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.
1, 2, 3, 4, yeah
Polow the Don, listen girl
Mario, let's go, ladies
It?s like you caught up in a maze
You keep on going in circles, girl
You're trying to find your way out
But it's time I put on my cape and
Put that S on my chest
Girl I wanna come and save you
But I'm stuck in the middle of seeing you hurt
I know when you love him and you wanna make it work
And I can't help but think that I known you first
It?s getting louder, girl, can't ignore it no more
I can hear your heart crying out for me
(Crying out for me)
I can hear your heart crying out for me
(And it keeps on saying)
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me
(And it keeps on saying)
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me
(I can baby)
I can hear your heart crying out for me
Baby, I should've never caught no feeling
But baby having late night conversions on your sofa
You telling me how he played you out
Over and over, over and over
But I'm stuck in the middle of seeing you hurt
I know when you love him and you wanna make it work
And I can't help but think that I knew you first
It?s getting louder, girl, I can't ignore it no more baby
I can hear your heart crying out for me
(Crying out for me)
I can hear your heart crying out for me
(Oh, yeah and girl, it?s saying)

(I can hear it, yeah)
Girl, it?s crying, it?s crying

But I just can't keep lying to myself

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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 is perfectly for me. Why? because a friend a very close one fell in love with me , in fact he knows my problem about my relationship now and he hears my heart crying huhuhu :(
This song to me means, about a girl who has had a bad relantionship after a bad relantionship & it juss keeps repeating. This girl though has a friend who knows her inside & out, and her friend is in love with her. But shes too blind to see it, & he is to shy to admit it. But he sees her pain and wishes he can be the one to help her. All she needs to do is learn to trust him. Kinda sounds like my life story. Or at least where im at right now
