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.
Dun nun nun
Dun nun nun
Dun Dun Dun
Orale!
My Momma talk to me,
Try to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her,
'cos my head is like a sieve
My daddy, he disowned me,
'cos I wear my sisters clothes
He caught me in the bathroom,
with a pair of pantyhose
My basketball coach,
he just kick me off the team
For wearing high heels sneakers,
and acting like a queen
Gonna tie my pecker to a tree to a tree
Gonna tie my pecker to a tree to a tree
Gonna tie his pecker to a tree
Get your boogie off
Go Head
The world is coming to an end and I dont give a dam
As long as I have my bitch
Oh and my fly gear
It don't bother me, if people think I'm funny
'cos I'm a big rock star, and I make lots of money
Money, money, money...
Are you talking pesos?
Money, ka ching
Ha, ha, ha
Lots of money
I'm so bloody rich
Lots of money
Lots of muthafuckin money
I get looks
Ha, ha, ha
I own shopping centres, parking lots,
and stocks, and all that shit
Ha, ha, ha
I own you, ha, you too, you three
For me, he he, oh oh
Get your groove off
Let's bring it back one more time Jonathan
Jonathan on them drums, getting ever slower
more groovin, slow that shit down
crazy slow, come on, death, right here, slow, ah
Don't give a fuck, break it out
You even know, Boy George is on heroin
We don't give a fuck
Rick James is in the crack house
I'm fuckin paying, that's all that matters
Ha, ha, ha, ha, aahh, ha, ha, ha
The bomb is a fuckin in the house
Loco! Ooooh aahhh oooo
Gimme some,
Dun nun nun
Dun Dun Dun

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
fieldy doesnt sound like cheeh marin, they got cheeh marin on to sing this song. Korn were big fans of Cheech and Chong, and wanted to do a cover of this song. plus korn were all into their pot (not to mention other drugs) around the time they recorded follow the leader. it has no meaning, if it does, its from the stoned ramblings of Cheech Marin.
Yeah, for the 'mod' dude who had 1st comment, they all played their on instuments and Cheech did vocals....it says that on the Follow the leader CD cover...
this song is fun. they sometimes change their "positions": fieldy -> vox jon -> drums david -> bass (didnt kno he can play the bass!)
yeah fieldy just tells alot of funny stuff ;) cant see a clear meaning of this. "Get your groove off" (and things like that) influence of hip hop.
@mod7t9z730 That's definitely Fieldy on the bass, dude.
Don't you mean "Get your groove on"?
Well, if there's a meaning at all, it would be going from a childhood of being looked down on and pushed aside to being rich and famous, and then rubbing it in everyone's faces.
it's actually an old song from a Cheech And Chong movie, dont remember the name right now...it's the one where they have the van made out of weed...in the movie it was cheech trying to write a punk/metal song...so no real meaning, just a funny song
i know what ur talkin about i love liana.
The movie was their first one from like 197?...It's a classic: "Up In Smoke"
And if their was one of member of korn that for sure gets "Up in Smoke" it would be feildy, which by the way is a damn good bass player.
I can't believe how much Feildy actually sounds like Cheech Marin
i hear its AMAZING when the purple-stuffed webworm in the flap jaw space with the tuning fork does a RAW BLINK on hairi kairi ROCK!!! I NEED SCISSORS! 61!!!
