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.
I keep on counting up the blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
I just keep counting up all these blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
I keep on counting up the blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
I just keep counting up all these blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
Woo
Woo
Woo
Hallelujah
Feel much cooler
Life is bright
I’m standing in allure
Shine so bright
I’m standing with a ruler
Flow so cold
I hide yo jeweler
Hitting my target like sharpshooter
Aiming at my goals gotta be sharpshooter
Flow so sick
Then it gotta be a cure
Life is journey should’ve read the brochure
Anything goes when you’re a real opportuner
Opportunity couldn’t come much sooner
Like a movie
I’m coming to you soon
I’m coming to you sooner
Everyone around me isn’t an enthuser
Not even mad at my accuser
I’m winning
So somebody gotta be a loser
Don’t be mad
Cuz I succeed and I’m a doer
Keep it so real
That I couldn’t even fool ya
Only speaking facts
Couldn’t be any truer
Say it’s yo time
Then you better be sure
Don’t matter the time
I was always sure
Nana told me I was peculiar
Shine so bright
Standing with a ruler
Life is bright
Standing in allure
Life been so good
I gotta say Hallelujah
I feel love and not pain
I can’t complain
I feel love and not pain
I can’t complain
Ooohhh
Hallelujah
I feel love and not pain
I can’t complain
I feel love and not pain
I can’t complain
Ooohhh
Hallelujah
I keep on counting up the blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
I just keep counting up all these blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
I keep on counting up the blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
I just keep counting up all these blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
Woo
Woo
Woo
Hallelujah
Feel much cooler
There’s a lot coming
I want a lot more
Not for myself
For everybody storage
A lot on my mind
Just can’t ignore
Got the sauce
But where do I pour
Like where do I pour
Tryna bless yo whole life
Bless yo while life
Do I really float or levitate
Tryna show you a new side
Bet you ain’t never been this way
Lot on my mind
Let it marinate
Dripping sauce like it’s marinade
Used to block people out
Used to block ‘em out like a barricade
Got love in my heart like a deep blade
Nowadays things are just too deep aye
On to better things
Go and let it bling
Pull out the water watch it freeze
Humility keep you on your knees
Thankful for all the treasuries
You ain’t really cold
If yo wrist don’t freeze
You ain’t woke up if you don’t feel morning breeze
But it’s coo
They can keep sleeping on me
That’s why this going hard on repeat
Face no defeat
You know I made the beat
Calculated risks
You know I don’t cheat
You know it ain’t sweet
They never want beef
They always wanna meet
Lessons to learn
That can’t be teached
Reaching goals
Couldn’t be reached
Find that path
Rise in that niche
Gotta thank the Lord
For everything
If it bling
If it make you sing
Appreciate things
Some really nice things
Some meaningful things
I mean anything
That joy that he brings
Not saying things
Just saying your needs
Remember these things
There’s more to life than a bling
All you hear is Cha-Ching
Woke up but I’m still living the dream
Reality
Feel like a king
Anything is possible if you believe
There’s a lotta things
Watch me achieve
Watch me on tv, you can see
If you can’t
Just listen
It’s a rendition
I’m the new edition
Cutting in the kitchen
Sharper than anything you find in yo kitchen
Or did I mention
Counting it swiftly
Got so many blessings on the way
Know I’m gifted
Can not miss hits
Coming with the heat like triple digits
Know y’all feel it
Woo
Hallelujah
I just keep counting up all these blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
I keep on counting up the blessings
Woo
Hallelujah
I just keep counting up all these blessings
Woo
Hallelujah

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 by far the best Love & Reverie song.
