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.
Ooh, rain been pourin' down
Every day my mind is cloudy
Got enough tears to fill the sea
They say that I'm a drag
Tell me, I be lookin' sad
And nobody wants to party with me
And it's because of you, the shitty things you do
The low ways that you treat me, endlessly
I was gonna leave you 'til you kissed it (kissed it)
I wanted to leave you, then you kissed it (kissed it)
I was gonna leave you, then you dipped it (dipped it)
Baby you fixed it (fixed it) when you kissed it (kissed it)
I don't wanna fight baby
Kiss it (kiss it) 'cause I miss it (miss it)
Make it alright (alright)
Boy you light a fire in me
Ooh ooh
Ooh, you treat me like a dog
Tell me all I do is wrong
Treat me like I wear a training bra
You push my love away
Then you come to save the day
Then the next thing I be seein' ya
With other girls in the club
It don't feel like lovin' to me, me
I was gonna leave you 'til you kissed it (kissed it)
I wanted to leave you, then you kissed it (kissed it)
I was gonna leave you, then you dipped it (dipped it)
Baby you fixed it (fixed it) when you kissed it (kissed it)
I don't wanna fight baby
Kiss it (kiss it) 'cause I miss it (miss it)
Make it alright (alright)
Boy you light a fire in me
Ooh ooh
Now let me hear you, all you hot boys? (Oh)
Ya bring me down, you bring me up
It's alright (it's alright) 'cause it's a love thing
Yeah, it's a long thing
One more time, love thing
Now alright (alright)
Now all you ladies with a hot boy (woo)
They bring you down, they build you up
It's alright (it's alright) 'cause it's a love thing
Say, love thing, say, love thing
I was gonna leave you 'til you kissed it (kissed it)
I wanted to leave you, then you kissed it (kissed it)
I was gonna leave you, then you dipped it (dipped it)
Baby you fixed it (fixed it) when you kissed it (kissed it)
I don't wanna fight baby
Kiss it (kiss it) 'cause I miss it (miss it)
Make it alright (alright)
Boy you light a fire in me
I was gonna leave you 'til you kissed it (kissed it)
I wanted to leave you, then you kissed it (kissed it)

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."

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think it's about the up and down relationship, and how guys drive her crazy, but then sexually is amazed.
