Relax, it's over
You belong to me, I fill your mouth with dirt
(Hahaha)
Relax, it's over
You can never leave
I take your second digit with me, love

You are my first
I can barely breathe, I find you fascinating
You are my favorite
Lay you down to sleep
It's all that I can do to stop, love

So blue, so broken, paper doll decays
I haven't left you yet
So cold, subversive, your eyes are full of bleach
Tomorrow, I will go away again, love

Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love, love

Oh god, oh god
Oh god, oh god, no god

It makes us all one, tears us apart (shut up)
Tears us apart, it tears us apart (shut up)
Tears us apart (shut up, shut up)
It tears us apart

It cuts us up
It cuts us
It cuts us, it cuts us
It cuts us
You can't leave

You are mine
You will always be mine
I can tear you apart
I can recombine you
All I want is to covet you all
You belong to me
I will kill you to love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you

Do you, do you see? Do you see?
Do you see? Do you see?

My love
My, my, my love
Just you and I in love
Just you and through it all

It's you and I in love
It's you and I in love
It's you and I
Just you and I turned around
(My life) just you and I
It's you and I turned around

I can smell you all over me
I can smell you
I can smell you all over me

I can smell you all over me, hahaha, oh

I told you
I fucking told you
I told you
I fucking told you

You'll live forever
You'll live forever, hahaha
You will live forever
You will

    The resonating effects of the "droning on" are to show symbolism. He will never stop now that he has crossed this line. Slipknot is second to only Mudvayne, in my opinion, and people who diss them on a Slipknot forum have no lives. (Get a FuCkINg clue!)

    P.S. Heather, you are a sexy bitch and I haven't even seen you. (lol)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Mountain Song
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."
