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.
Ooh, yeah
I put the finger on you, yeah
My hands all out of control
Yes, I, I can't stop it gettin' down on you
It's moving on its own accord (yes)
I got fire in my fingertips
Radiating onto you
I can't control it, can't even hold it
It's knocking on your door and you know what it's for
I put the finger right on you
I put the finger right on you
You put your finger on me too
And I put the finger, I put the finger
Yeah, I put the finger, I put the finger
I put the finger on you for sure
It's the key to unlocking your door
Don't you know I've broken through your security
My hands ain't tied no more (you better watch out)
I can't control it, can't even hold it
Sneaking up for your pleasure
You can feel it on your ankle, feel it on your knee
Feel it on your thigh, can you feel me?
I put the finger right on you
I put the finger right on you
You put your finger on me too
And I put the finger, I put the finger
I put the finger
I put the finger on you
I can't control it, can't even hold it
Sneaking up for your pleasure
You can feel it on your ankle, feel it on your knee
Feel it on your thigh, can you feel me?
Put it right on you
Put it right on you
I'll do it if you want me to
Come on put it, come on put it
I put the finger on you
I put the finger on you
I put the finger on you
I put the finger on you
I put the finger on you
I put the finger on you (put the finger)
I put the finger on you
I put the finger on you
I put the finger on you
Gonna hit the spot
I put the finger right on
You
I put the finger on you, yeah

It's knocking on your door and you know what it's for
I put the finger right on you
I put the finger right on you
You put your finger on me too
And I put the finger, I put the finger
Yeah, I put the finger, I put the finger
I put the finger on you for sure
It's the key to unlocking your door
Don't you know I've broken through your security
My hands ain't tied no more (you better watch out)

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
A very underrated song, I'm surprised no one has commented on it yet. This song is obviously about touching a woman lol.
