Scars remind me every moment We'd had enough of satisfying lust And our intentions were so pure and innocent Pay the fool with life and he will find a way Play the fool Wish that you had never begun this endeavour Now light is gone And around and around and around (Wish that you had never begun this endeavour) (Now light is gone) Wish that you had never""

    After careful thought and putting the lyrics all together I've derived one uniting concept. A man is dying from a long drug addiction and how someone (a loved one) stood by him and tried to help him. This "book" might be the "12 steps" taken to recover from alcohol addiction. This is so open to interpretation and I just love it

    I'm not sure why it says instrumental. I have been trying to edit it to get it to show, but it won't allow me.

    [I. Acceptance]

    Now show your hands You have no right to complicate Now show your hands You have no right to complicate

    You put to me in your defense A circumstance in evidence That’s what you said To me it seems you advertised

    It’s your chosen last book Gave you everything, All you need to make your decision Keep these wounds open for you Now they’re closing Scars remind me every moment

    Revolve alone Revolve alone

    All I said I meant it Confused by the mire We stride relentlessly All I said I meant it

    Now show your hands You have no right to complicate Now show your hands You have no right to complicate

    Revolve alone become defenseless

    All I ever said Before the moment Twisting words inside my head All I ever said Take back everything, all I wanted All I ever needed was here

    [II. Deception]

    So my demons your time has come

    You will find me lay here You and I both entwined How refined an encounter You ignite within my mind With one desire When it falls into place Rush of fear takes over Suddenly you succumb to impatience and surrender

    So my demons your time has come

    Well I swear we are in limited landscapes Well I swear the tide swallows me You're in denial

    [III. The Impossible]

    Don’t you know how you’re feeling?

    Breathe in, Reach out The ocean swells, The ocean keeps me safe

    Don’t you know how to keep, keep me safe? Disgrace Is this how you plan on treating yourself?

    Breathe in, Reach out The ocean swells, The ocean keeps me safe

    You’re in denial Don’t you know how you’re feeling? Don’t you know how you’re feeling? Don’t you think it’s been long enough? Don’t you know how you’re feeling? You’re in denial Don’t you think it’s been long enough?

    Open your mind before The impossible consumes us all So many people Don’t close your eyes

    [IV. Perfection]

    Give me just one moment Through the eyes of the one in A picture perfect moment In the life of the one who is Something better, More than anything I will ever be Give me just one second Just to touch what I'll never own Let me count those feelings Of love that I will never share Show me your compassion In the dark of this world

    I would give it all For one taste of it Of everything I would give it all To become you Well I finally found out That this world, This whole worlds a lie And I'll try I would give it all to become you

    [V. Epiphany]

    (Instrumental)

    [VI. Origin]

    I became so sick of it all The feelings we found and the time that we shared The passion compared is no less divine In my mind are the swells that encompass the pain And the vision of her, oh, the feelings of pain And the memories that were now are gone

    Why should it have to end this way? Will they all just turn and forget us? There’s only one thing left to find, look around And when my light is lost and spent Turn the pages

    It’s your chosen last book Gave you everything, All you need to make your decision Keep these wounds open for you Now they’re closing Scars remind me every moment

    We’d had enough of satisfying lust And our intentions were so pure and innocent

    Pay the fool with life and he will find a way Play the fool

    Wish that you had never begun this endeavor Now light is gone And around and around and around Wish that you had never begun this endeavor Now light is gone Wish that you had never...

    I think this whole part is about a person who has lost the one they love. It completely devastates them and is incapable to go on with their life. Unable to overcome they decide the only thing left if suicide. Acceptance is when they made their final choice looking over a photo book at what they had. Deception and The Impossible is the wrestling with depression. Origin is wishing they could be the person that would have been. Origin is them remember whom was lost.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Mountain Song
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."
