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.
no matter what has ever come to me
i got my own brand of company
i got da da da inside my head
and i play songs back to back until i got to bed
wake up by myself inside an empty room
theres no body next to mine to oooh
but my skin is warm and my heart is full
its the do do do do do do
walking waking on a crowded street
with my headphones loud
so my hips can swing, so my head can nod
to the rock and roll to the boom boom beat
& i find that im never alone
& i find that my heart is my home
& the music within makes me whole
a world that i built on my own
& i know that im never alone
& i know that my heart is my home
every missing piece of me
i can find in a melody
no matter what has ever come to me
i got my own kind of company
i got ba ba ba inside my head
and i sing songs back to back until i go to bed
theres a river in my mind thats never still
swirling , soothing all the time gives me a thrill
swimming in the notes that go
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
wandering, waking in an empty wood
it is quiet here, i am powerful
i look down below serenade the world
from inside my soul
& i find that im never alone
& i find that my heart is my home
& the music within makes me whole
a world that i built on my own
& i know that im never alone
& i know that my heart is my home
every missing piece of me
i can find in a melody
when the walls begin to creep in
and the sky is fallin down
when im swallowed up in feelings
i get lost inside the sound...
i got my own brand of company
i got da da da inside my head
and i play songs back to back until i got to bed
wake up by myself inside an empty room
theres no body next to mine to oooh
but my skin is warm and my heart is full
its the do do do do do do
walking waking on a crowded street
with my headphones loud
so my hips can swing, so my head can nod
to the rock and roll to the boom boom beat
& i find that im never alone
& i find that my heart is my home
& the music within makes me whole
a world that i built on my own
& i know that im never alone
& i know that my heart is my home
every missing piece of me
i can find in a melody
no matter what has ever come to me
i got my own kind of company
i got ba ba ba inside my head
and i sing songs back to back until i go to bed
theres a river in my mind thats never still
swirling , soothing all the time gives me a thrill
swimming in the notes that go
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
wandering, waking in an empty wood
it is quiet here, i am powerful
i look down below serenade the world
from inside my soul
& i find that im never alone
& i find that my heart is my home
& the music within makes me whole
a world that i built on my own
& i know that im never alone
& i know that my heart is my home
every missing piece of me
i can find in a melody
when the walls begin to creep in
and the sky is fallin down
when im swallowed up in feelings
i get lost inside the sound...

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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I absolutely love and entirely relate to this song by Miss Kate Earl.
I first came across her music on Pandora, and fell in love with Fate Is The Hunter.
Here is my interpretation, which anyone can easily get anyway but....:
This is a song about how much she loves music. :) It's always playing wherever she is!
<3 Music!
Thank you Kate!
