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.
[Verse 1 (Mr. Faceless)]
Listen, I am the Faceless in Charge
I am in charge of your life
I'm the Empire
All, all of your dreams I will feed
I'll frighten all to believe
You are a king
[Bridge 1 (Mr. Faceless)]
I'm the news all watch
The prejudice all trade
The preaches all believe
[Chorus (Mr. Faceless)]
So, hear my spell and you'll have
All that you need and deserve
All I want back is your soul
Safe in my chamber will be
Come to be my slave
Or into hell I'll throw you
[Mr. Faceless]
Look into my eyes,
The eyes of skill and truth
Listen to what I say little beginner
You cannot find your life,
My jungle will pick you up
Too much for you,
You're my prey
[Stell Lord]
The underworld has blown
Your lands we will trespass
You cannot hide us for so long
The men without their freedom
Mr. Faceless you can bet on that
These men are now already dead
[Narrator]
And he says...
The burning cold silence
Is wasting away the souls
Dead dreams awake
Inside the men in chains
Mr. Faceless says "guilty",
For the crime of try
He's waiting for your decision
To give up and say goodbye
[Verse 2 (Mr. Faceless)]
Wars, I'm the war bringer of all
My media tells why die for:
Mind slaving all
How... how can you start a breakout?
If I will make all believe
God is by my side
[Bridge 2 (Mr. Faceless)]
I tell to whom you'll pray
My laws you will obey
Do not go further
[Chorus (Mr. Faceless)]
Listen, I am the Faceless in Charge
I am in charge of your life
I'm the Empire
All, all of your dreams I will feed
I'll frighten all to believe
You are a king
[Bridge 1 (Mr. Faceless)]
I'm the news all watch
The prejudice all trade
The preaches all believe
[Chorus (Mr. Faceless)]
So, hear my spell and you'll have
All that you need and deserve
All I want back is your soul
Safe in my chamber will be
Come to be my slave
Or into hell I'll throw you
[Mr. Faceless]
Look into my eyes,
The eyes of skill and truth
Listen to what I say little beginner
You cannot find your life,
My jungle will pick you up
Too much for you,
You're my prey
[Stell Lord]
The underworld has blown
Your lands we will trespass
You cannot hide us for so long
The men without their freedom
Mr. Faceless you can bet on that
These men are now already dead
[Narrator]
And he says...
The burning cold silence
Is wasting away the souls
Dead dreams awake
Inside the men in chains
Mr. Faceless says "guilty",
For the crime of try
He's waiting for your decision
To give up and say goodbye
[Verse 2 (Mr. Faceless)]
Wars, I'm the war bringer of all
My media tells why die for:
Mind slaving all
How... how can you start a breakout?
If I will make all believe
God is by my side
[Bridge 2 (Mr. Faceless)]
I tell to whom you'll pray
My laws you will obey
Do not go further
[Chorus (Mr. Faceless)]

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Mr. Faceless.
This song shows us the motives of The Faceless in Charge. How he thinks, why he's doing this, everything. Your basic villian monolouge.
