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.
Stop dragging around
I think that somebody knows
(turn it up, turn it up)
I think that somebody knows
(turn it up, turn it up)
So they can watch me explode
Another piece of me is gone again
I don't want you to go
But I already know
(turn it up, turn it up)
Yeah, I already know
(turn it up, turn it up)
It's probably better to go
And you can leave if it's easier
Lost and useless
No more bruises
I'll burn this place down
Don't make no sound
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
I won't see you a while
But I guess it depends
(turn it up, turn it up)
Well I guess it depends
(turn it up, turn it up)
And maybe if I pretend that
If it's our of sight, it's out of mind
And nobody is wrong
And nobody is right
(turn it up, turn it up)
Nobody is right
(turn it up, turn it up)
Then how come tonight
Another piece of me is gone again?
Lost and useless
No more bruises
I'll burn this place down
Don't make no sound
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
Bite down hard, bite down.
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
September won't you bring me some rain again?
I'm melting here alive
Cause I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
Bite down hard, bite down
I think that somebody knows
(turn it up, turn it up)
I think that somebody knows
(turn it up, turn it up)
So they can watch me explode
Another piece of me is gone again
I don't want you to go
But I already know
(turn it up, turn it up)
Yeah, I already know
(turn it up, turn it up)
It's probably better to go
And you can leave if it's easier
Lost and useless
No more bruises
I'll burn this place down
Don't make no sound
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
I won't see you a while
But I guess it depends
(turn it up, turn it up)
Well I guess it depends
(turn it up, turn it up)
And maybe if I pretend that
If it's our of sight, it's out of mind
And nobody is wrong
And nobody is right
(turn it up, turn it up)
Nobody is right
(turn it up, turn it up)
Then how come tonight
Another piece of me is gone again?
Lost and useless
No more bruises
I'll burn this place down
Don't make no sound
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
Bite down hard, bite down.
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
September won't you bring me some rain again?
I'm melting here alive
Cause I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
Bite down hard, bite down

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."
