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.
I might have so far to go
And the moments left behind
I started gasping for air
Got that, i’m still breathing
Swallow the pain,
I thought I didn’t need it, didn’t need it at all
When I watch the cut heal,
I know my heart is still beating
It’s safe to say that nothing lasts forever
Just like I can not escape tomorrow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll feel the start until we see what we’ve become
When that’s the left for us to follow
We’ll keep moving on
Might not have so far to go
Just to leave the mešs behind
(leave the mess behind)
I see the sun coming up
I know it’s worth believing
Have you lost my mind?
Have you lost the feeling?
It’s been there all along
It makes me feel strong to know my heart’s still beating
It’s safe to say that nothing lasts forever
Just like I can not escape tomorrow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll feel the start until we see what we’ve become
When that’s the left for us to follow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll keep moving on
Feel the beat of my broken heart
Feel the beat as we’re moving on
Feel the beat of my broken heart
Feel the beat as we’re moving on
It’s getting awkward, faith will survive
So feel the beat of my broken heart
It’s getting old we’ve been here for so long
So feel the beat of my broken heart
It’s safe to say that nothing lašts forever
Just like I can not escape tomorrow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll feel the start until we see what we’ve become
When that’s the left for us to follow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll keep moving on
And the moments left behind
I started gasping for air
Got that, i’m still breathing
Swallow the pain,
I thought I didn’t need it, didn’t need it at all
When I watch the cut heal,
I know my heart is still beating
It’s safe to say that nothing lasts forever
Just like I can not escape tomorrow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll feel the start until we see what we’ve become
When that’s the left for us to follow
We’ll keep moving on
Might not have so far to go
Just to leave the mešs behind
(leave the mess behind)
I see the sun coming up
I know it’s worth believing
Have you lost my mind?
Have you lost the feeling?
It’s been there all along
It makes me feel strong to know my heart’s still beating
It’s safe to say that nothing lasts forever
Just like I can not escape tomorrow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll feel the start until we see what we’ve become
When that’s the left for us to follow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll keep moving on
Feel the beat of my broken heart
Feel the beat as we’re moving on
Feel the beat of my broken heart
Feel the beat as we’re moving on
It’s getting awkward, faith will survive
So feel the beat of my broken heart
It’s getting old we’ve been here for so long
So feel the beat of my broken heart
It’s safe to say that nothing lašts forever
Just like I can not escape tomorrow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll feel the start until we see what we’ve become
When that’s the left for us to follow
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll keep moving on

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."
