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 got myself to blame for this
Got myself to blame for
My difficult days and my difficult ways
But you, you know how to let things slide
I'm perfect in your eyes
You don't see all the damage in me
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
Likes me when I'm low and still tolerates me when I'm high
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
No, nothing's ever what it seems
But you always seem to be
Who you are even when it gets hard
And you let me kick you to the floor
And you still come back for more
You're too good what did I do to deserve you?
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
Likes me when I'm low and still tolerates me when I'm high
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
I told you I'd never love you
You said it would be okay
You had enough love for us anyway
I told you I'd never need you
But you only proved me wrong again
I pray to God that never ends
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
Likes me when I'm low and still tolerates me when I'm high
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and again, and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
You know me so well
You can't even tell
That you're like no on else
That you're like no on else
Got myself to blame for
My difficult days and my difficult ways
But you, you know how to let things slide
I'm perfect in your eyes
You don't see all the damage in me
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
Likes me when I'm low and still tolerates me when I'm high
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
No, nothing's ever what it seems
But you always seem to be
Who you are even when it gets hard
And you let me kick you to the floor
And you still come back for more
You're too good what did I do to deserve you?
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
Likes me when I'm low and still tolerates me when I'm high
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
I told you I'd never love you
You said it would be okay
You had enough love for us anyway
I told you I'd never need you
But you only proved me wrong again
I pray to God that never ends
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
Likes me when I'm low and still tolerates me when I'm high
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and again, and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
You know me so well
You can't even tell
That you're like no on else
That you're like no on else

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
I completely agree with hpman247. I think it's about someone who really likes Allison and at first she doesn't realize what he truly means to her...but obviously, through the song she does. It could be a guy best friend or a guy that likes her.
It's a hopeful love song. In the beginning, Allison acknowledges that she's not perfect and she has hard times..and that the guy is there through it all and thinks the highest of her. She later on goes to say that he's always been there through thick and thin and that there's "simply no one else in the world she could ever find" like him. Allison sings about how even though she doesn't treats him as well as he deserves, he still "comes back for more". Towards the end, she hopes and prays that he never goes away, despite all the wrong she's done him.
Like hpman247, I think she doesn't act on but mentally, she realizes all that he does for her and all that he puts up with. It's a really amazing, heartfelt song. Probably one of my favorites on the album :)
