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.
Oh a nigga wanna shoot at my set and miss me and then think it's all
Fuckin good, huh nigga what huh, which one of ya'll niggas huh, what
[Master P]
Haaaaaaa This weed got me trippin somtimes I see ghosts
I'm visualizing crosses damn it's really posters
You think some fuckin body despite my 40 crew punch
My daddy don't trust me say my minds out to lunch
Hangin wit killas dope dealers and drug dealers
Pullin off licks wit muthafuckin thug niggas
My momma said she shoulda killed me when I was a baby
'cause this ghetto got a young nigga crazy
P don't take no shit from no suckas
But ready to serve boulders to dem muthafuckin cluckers
If you want something come and get something (2x)
[C-Murder]
I got fiends runnin out the fuckin crack house
I'm not P but I dumpin niggas like Stackhouse
They call me see-murder I'm a member of that TRU click
You run up wrong boy you might get your wig split
I'm known in the ghetto for slangin narcotics
Them feds be watchin but dem hoes can't stop me shit
My game so tight ain't got no time fo slip-ups
I come up short I'ma bust yo fuckin lip up
'cause money and murder is the code that I live by
Come to ya set and do a muthafuckin walk by
Deep in the game preparing for the worst {What about dem po po's}
I wanna put em in a hearse
They took me to jail wit 2 keys in my back trunk
Fresh out the county still smellin like about a buck get some
If you want something come and get somethin (2x)
[Prime Suspects]
Ahhhhhhh niggas snorted that dope got ya speech all slurred
But you can buck if you want and think you won't get get served
How you figure that we was stackin G's on the low
How you figure that you can come kick in my door
Fuck around and get dimed talkin bout you ain't real niggas
From that weight and that Caliope arms swoll soldier
Never gave a fuck uptown raised so you know it's in my blood nigga
We shoot like they ruthless dees fools is made for walkin
No talkin in this jack move be cool
While see pet you crime is the way in these days
Niggas get left in a daze from AK's barrel pointed your way
Prime checks Prime Suspects prime nine
I'm a No Limit Soldier I'm out to get mine
If you want something come and get something (3x fade)
Fuckin good, huh nigga what huh, which one of ya'll niggas huh, what
[Master P]
Haaaaaaa This weed got me trippin somtimes I see ghosts

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."

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.
