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 not saying it was your fault
Although you could have done more
Oh, you're so naïve, yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
Oh, and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way
Something so beautiful
Oh, that every time I look inside
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me
I may say it was your fault
Because I know you could have done more
Oh, you're so naïve, yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
Oh, and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way something so beautiful
Oh, that every time I look inside
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me
Ooh
So how could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
Oh, you're so naïve, yet so
It's such an ugly thing
For someone so beautiful
I'll die every time you're on his side
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me
Just don't let me down
So just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down, oh
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Although you could have done more
Oh, you're so naïve, yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
Oh, and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way
Something so beautiful
Oh, that every time I look inside
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me
I may say it was your fault
Because I know you could have done more
Oh, you're so naïve, yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
Oh, and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way something so beautiful
Oh, that every time I look inside
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me
Ooh
So how could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
Oh, you're so naïve, yet so
It's such an ugly thing
For someone so beautiful
I'll die every time you're on his side
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me
Just don't let me down
So just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down, oh
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down

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."
