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 ain't got a dollar but I'm feeling like a millionaire
You know that we're already
Ain't got the answers
But I guess I never really cared
You know that we're already there
Yeah, we already there
We ready to wear
We been through craziness
But we always come prepared
I feel like half of a stock, feel like Louis Vuitton
I feel like John Legend, mixed with a little Kan
This is our generation, this is our time
We revolutionaries standing on the front line
I always got your back, so now let's get the fame
We taking giant steps, John Coltrane
I ain't got a dollar but I'm feeling like a millionaire
You know that we're already
Ain't got the answers
But I guess I never really cared
You know that we're already
So everybody in the world if you hear me now
Put your hands in the air if you with me now
This goes out to the dreamers everywhere
You know that we're already there
[Big Sean]
Big bottles, I deserve the big bottles
Keep that champagne pop, pop, pop, pop
Might just need your goggles
I got good drinks, bad girls
You know opposites attract
You see, I came from the bottom
So what's the opposite of... that?
Top shelf, top floor, got a top model with her top off
Got a top chef, making five course
I'm top five, then drop four
Is this the top of the world, world?
I'm living with the people I die for
If they ain't at the top with you, then you ain't at the top
I ain't got a dollar but I'm feeling like a millionaire
You know that we're already
Ain't got the answers
But I guess I never really cared
You know that we're already
So everybody in the world if you hear me now
Put your hands in the air if you with me now
This goes out to the dreamers everywhere
You know that we're already there
That is where we're trying to be
Where the road is trying to lead
I'm gonna get there even if I should fall
I pick it up again, up again
Moving on, I find a way
All I can do is what I do today
Don't you know we're already there there there yeah
I ain't got a dollar but I'm feeling like a millionaire
You know that we're already
Ain't got the answers
But I guess I never really cared
You know that we're already
So everybody in the world if you hear me now
Put your hands in the air if you with me now
This goes out to the dreamers everywhere
You know that we're already there
I'm feeling like a millionaire
You know that we're already
You know that we're already
Ain't got the answers
But I guess I never really cared
You know that we're already there
Yeah, we already there
We ready to wear

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
