La mort s'estompe-t-elle ?
Tout a une fin m'a-t-on dit
Mais qu'en est-il de l'ombre qui sévit
Telle une étreinte irréelle
Peut-on comparer le décès d'un être
A la chute des empires de nos ancêtres
Ou à la déstructuration de la matière
Et l'envol des dernières prières

S'il n'y a d'autres choses que celles que l'on nomme
La mort ne serait donc pas sans l'interprétation de l'homme
N'est-il ainsi pas hasardeux de croire
En une abstraction engendrée par notre bon vouloir

Il se trouve que notre santé mentale exige
Que notre imagination se fige
Et se plie aux dogmes de nos précepteurs
Nous déresponsabilisant ainsi envers la peur
Qui de son souffle glacial nous menace
Et qui jamais ne se lasse
De nous rappeler sa traître présence
Défiant notre vaine impertinence

L'angoisse peut à présent naître
Car indirectement nous avons décidé de la faire apparaître

Rien n'existe, sauf les projections de notre esprit
Cet animisme inconscient qui donne un sens à une vie
Qui n'en a point
Une existence futile qui n'a rien
D'autre que ses propres constructions
Et les articulations de sa dite raison
Elle-même animant les signes actuellement hurlés
Par celui qui avait décidé de ne pas geler

La mort nous disions donc
Serait en mesure d'effrayer quiconque
Bois avidement l'enseignement aviné
Des représentants du passé
Eux-mêmes victimes de la triste crédulité
Dont tant se voient animés
Comptant nombre représentants de l'auto-proclamée élite
En réalité surestimée classe parasite

S'il n'y a d'autres choses que celles que l'on nomme
La mort ne serait donc pas sans l'interprétation de l'homme
N'est-il ainsi pas hasardeux de croire
En une abstraction engendrée par notre bon vouloir

L'homme a donc peur de lui-même
Et des fruits de son imagination
Nous devons, je le pense, tendre vers une simplification
De notre raisonnement à l'extrême

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Mountain Song
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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
