He certainly did earn that reputation.
September never stays this cold
Where I come from
And you know
I'm not one (I'm not one) for complaining (for complaining)
But I love the way you'd roll
Excuses off the tip of your tongue
As I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
Fall apart
Is falling apart
Is falling apart
Is falling apart
As of this won't mean a thing come tomorrow
And that's exactly how I'll make it seem
'Cause I'm still not sleeping
Thinking I've crawled home from worse than this
So please, please (please)
I'm running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy)
And I never said I'd take this
I never said I'd take this lying down
She says
"Come on, come on, let's just get this over with"
She says
"Come on, come on, let's just get this over with"
I never said I'd take this lying down (let's just get this over with)
And I've crawled home from worse than this
She says
"Come on, come on, let's just get this over with"
You always come close but this never comes easy
I still know everything
You always come close but you never come easy
I still know everything
This always comes close but you never come easy
I still know everything
You always come so close
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but you never come easy
You're coming in, you're coming close
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
But I've crawled home from worse than this
If it's not keeping you up nights
Then what's the point?
Then what's the point?
Then what's the point?
Then what's the point?
I'm in your room
Is this turning you on?
Am I turning you on?
I'm in your room
Are you turned on?
I'm on the corner of your bed
I'm thinking maybe
Are you turned on?
Are you turned on?
Where I come from
And you know
I'm not one (I'm not one) for complaining (for complaining)
But I love the way you'd roll
Excuses off the tip of your tongue
As I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
Fall apart
Is falling apart
Is falling apart
Is falling apart
As of this won't mean a thing come tomorrow
And that's exactly how I'll make it seem
'Cause I'm still not sleeping
Thinking I've crawled home from worse than this
So please, please (please)
I'm running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy)
And I never said I'd take this
I never said I'd take this lying down
She says
"Come on, come on, let's just get this over with"
She says
"Come on, come on, let's just get this over with"

This always comes close but you never come easy
I still know everything
You always come so close
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but you never come easy

Are you turned on?
Are you turned on?

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."
does anybody know where i could download this version of the song? i've heard it before but i can't find it anywhere now
