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.
this may seem out of place
your subtle glance brings a smile to my face
and I thought it was so bizarre
the way the sun hit your eyes
thinking of you is like waking up to the sunrise
the sun is rising with the tide
sitting by the water's edge
underneath this pale light
I wish I could pause this moment forever
you said we needed time
I'm already there
and now you left me waiting
the sand on my feet
just the sound of your voice
it brings me comfort inside
sitting by the old side with your hands in mine
underneath this February sky
you said we needed time
I'm already there
and now you left me waiting
the sand on my feet
viewing the ocean from the sun's point of view
I miss the reflection and the contrast
you said we needed time
I'm already there
and now you left me waiting
the sand on my feet
your subtle glance brings a smile to my face
and I thought it was so bizarre
the way the sun hit your eyes
thinking of you is like waking up to the sunrise
the sun is rising with the tide
sitting by the water's edge
underneath this pale light
I wish I could pause this moment forever
you said we needed time
I'm already there
and now you left me waiting
the sand on my feet
just the sound of your voice
it brings me comfort inside
sitting by the old side with your hands in mine
underneath this February sky
you said we needed time
I'm already there
and now you left me waiting
the sand on my feet
viewing the ocean from the sun's point of view
I miss the reflection and the contrast
you said we needed time
I'm already there
and now you left me waiting
the sand on my feet

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.
