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.
[Chorus]
Where my bitches that would freak wit me (cum' on let's Ride)
How many my niggas that would row wit me (cum' on let's Ride)
Where my bitches that would lie for me (cum' on let's Ride)
How many niggas that would die for me, die for me, die for me
Where the fuck my thugs at ready or not nigga ain't no turnin' back
Where the fuck my hoes at who I pimp hard when they want to get to a tap
But you know you can do that that love I'm just hear to fuck you know that love
Want you want baby roll it or what while you think about
Twist me a douche you holdin' me up how many bitches want to ride wit me
Or cum true wit the top down like
Where my bitches at hop in make it fast don't slow me down
Where the fuck my killers at end of the light
Weight now pop a gun wit them now
Where the fuck them clowns at kickin' the dough for the pussy by the hour
Where the them hoers at get your dough mama
I'm ride till the end of the baby this life gonna drive me crazy
Been getting high lately wonderin' where the lord gonna take me
Where the fuck my gangsters at coo never sweat under the gun
Where the fuck my Mistress at at cock back ready to pop something
Since you niggas all about frontin let's how and when you want
Ya don't want my thugs to get up on it
Leave it alone 'cause we bought our liquor, now
[Chorus: x2]
Bitch niggas better smarten up
Before I bring out the toast and touch you up
Fuckin' wit Ja you know you got a lot of luck
But nowadays you ain't gettin' out as much
What the fuck is up baby boy you scared or what
I Swiss nothin' but the hot shit
So I hear you want to pop shit you don't know who you
Fuckin' wit let me show how life's a Bitch
I went through drug money hustlin' every day to get a taste
Through gun or blood money Killin' niggas back then for a small face
Got in the hot money wish yours was mine in every case
Now it's cream money spelt the raw and if more get chased
Holla out my niggas be the word of mouth
My bitches bang head like the dirty south nigga bounce
Row my niggas ride my bitches if you ain't heard nigga ride out wit us
Where the fuck all my murderers hit up wit the heat nigga just because
Got the whole world wonderin' what the motive was, let's ride
[Chorus]
(The Lord is callin' me) recently but ain't got time to speak
(Lord what you want from me) hope it ain't my time for the glen to reap
(niggas be killin' me) turn around look them mud eye gun 'em down
(That's how I hit 'em and) cool 'em off what the fuck is you hollin' bout
Niggas be run-in wild) paid to strip what ever happened to the sun hit
(Will never calm down) deal wit a lot of niggas get killed for this
(Especially my niggas) rest in peace to my dogs wit love till death
(For When I die niggas)never to hell I've been down wit some of the best yeah nigga
[Chorus]
Where my bitches that would freak wit me (cum' on let's Ride)

@[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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
