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.
Kill your enemies
My brothers dead around me
Wounds are hurting
Death is creeping for me
Smoke is blinding
Hearts are pounding
Chaos soon ignites
The call is made
Its one for all
Will I meet thy maker
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
The only way out is to die
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
Fuck this battlefield
The bullets shatter round me
Bodies falling
Voices calling for me
Limbs are flying
Men are crying
Such a hurtful sight
The call is made
It's one for all
Take no prisoners
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
The only way out is to die
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
Scream!
Aim!
Fire!
Scream!
Aim!
Fire!
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
The only way out is to die
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
Scream!
Aim!
Fire!
My brothers dead around me
Wounds are hurting
Death is creeping for me
Smoke is blinding
Hearts are pounding
Chaos soon ignites
The call is made
Its one for all
Will I meet thy maker
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
The only way out is to die
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
Fuck this battlefield
The bullets shatter round me
Bodies falling
Voices calling for me
Limbs are flying
Men are crying
Such a hurtful sight
The call is made
It's one for all
Take no prisoners
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
The only way out is to die
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
Scream!
Aim!
Fire!
Scream!
Aim!
Fire!
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
Over the top over the top
Right now it's killing time
The only way out is to die
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
God has spoken through his conscience
As I scream aim and fire
The death toll grows higher
Scream!
Aim!
Fire!

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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."
