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.
You still scared?
I'd be scared too
It's cool, though
Just holla back, aight?
All alone and I'm feeling warm and
Tryna wait, but my body's calling
You're the one, so why don't you come and rescue me?
I'll be here while you're on the way
And counting down 'til I see your face
And hurry up 'cause I love the way you rescue me
Now, you're here, come on out the rain and
Soaking wet, body's glistening
Finally, we can do something, so rescue me
Can't believe how it's going down
I'm so obsessed with this love I found
It's got my head spinning 'round and 'round
Just rescue me
All night long
Take me away to another place
Rescue me
Save me, save me, save me
All night long
Take me away to another place
Rescue me
Save me, save me, save me
I come alive when I feel your touch
And I could drown in this pool of love
Now, you could get what I'm thinking of
Come rescue me
What you think couldn't be replaced
If you were gone, I would find a way
To get you back 'cause I love the way you rescue me
Laying here with you in the dark
I always knew you could shift my heart
When I'm with you, I don't wanna stop, so rescue me
Only you can fulfill my needs
Take me away from this agony
I wanna live out my fantasy, just rescue me
All night long
Take me away to another place
Rescue me
Save me, save me, save me
All night long
Take me away to another place
Rescue me
Save me, save me, save me
Ooh, ooh-oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh no
Ohh
All night long (all night long)
Take me away to another place (take me to another place)
Rescue me (rescue me)
Save me, save me, save me
All night long (all night long)
Take me away to another place (take me to another place)
Rescue me (rescue me)
Save me, save me, save me
All night long (all night long)
Take me away to another place (take me to another place)
Rescue me (Rescue me)
Save me, save me, save me
All night long (all night long)
Take me away to another place (take me to another place)
Rescue me (rescue me)
Save me, save me, save me
(Rescue me)
(Rescue me)
(Save me, save me)
(Rescue me)
(Save me, save me)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."
