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.
The night comes like a dog
Licking at your paws.
The bruises from the night
That you don't want to know.
A left hook and the right
Can be stitched where no one knows.
And you just don't feel the same.
In the mirror, my you've changed.
Boy is that the man
In the gaze of what remains?
The price fight and the name.
The title and the fame.
But I'm just a rolling stone
Rolling all along.
Some seas sweet tonight.
But I see it in this night.
Cause I'm just a rolling stone
Rolling all alone.
Will I find a home, a home, tonight?
Oh.
Oh.
It's a fire pulling clash
It's a rebel pass for cash.
A criminal offense
A standard dine and dash
Electric as we break
Mulls excitement on that take.
The second we can help
That man is not for sale.
Snap back in the jar
We hear the order call.
A pecking or the law.
So human after all.
But I'm just a rolling stone
Rolling all along.
Some seas sweet tonight.
But I see it in this night.
Cause I'm just a rolling stone
Rolling all alone.
Will I find a home, a home, tonight?
Licking at your paws.
The bruises from the night
That you don't want to know.
A left hook and the right
Can be stitched where no one knows.
And you just don't feel the same.
In the mirror, my you've changed.
Boy is that the man
In the gaze of what remains?
The price fight and the name.
The title and the fame.
But I'm just a rolling stone
Rolling all along.
Some seas sweet tonight.
But I see it in this night.
Cause I'm just a rolling stone
Rolling all alone.
Will I find a home, a home, tonight?
Oh.
Oh.
It's a fire pulling clash
It's a rebel pass for cash.
A criminal offense
A standard dine and dash
Electric as we break
Mulls excitement on that take.
The second we can help
That man is not for sale.
Snap back in the jar
We hear the order call.
A pecking or the law.
So human after all.
But I'm just a rolling stone
Rolling all along.
Some seas sweet tonight.
But I see it in this night.
Cause I'm just a rolling stone
Rolling all alone.
Will I find a home, a home, tonight?

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
The night comes like a dog licking at your paws bruises from the night that you dont want to know The left hook and the right can be stitched where no one knows
And you just dont feel the same in the mirror my, you've changed a boy inside a man in the gaze of what remains: the prize fight and a name, a title and the fame
But I'm just a rolling stone rolling all alone Some see sweet tonight but I see an endless night Cause I'm just a rolling stone rolling all alone will I find a home, a home, tonight?
Its a fire, a pointed clash, it's a rebel clash for cash A criminal offence, a standard dine and dash electric as we break, mal excitement on that take
It's the seconds we can help that man who's not for sale Snap back in the jaw, we hear the order call a pecking order law, so human after all
But I'm just a rolling stone rolling all alone Some see sweet tonight but I see an endless night Cause I'm just a rolling stone rolling all alone will I find a home, a home, tonight?
