its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
There's a possibility,
There's a possibility,
All that I had, was all I'm gonn' get
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
There's a possibility,
There's a possibility,
All I'm gonn' get is gone with your stare
All I'm gonn' get is gone with your stare
So tell me when you hear my heart stop
You're the only one who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There's a possibility I wouldn't know
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Know that when you leave,
Know that when you leave,
By blood and by me, you walk like a thief,
By blood and by me, I fall when you leave
So tell me when you hear my heart stop
You're the only one who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence,
There's a possibility I wouldn't know
So tell me when my sorrows over
You're the reason why I'm closed
Tell me when you hear me falling
There's a possibility it wouldn't show
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
By blood and by me, I'll fall when you leave
By blood and by me, I'll follow your lead
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
There's a possibility,
All that I had, was all I'm gonn' get
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
There's a possibility,
There's a possibility,
All I'm gonn' get is gone with your stare
All I'm gonn' get is gone with your stare
So tell me when you hear my heart stop
You're the only one who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There's a possibility I wouldn't know
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Know that when you leave,
Know that when you leave,
By blood and by me, you walk like a thief,
By blood and by me, I fall when you leave
So tell me when you hear my heart stop
You're the only one who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence,
There's a possibility I wouldn't know
So tell me when my sorrows over
You're the reason why I'm closed
Tell me when you hear me falling
There's a possibility it wouldn't show
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
By blood and by me, I'll fall when you leave
By blood and by me, I'll follow your lead
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Techno Ted

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.
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."
Sure, this is a touching song to describe Edward and Bella. I think it more describes an old couple. The wife is on her death bed breathing her last sighs of life. Her husband is sitting next to her and she's telling him to tell her when her heart stops, because it will always belong to him. She is saying that he's the reason why she's close to death because he's the only reason she survived. At the beginning the possibity is that all she has is all there is. She is thinking all she is going to get is gone with her lover's stare, and that's enough for her.
That makes sense... mentioning "falling" like people say death is like falling down a tunnel... "when my sigh is over" = last breath<br /> Christ ive started crying...
