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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Majority of the words in these lyrics are wrong.
Corrected version:
Dragging our ship down, gone with the pipe this is their town and their dream I miss ya so, coz ya so loud i'm so dirty how am I so let down my violence it make me feel
アンタ誰？ 誰？() 誰？ 誰？() 何時間 其の顔 微塵 感じる外傷を顔面に発砲
missed her faint lie(unintelligible) (Unintelligible) affectionate light i can't tell man always so drunk and The future's a...a vision now left I foresee all of me
アンタ誰？ 誰？() 誰？ 誰？() 何時間 其の顔 微塵 感じる外傷を顔面に発砲 何時間 其の顔 微塵 感じる外傷を顔面にsheol
mo' sheol
i (unintelligible) i can't see i found a master four nine i can't lie I don't feel right i can't fight anymore...
アンタ誰？ 誰？() 誰？ 誰？() 何時間 其の顔 微塵 感じる外傷を顔面に発砲
The song is about the act of genocide or violent oppression of another nation. But tells it through the metaphor of an abusive boyfriend/spouse(the aggressive nation) dealing with the guilt of killing his partner(the victimized nation) via gunshot, and is now trapped in Sheol experiencing his own personal hell. Just like nations who were responsible for atrocious acts on others, have to own up to what they did.
Seeing as this song came out a couple of years after the start of the Iraq war, and many artists and musicians from other countries were making art and music that protested against the American government, my guess is that this was directed towards the US govt.
Firstly, you didn't need to correct the lyrics, these lyrics are official, these lyrics were on their official website years ago<br /> <br /> Secondly, What a great interpretation! I loved it
@KingVyrss<br /> These lyrics most certainly were not on the official website years ago, this is a mistranslation that a lot of people have been spreading around since 2011. Some of the words that Akira sings in both english and in japanese in many of the band's songs aren't even intelligible due to his unique vocal style. So listeners just made up those parts on their own. Jistu's translation is mostly correct actually.<br /> <br /> "I found a master four nine" should actually be "I found a master for life"<br /> <br /> As mentioned before Akira's vocal style can be unintelligible because he tends to slur his words, whether singing in english or japanese. That's not a bad thing either, it adds to the atmosphere in a lot the band's music.<br /> <br /> The japanese parts translate to <br /> <br /> How long have I been here?<br /> And who the f**k are you? (x2)<br /> <br /> Your faces I can't escape<br /> With holes where my bullets filled (x2)<br /> <br /> And Jistu is also correct in the interpretation. This song released back in 2006, during the time many countries around the world were protesting the USA's invasion of Iraq. This included Japan. Hayao Miyazaki was openly protesting by refusing to make appearances in the US, Japanese game developers were protesting in their own ways. Ikd-sj was very likely protesting with this song.
