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.
I'm awake so
You better feed me now
I won't slow down
Once we have left this town
Rhymes and riddles
I'm still sleepy so
You must hurry
Please take your seats
You'll stay with me
Be with me
I'll be with you
I'll be with you
No one really knows the pain I'm going through
My final ride is almost done
The world has moved on now it's time to go
My final ride is almost done
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
I am nothing
But at train and
I assume that you don't like me
I'm insane but
Not yet crazy
I will never let you go
Enjoy the ride you'll stay with me
Stay with me
I'll stay with you
I'll stay with you
No one really knows the pain I'm going through
My final ride is almost done
The world has moved on now it's time to go
My final ride is almost done
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
I am the one I am the one
The godlike terror train
The superior, artificial brain
Feel free to call me Blaine
I will roll on
Riddle de-dumb, I'm best
Try me, try me,
I'll never fail that test
Blue's for girls and
Pink's for me
Cause
I'm the mono
Don't even dare to mess with me
No one really knows the pain I'm going through
My hate will last forevermore
The world has moved on now it's time to go
My hate will last forevermore
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
Beneath the demon moon
You better feed me now
I won't slow down
Once we have left this town
Rhymes and riddles
I'm still sleepy so
You must hurry
Please take your seats
You'll stay with me
Be with me
I'll be with you
I'll be with you
No one really knows the pain I'm going through
My final ride is almost done
The world has moved on now it's time to go
My final ride is almost done
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
I am nothing
But at train and
I assume that you don't like me
I'm insane but
Not yet crazy
I will never let you go
Enjoy the ride you'll stay with me
Stay with me
I'll stay with you
I'll stay with you
No one really knows the pain I'm going through
My final ride is almost done
The world has moved on now it's time to go
My final ride is almost done
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
I am the one I am the one
The godlike terror train
The superior, artificial brain
Feel free to call me Blaine
I will roll on
Riddle de-dumb, I'm best
Try me, try me,
I'll never fail that test
Blue's for girls and
Pink's for me
Cause
I'm the mono
Don't even dare to mess with me
No one really knows the pain I'm going through
My hate will last forevermore
The world has moved on now it's time to go
My hate will last forevermore
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
Come lift my spirit up, I'm Blaine!
Beneath the demon moon

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/
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.
Yea, that's who i mean, Hybrid. The camera never gets close enough to tell for sure, and the best shots of him come during the 2nd and 3rd choruses (approx 2:30 and 4:00). It does look like him from afar, and I think it would be a subtle reference for him to be there, especially since each time he appears over Jon's shoulder.
