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.
So I'm thinking we should maybe
Just run away from here
With no plan of coming back.
We can stay away forever
Our anguished love will be all we have and
I will save your life
Its happening again,
Its happening again
I won't watch you die
Its happening again,
Its happening again
I can see its not the first time
You have come and taken her from me
Rest assured it's not the last time,
I'm going to set you free.
You took her once
Shame on you
Oh
You took her twice
Shame on me
Whisper softly
And tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Please forgive me
And know that I am sorry
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory.
(save you)
I'm falling apart
Do you realize its over
There's no chance of leaving here alive
You don't realize what you're saying,
Without me you can't survive.
You took her once
Shame on you
Oh
You took her twice
Shame on me
Whisper softly
And tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Please forgive me
And know that I am sorry
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory,
(save you)
Ive lost it all
I'm falling apart
You've ripped out my heart.
(I'm falling apart)
I don't know where to start
I don't want to go
Its happening again,
Its happening again
But I cant let it show
Ill be with her again,
Together to the end
If I have to go
Its happening again,
Its happening again
Ill be damned if I'm alone
Ill be with her again
Together til the end.
Whisper softly
And tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Please forgive me
And know that I am sorry
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory,
(save you)
I'm falling apart
I've lost it all
Just run away from here
With no plan of coming back.
We can stay away forever
Our anguished love will be all we have and
I will save your life
Its happening again,
Its happening again
I won't watch you die
Its happening again,
Its happening again
I can see its not the first time
You have come and taken her from me
Rest assured it's not the last time,
I'm going to set you free.
You took her once
Shame on you
Oh
You took her twice
Shame on me
Whisper softly
And tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Please forgive me
And know that I am sorry
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory.
(save you)
I'm falling apart
Do you realize its over
There's no chance of leaving here alive
You don't realize what you're saying,
Without me you can't survive.
You took her once
Shame on you
Oh
You took her twice
Shame on me
Whisper softly
And tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Please forgive me
And know that I am sorry
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory,
(save you)
Ive lost it all
I'm falling apart
You've ripped out my heart.
(I'm falling apart)
I don't know where to start
I don't want to go
Its happening again,
Its happening again
But I cant let it show
Ill be with her again,
Together to the end
If I have to go
Its happening again,
Its happening again
Ill be damned if I'm alone
Ill be with her again
Together til the end.
Whisper softly
And tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Please forgive me
And know that I am sorry
I'm losing you,
I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory,
(save you)
I'm falling apart
I've lost it all

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.
Holiday

Bee Gees
@[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."

""The Artist finds his feet and trudges back out into the sunlit town. He rounds the corner and once again sees Annabel in the reflection of a window. However, this time she does not look angry or sad. She doesn't appear to him as the tortured and pained image he saw in the bar, but rather as the woman he had fallen so in love with during the past seven years. Suddenly, the Thespian appears in the reflection, standing behind Annabel with a knife to her throat. Fear engulfs her entire body as the Thespian slits her throat from ear to ear. The horrific image alerts the Artist of two things equally disturbing and harsh: the memory of Annabel is slowly disappearing from his mind and he must find and kill the man who has taken her from him." -Alesana
where did you get that statement from alesana about the song? i wanna read all of them
altpress.com/features/entry/track-by-track_alesana/<br /> Here You Go :)
"without me you can't survive". Is he talking to the evil part in him? Telling himself he cant go on, if he doesn't? He can't take her? Like he killed her? Im lost on this, who else would be taking her from him..
Actually... it's inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee". "In Her Tomb By The Surrounding Sea" Is even a line from the poem. I suggest you look it up :] beautiful poem, and it is perfectly parallel to the song. Especially if you know of Poe's tragic life.
Mono is right, it was INSPIRED by the poem, but it is not about the poem. Alesana wrote their story and gave credit to the poem, but the poem really doesn't have much to do with the story except for that part. ~Tessa
