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 a lesbian
She's a lesbian
We are lesbians
Kissin' in the rain
Kissin' in the rain
I'm a lesbian
She's a lesbian
We are lesbians
Touch me there again
Touch me there again
I just licked your tongue
Won't you grab my butt
We're international hits from a foreign country
If I didn't have tits you wouldn't listen to me
We don't write our own songs, we don't do our own beats
We just fondle eachother, while the camera's rolling
We had boyfriends, but they never got blown
Now we're naked on the cover of that mag Rolling Stone
We're all over the news and the world is in shock
We're young and we're hot, and we don't like the cock
I'm a lesbian
She's a lesbian
We are lesbians
Kissin' in the rain
Kissin' in the rain
I'm a lesbian
She's a lesbian
We are lesbians
Touch me there again
Touch me there again
I just licked your tongue
Won't you grab my butt
Like a nasty car crash, you just can't look away
If you're a young girl then we'd give you some play
Because girls are so hot, and guys are passé
Did I mention we have sex, like, everyday
I guess we're a fad, or so I've been warned
If the money runs out, you'll see us starring in porn
We don't care if you're straight, it's okay if you watch
While I'm combing her hair, with her face in my crotch
People lookin' at me
Watching from their TV
Have we done enough
Model for lingerie
'Cause we're hot and gay
Should I show my muff
She's a lesbian
We are lesbians
Kissin' in the rain
Kissin' in the rain
I'm a lesbian
She's a lesbian
We are lesbians
Touch me there again
Touch me there again
I just licked your tongue
Won't you grab my butt
We're international hits from a foreign country
If I didn't have tits you wouldn't listen to me
We don't write our own songs, we don't do our own beats
We just fondle eachother, while the camera's rolling
We had boyfriends, but they never got blown
Now we're naked on the cover of that mag Rolling Stone
We're all over the news and the world is in shock
We're young and we're hot, and we don't like the cock
I'm a lesbian
She's a lesbian
We are lesbians
Kissin' in the rain
Kissin' in the rain
I'm a lesbian
She's a lesbian
We are lesbians
Touch me there again
Touch me there again
I just licked your tongue
Won't you grab my butt
Like a nasty car crash, you just can't look away
If you're a young girl then we'd give you some play
Because girls are so hot, and guys are passé
Did I mention we have sex, like, everyday
I guess we're a fad, or so I've been warned
If the money runs out, you'll see us starring in porn
We don't care if you're straight, it's okay if you watch

'Cause we're hot and gay
Should I show my muff

@[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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
