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.
Found my way to the highway, I don't wanna tell you the state I'm in
I've had too much to smoke, too much to drink, where have I been?
I feel like the stars are getting closer and the sky is closing in
And I don't know where to begin
We're all looking for something, to take away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation (will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication
The way back to the right track, maybe you can help me find the door
Is it too much to ask, too much too fast, too much to ignore?
It feels like your body's getting closer but you seem so far away
Medicine make it ok
We're all looking for someone, to take away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation (will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication
So can you feel it?
Do you feel it coming down?
You gotta get up
Can you get up off the ground?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear me screaming?
So can you feel it?
Do you feel it coming down?
You gotta get up
Can you get up off the ground?
I wanna hear it
Wanna hear you breathing
We're all addicted to something, that takes away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation (will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication
I've had too much to smoke, too much to drink, where have I been?
I feel like the stars are getting closer and the sky is closing in
And I don't know where to begin
We're all looking for something, to take away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation (will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication
The way back to the right track, maybe you can help me find the door
Is it too much to ask, too much too fast, too much to ignore?
It feels like your body's getting closer but you seem so far away
Medicine make it ok
We're all looking for someone, to take away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation (will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication
So can you feel it?
Do you feel it coming down?
You gotta get up
Can you get up off the ground?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear me screaming?
So can you feel it?
Do you feel it coming down?
You gotta get up
Can you get up off the ground?
I wanna hear it
Wanna hear you breathing
We're all addicted to something, that takes away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation (will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication

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."
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
their singing about a girl that is like their drug (someone to take away the pain) and hes asking if its too bad of a thought for them to be together. and his world seems to be slowly ending
He wants help to get out of partying? maybe.
very hard song to find the meaning to.......nicocomsa got it pretty close
sounds like he's just about on his last leg...wanting to be with this girl and he's tryna find "the way back to the right track"...kinda sounds like he's in a depression too "medicine make it okay"...idk...its a really good song...boys like girls is an awesome group...they have a very bright future ahead -D
I think it's that he's falling for her, but she won't return the favor. He just doesn't know anymore and she's not making it any easier. So he turns to some form of medication that helps to get through the rought times.
I mostly look at these songs through my life- I take events from my life and put them into the effect of the song. Mostly because these songs greatly resemble distorted thoughts and un-happy events of mine.
Ahh I looove this song.
I don't think the meanings hard to find.
He means its him and a girl and his medication which is probally a substance that is affecting their relationship
The start of this song, the piano or guitar or whatever is it, reminds me of the Panadol Rapid ads, which is headache medication and that's what I think about every time I hear this song Not that is has anything to do with the meaning, I just thought it was a coincidence.
This song is pretty complex. It's about a guy loving a girl, and although he admits HE is addicted to HER. (she is his drug).... he wants to know if she is addicted to HIM or if she is REALLY just addicted to a substance. (hence the whole can u feel it?) etc etc btw...MAD GOOD BACKING VOCALS IN THIS DAYUM!!
I think this song is about some guy that got out of a relationship and he turned to something to take the pain away (smoking, drinking etc.) Hes just trying to get away from her and try and get his life back together hint "I don't wanna tell you the state I'm in "
I think this song is about taking medication to stop your chronic diarreha and your girlfriend breaking up with you because of it and all the problems it can cause.
