Nobody�s around
Except the basement
And the trap sets
And the feeling
That you�re leaving
That it�s not much worth believing
Nobody is here
So I guessed it
That you left me
And to stay here just gets harder
And the pain makes you try farther
Its nothing left of
What was sacred
If there was I�m sure we�d break it
Cause that�s just the way we are man
And it�s far to late to change it
And the places
And the vases
And the flowers cut to fit them
Hey I�m sorry I didn�t notice
Tried to tell you I wouldn�t notice
And on and on
With the ones
Left behind
But where
Do you feel at home
That�s the guilt
Of suicide
And everything you said
(You�re all the same)
It�s all I ever thought it was
(You�re all the same)
It�s all this time
Just all this time
(You�re all the same)
That�s all there is
There is , there is
And everything I�ve tried to say
And all you want is to go away
(You�re all the same)
I�ll wait here but your not here
Forget, forget, forget
(You�re all the same)
Nobody is home
So I guess I�ll start pretending
And the air keeps getting colder
And my friends keep getting older
And I know you knew the answer
It grew inside you like a cancer
Try to stop it make it leave you
But it won�t and that�s what scares you
And I know its not forever
Trying so hard
To be clever
I never wanted this to happen
Why the hell this have to happen
And you left me like you always said you wouldn�t
But you did it
And I knew it
It has to happen
Ever since you turned into them
And on and off
With the ones
Left behind
And where
Do you feel at home
After your
Suicide
And everything you said
(off to shame)
I never should have bought it
....

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Mountain Song
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
“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.
