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.
If we're going down
We all go down together
And that's the way it is
And I know
We'll stay like this forever
I'm standing here
I'm standing by your side
We've come so far to let this slip away
And I can't let go of what you've done
We've tried so hard, we've prayed for better days
Please don't let go, don't let this slip away
And I just want you to know
If we're going down
We all go down together
And that's the way it is
And I know
We'll stay like this forever
I'm standing here
I'm standing by your side
There's nothing left
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for you
Oh
If we're going down (if we're going down)
We all go down together
And that's the way it is
And I know
We'll stay like this forever
I'm standing here
If we're going down (if we're going down)
We all go down together
And that's the way it is
And I know (and I know)
We'll stay like this forever
I'm standing here
I'm standing by your side
We've come so far, we've tried so hard
Please don't let go, don't let this slip away
We all go down together
And that's the way it is
And I know
We'll stay like this forever
I'm standing here
I'm standing by your side
We've come so far to let this slip away
And I can't let go of what you've done
We've tried so hard, we've prayed for better days
Please don't let go, don't let this slip away
And I just want you to know
If we're going down
We all go down together
And that's the way it is
And I know
We'll stay like this forever
I'm standing here
I'm standing by your side
There's nothing left
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for you
Oh
If we're going down (if we're going down)
We all go down together
And that's the way it is
And I know
We'll stay like this forever
I'm standing here
If we're going down (if we're going down)
We all go down together
And that's the way it is
And I know (and I know)
We'll stay like this forever
I'm standing here
I'm standing by your side
We've come so far, we've tried so hard
Please don't let go, don't let this slip away

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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
