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.
Oooh Oooh
Still tryna capture the moment
I'm living in it
Still tryna pry your heart open
The sky's been my limit
I've been wondering if you
Are ever going to meet me halfway
Someday will you ever make me happy baby?
When I get there I'm finally free
When I get there I'm home
When I get there I'll turn the key
When I get there I'll know
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm going and I'll know it when I get there
Can't wait another minute cause your heart just isn't in it and it's not fair
When I get there I'm finally free
When I get there I'm home
When I get there I'll turn the key
When I get there I'll know
I see myself in a cathedral all dressed in white
I guess somone was willing and waiting to be there
By my side I don't know where I'll find him
But I'm sure enough gonna find him somewhere
Out there I know he's gonna make me happy baby
When I get there I'm finally free
When I get there I'm home
When I get there I'll turn the key
When I get there I'll know
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm going and I'll know it when I get there
Can't wait another minute cause your heart just isn't in it and it's not fair
I don't know how to make it so I guess I'm gonna
Fake it till I'm somewhere I don't know where I'm going But I'm going and I'll know it when I get there
I've been thinking about our situation
It's not what I want
If you can't get what you're giving
The you've got to be moving on
I've got no hard feelings
Just a heart that needs healing
It take time but I'll find another road
Then I will know he's the one
Sure as rain
Sure as sun
Til the day hope is gone I will keep holding on
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm going and I'll know it when I get there
Can't wait another minute cause your heart just isn't in it and it's not fair I don't know how to make it so I guess I'm gonna fake it till I'm somewhere I don't know where I'm going but I'm going and I'll know it when I get there
When I get there I'm finally free
When I get there I'm home
When I get there I'll turn the key
When I get there I'll know
When I get there I'm finally free
When I get there I'm home
When I get there I'll turn the key
When I get there I'll know
When I get there I'm finally free
When I get there I'm home
When I get there I'll turn the key
When I get there I'll know
Still tryna capture the moment
I'm living in it
Still tryna pry your heart open
The sky's been my limit
I've been wondering if you
Are ever going to meet me halfway
Someday will you ever make me happy baby?
When I get there I'm finally free
When I get there I'm home
When I get there I'll turn the key
When I get there I'll know
I don't know where I'm going

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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

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/
Okay i'm definitely feeling this song right now.
This song is about a girl who is with a guy, but the guy hasn't fully opened himself up to her when she's giving all her heart and soul. And now she's having second thoughts about their relationship.
-linds "i don't know where i'm going, but i'm going and i'll know it when i get there."
I loved this song when it first came out when I was in the sixth grade. The other day it came on randomly on my iTunes and I fell in love with it all over again. I think the meaning of the song is pretty straightforward. I just really love the sense of hopefulness in the song. It's like, "This relationship isn't gonna be forever, but there's something out there for me that's amazing and real and true." Amazing song.
I LOVE THIS SONG! IT IS SO HEARTFELT, AND TRUE. I THINK ANYONE CAN RELATE. THIS SONG IS ABOUT A GIRL WHO IS IN LOVE WITH A MAN, BUT SHE ISN'T SURE IF HE FEELS EXACTLY THE WAY SHE DOES. SHE IS READY TO MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL---MARRIAGE--AND HE IS STILL NOT SHOWING SIGNS OF OPENESS. SHE IS WILLING TO MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL OR JUST MOVE ON TO SOMEONE SHE CAN TRUST; SOMEONE SHE SAYS "WILL MAKE ME HAPPY."
