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.
Fear is an emotion inside us
Deeper growing my deaths content
Eating away our insides
Watching themselves and they step out of skin
So darkness it surrounds the being
Memories resurrected of pain
Remembered what?
Were reminded then
Of a the fear that's inside us and we'll give in today
Fear
Fuck you
Fear
Its inside you
Why am I here? Because you invited me
I can't help for your insecurity
You can't hide it from me cause I'm inside of you
I took it from you because your a freak show
I mend my soul without reason
Patiently conscience restrained
My life feels so nice
It seems my darkness disguised entity
Shrouded in lifetimes of misery
Turned and it swells in my fate
Repeated what?
Disregarded then
Of the visions in my mind reflected mistake
Fear
Fuck you
Fear
Its inside you
Why am I here? Because you invited me
I can't help for your insecurity
You can't hide it from me cause I'm inside of you
I took it from you because your a freak show
Why!?
Hostile manner that's my fear
Sets back in my body goodnight
Relayed needles
Now floating feeling with soul striped from rine
Wrapping dead bodies accending
Vision restored to my eyes
Confidence what ??
Through defiance why ?
I've just now lifted from dead soiled time
Fear
Fuck you
Fear
I'm inside you
My hand upon you
Your life gets a clue I'm finished
Why am I here? Because you invited me
I can't help for your insecurity
You can't hide it from me cause I'm inside of you
I took it from you because your a freak show
Fear its violent
Sleeping inside me
Cry out just can't sickness inside me
Sickness full of weakness in motion
Please let me free now get out of me!
Fear!
Fear!
Fear!
Fear!
Deeper growing my deaths content
Eating away our insides
Watching themselves and they step out of skin
So darkness it surrounds the being
Memories resurrected of pain
Remembered what?
Were reminded then
Of a the fear that's inside us and we'll give in today
Fear
Fuck you
Fear
Its inside you
Why am I here? Because you invited me
I can't help for your insecurity
You can't hide it from me cause I'm inside of you
I took it from you because your a freak show
I mend my soul without reason
Patiently conscience restrained
My life feels so nice
It seems my darkness disguised entity
Shrouded in lifetimes of misery
Turned and it swells in my fate
Repeated what?
Disregarded then
Of the visions in my mind reflected mistake
Fear
Fuck you
Fear
Its inside you
Why am I here? Because you invited me
I can't help for your insecurity
You can't hide it from me cause I'm inside of you
I took it from you because your a freak show
Why!?
Hostile manner that's my fear
Sets back in my body goodnight
Relayed needles
Now floating feeling with soul striped from rine
Wrapping dead bodies accending
Vision restored to my eyes

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
the whole "beginning of all things" album was called "kill i oughta" and was mudvayne's first album. the song w/the clip is on that album but the little clip at the beginning was removed for the new album. so theres your answer
