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.
It's so sad for us
When we find ourselves
Giving away
And it's a shame for us
When we find ourselves
Going to waste
So throw away the love that we made.
(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
There's no reason to be here
We should pack up and leave
I have never felt that way before totally alone
There's no reason to leave
I have never seen you act that way before
Totally exposed.
As you throw away the love that we made
(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
The longer it takes the more it goes to waste
I want to believe you but I can't feel a thing
The more that you get the less you are
And nothing's going to change that helpless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
When we find ourselves
Giving away
And it's a shame for us
When we find ourselves
Going to waste
So throw away the love that we made.
(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
There's no reason to be here
We should pack up and leave
I have never felt that way before totally alone
There's no reason to leave
I have never seen you act that way before
Totally exposed.
As you throw away the love that we made
(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
The longer it takes the more it goes to waste
I want to believe you but I can't feel a thing
The more that you get the less you are
And nothing's going to change that helpless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

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

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
this song is one that i really enjoy its one we all can relate to and face in our lives. the questions we face adn realization of those answeres. although we know no one can truly understand us and that is the loneliest thing of all.
It's so sad for us........ .......so throw away the love that we made.
(this is a talking all about life and the way things are and how we should feel about them. isnt it a shame when we fuck up in life and find ourselves sitting in our room at three in the morning with work that needs to be done. in his case hes talking about the times in his life he has felt like that. just wasting time and time we realize that ends quickly. you might as well except it, life, skool.work, love, it sucks. But Oh well thats just how it is)
i know i know and nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
(here hes talking about how in life no one can truly grasp us and who we are, how we think, how we feel. he explains how much it sucks whe we get told yeah i know how you feel or i know what you mean. when no one really can.)
There's no reason to be here.......... ......As you throw away the love that we made
(this is a case of call and response, kind of the ramblings of a crazy man, he asks the real question we all ask our selfves. why are we doing what we are doing? no one can know what they are doing is right we always second guesss if this is what we want. then he respnds with we probably wont find the answeres somewhere else its normal to feel scared and second guess life, why would you stop what your doing. then talks about a theme he loves to talk about.opeing up and being vulnerable. does it even matter)
