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.
So close, you waste it again,
I know, some how,
I lost myself,
Again,
Your making me high again,
I almost forgot myself again,
This was so high it kills me again,
Today.
So close, yet you rest again
Ah no, so high
Found ourselves, oh, oh
Then will be high, again
I almost forgot myself again
Its gets you so high, it kills again.
I almost forgot myself again,
I almost forgot myself again,
It eating me losing again,
Again, again.
I know, some how,
I lost myself,
Again,
Your making me high again,
I almost forgot myself again,
This was so high it kills me again,
Today.
So close, yet you rest again
Ah no, so high
Found ourselves, oh, oh
Then will be high, again
I almost forgot myself again
Its gets you so high, it kills again.
I almost forgot myself again,
I almost forgot myself again,
It eating me losing again,
Again, again.

@[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."

yeah i would definatly say this is about drugs.."You're wasted again" "It hits me so hard It kills me again "......all points in the way of drugs..... could be wrong though i spose.
i dunno, for me this song is definitely about matters of the heart. about trying to supress feelings you might have for someone. in the third and fourth verses its like he lets himself go for a moment, allows himself a glimmer of hope that there's a chance of happiness with this other person "I know, somehow... We'll find ourselves... I don't know, I don't know" (denying it)
"Then we'll be high again I almost forgot myself there" (pushing it back down)
but i think also he knows that the other person feels the same towards him - "It hits you so hard And kills again"
on a personal note, for me this song sums up a situation i had a while ago, fianlly finding a great boyfriend, but then finding out that another fling actually liked me too. its about trying to ignore feelings towards the other guy
i don't know what they intended this song to mean, but to me it's about when i get high and sometimes i forget who i am.
a long shot here but maybes it about climaxing.
I like the little "ding" cymbal noise in the song. It sounds like a timer went off - like a timer on a stove. To me it means "ding" - he's fully "baked" (i.e. stoned) and feeling good. The lyrics read like he hasn't been stoned in a long time because he quit some time ago, but just fell off the wagon and got stoned again. However, he sounds unsure that this was the right thing to do.
Funny, Elbow and Doves: uncanny resemblances Well, apart from the fact that they're both from Manchester, and it took them both 15 years or something to make big, they also have
It may be about drugs and how they make you lose yourself - or maybe about an affair. Whatever, i love this song!
beautiful song though, one of my favourites
could really be falling back into old habits or routines, be it drugs or relationships or whatever. its about relapsing into the old ways and how he can see it happening right in front of him.
for some reason it reminds me of Rear View Mirror by Grandaddy. although the songs dont sound alike at all...
