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.
Thought everything was perfect but now I' m left deserted
Red handed caught cheating, my heart is beating but why deserve it
I use to love her but now I want to watch her suffer
It makes me sick to my stomach ,thinking she sleeps with others
I wanna break her pictures, I wanna burn her pictures
Everything we had is long and now im glad its gone with her
She wasn' t lying, denying that things were all right
But meanwhile she was up fucking him all night
And All the things that you said are all stuck in my head
I' m such an idiot to let you crawl back into my bed
Those phone numbers in your pockets weren' t mine
So fuck you both and don' t act like it' s the first time
While you were sleeping, I was out creaping
Said I went out with friends but I was cheating
When you were at home I was at his house
Slept in his bed, you slept all alone
We use to be together, thought it would be forever
Until she turned around and ripped my heart right through my sweater
How come you so ungreatful? How come it' s still painful?
Your not so perfect, was it worth it to be unfaithful?
How can I be so naive, sometimes I' m so trusting
She sleeps with me and sleeps with him that' s so discussing
Touching other peoples properties
Obviously your down with O.P.P.
That makes you nature naughty
every thing she told me was a fuckin lie
Everything she ever did was with some other guy
We should of never hooked up, thought you were one of a kind
You want to act like a slut,then do it on your own time
While you were sleeping, I was out creaping
Said I went out with friends but I was cheating
When you were at home I was at his house
Slept in his bed, you slept all alone
I never knew it could ever hurt like this
I dedicate this to you, you bitch
I never knew it could ever hurt like this
I dedicate this to you, you bitch
Oh my god I never knew love was so fatal
She makes Paris Hitlon look like a fucking angel
That back stabbing bitch, what happened made me sick
It' s the same story different authors, man the same old shit
I wanted a perfect girl, it' s not a perfect world
Cuz she' s a superstar, gold digging type of girl
My dear, My dear, My dear, you don' t know me but I know you very well
And let me tell you that you make my life a living hell
I' m living well without you, I doubt you will ever really see the amount of trash you amount too
She' s a part time lover, undercover no class
So take them seat linens and shove them up your ass
I hope you are smart enough to learn from your dumb mistakes
Cuz if not you' ll learn the hard way when the condom breaks
I never knew it could ever hurt like this
I dedicate this to you, you bitch
I never knew it could ever hurt like this
I dedicate this to you, you bitch
Red handed caught cheating, my heart is beating but why deserve it
I use to love her but now I want to watch her suffer
It makes me sick to my stomach ,thinking she sleeps with others
I wanna break her pictures, I wanna burn her pictures
Everything we had is long and now im glad its gone with her
She wasn' t lying, denying that things were all right
But meanwhile she was up fucking him all night
And All the things that you said are all stuck in my head
I' m such an idiot to let you crawl back into my bed

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
awsome song about a girl that cheated on a guy
DCS ROCK'S
I agree with that, I couldn't have said it any better. Although a personal note to you puppet_master_72, there a bunch of missing/extra words that should(n't) be there.
so edit it then nobodys stopping you man
"She sleeps with me and sleeps with him that' s so discussing" Should be "that's so DISGUSTING"
wow this song is def missing alot of stuff ! lol its still an amazing song though
