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.
Not much to lean on, I'll get through it
You know I do it to myself anyway
She's got my calls blocked and she's through with it
You know I do it to myself anyway
You know I think it might be time
To give myself a rise and shine
And I'll be happy and my couch is gonna miss me
And all the girls will want to kiss me
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (I can't wait around forever)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone (Yeah)
She's got a boyfriend, I'm looking through it
And I can't do it to myself anyway
And I won't slam her cause I blew it
You know I do it to myself anyway
And maybe she doesn't have the time
To deal with issues such as mine
And she'll be happy but I swear she's gonna miss me
Cause all the girls will want to kiss me
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (I can't wait around forever)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone
And I
Don't know what else to say
I don't know what else to say (Yeah)
And I
I'm better off this way
I'm better off this way without you anyway
Gotta get my shit together (It's dragging on)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (She might be gone)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
I've gotta get my shit together (I can't wait around forever)
Gotta get my shit together (She might be gone)
Yea! Oh! c'mon!
You know I do it to myself anyway
She's got my calls blocked and she's through with it
You know I do it to myself anyway
You know I think it might be time
To give myself a rise and shine
And I'll be happy and my couch is gonna miss me
And all the girls will want to kiss me
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (I can't wait around forever)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone (Yeah)
She's got a boyfriend, I'm looking through it
And I can't do it to myself anyway
And I won't slam her cause I blew it
You know I do it to myself anyway
And maybe she doesn't have the time
To deal with issues such as mine
And she'll be happy but I swear she's gonna miss me
Cause all the girls will want to kiss me
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (I can't wait around forever)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone
And I
Don't know what else to say
I don't know what else to say (Yeah)
And I
I'm better off this way
I'm better off this way without you anyway
Gotta get my shit together (It's dragging on)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (She might be gone)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
I've gotta get my shit together (I can't wait around forever)
Gotta get my shit together (She might be gone)
Yea! Oh! c'mon!

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."

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.
lol, don't ridicule me if i'm wrong but could this be about a guy and his psychiatrist who might've been helping him get over a break up? and him sort of becoming dependent on her and falling in love with her, and being OTT obsessed so she ended up having to block his calls etc. he thinks she really might be gone' so he decides to pull himself together and move on himself.
