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.
Unlearn me
Ditch what I read behind what I heard
Look, find, free
Yet? Do you get it yet? Do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of
It all, it all
Evidence
March of the ant, pulse of the sea
Look, find, free
Yet? Do you get it yet? Do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of
It all, it all
Out of line and indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of
It all, it all
Everything I wanted
Wanted to know
Everything I wanted
Wanted to see
To see, yeah
Unlearn me
Unlearn me
Do you get it yet?
Look, find, free
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Ditch what I read behind what I heard
Look, find, free
Yet? Do you get it yet? Do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of
It all, it all
Evidence
March of the ant, pulse of the sea
Look, find, free
Yet? Do you get it yet? Do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of
It all, it all
Out of line and indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of
It all, it all
Everything I wanted
Wanted to know
Everything I wanted
Wanted to see
To see, yeah
Unlearn me
Unlearn me
Do you get it yet?
Look, find, free
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?

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.

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."
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song is a perfect song about evolution through life perfect because its kinda telling you that you cant say things like i think incubus should go back to how they were before, and, boyd should grow back his dreads... you cant expect people as deep as boyd not to change and evolve through life - their music must also change, if you like. Life is definitely not predictable and for goodness sake stop trying to plan it. (theres a little green day ditty with a similar theme on the tip of my tongue)
interesting that line - every piece contains a map of it all - 1st it made methink about the complexity of the human mind/brain apparently if you remove parts of your brain information isnt necessarily lost the essence is that the information is not stored in parts of the brain..but in the patterns of elextrical activity in your brain - but probably not what this song is about
