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 is the time
To let them know who's side your on
Everything's fine
No one got raped here
We had the time
Set up to leave to go back home
Back to our lives
I'll never let go
I want to go up to outer space
No one, but me and you
So far away
We may become forgotten
Take off today
And leave this world
We can't complain
Suspended high above you
Nothings the same
Nothing grows old
I want to go up to outer space
No one, but me and you
Just trying to get back home
To let them know who's side your on
Everything's fine
No one got raped here
We had the time
Set up to leave to go back home
Back to our lives
I'll never let go
I want to go up to outer space
No one, but me and you
So far away
We may become forgotten
Take off today
And leave this world
We can't complain
Suspended high above you
Nothings the same
Nothing grows old
I want to go up to outer space
No one, but me and you
Just trying to get back home

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
damn, i love this song... "So far away we may become forgotten Take off today and leave this world" i think it's one of their best songs...
This song is about him wanting to go somewhere far away with his loved one, away from the world, just to get away and be by themselves.
i'm not sure what this song means....but this song to mean explains how me and my mom would like to leave our town, our state, our country, even our planet!!! things haven't gone great for either of us, and we wish we could start over in a new place!!! we want to find our home, in other words.... where we belong and where we can be happy!!! that's all we want!! Maybe i'm way off about the song, but that's how i feel when i listen to it!!
I might be way off, but I'm thinkin he wrote it for a girl he was with at one time or another. And almost all the time he had to spend with her, someone messed that up for them so he just wants to be alone with the girl for a dammed minute.
Cold has so many reoccurring themes, back Home is on A Different Kind of Pain, outerspace is in give from the self titled CD, and the line "no one got raped here" is in Sick of Man. Scooter's lyrics are more like poetry then metal, he really is a genius.
Amazing song which in my opinion is a fantasy/odyssey type dream he's having that's recurring where he takes off with his girl and leaves the world and finds a new one cause he's never been happy in this world.
