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 was Saturday when I got that call
Far away from feeling tall
I know, I know, I know what the truth is, yeah
I tried to look away from what you did
Heartache became my friend (oh wow wow)
You walked away from me baby
I would've never done the same
You made me feel like our love was not real
You threw it all away, so
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wake up thinkin', hopin'
You'll get it right this time
'Cause you know that you're so cold
I don't wanna see no more
And I can't get away from you
It's one of the reasons why
That I just can't get you out my mind
And all I keep seeing is your picture
But I don't wanna see no more
But I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
It was so easy to trust you baby
Guess I was so stupid baby (hey, yeah)
I didn't ever think that this would come
You're runnin' right to another one
You walked away from me baby
You threw it all away, so
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wake up thinkin', hopin'
You'll get it right this time
'Cause you know that you're so cold
I don't wanna see no more
And I can't get away from you
It's one of the reasons why
That I just can't get you out my mind
And all I keep seeing is your picture
But I don't wanna see no more
But I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I used to be afraid of letting go
The fragile part of me, I'm here right now
I need you to set me free
I can see it in your eyes
You won't blame on me this time
No, never
And I want you back but I won't look back, no
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wake up thinkin', hopin'
You'll get it right this time
'Cause you know that you're so cold
I don't wanna see no more
And I can't get away from you
It's one of the reasons why
That I just can't get you out my mind
And all I keep seeing is your picture
But I don't wanna see no more
But I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
Far away from feeling tall
I know, I know, I know what the truth is, yeah
I tried to look away from what you did
Heartache became my friend (oh wow wow)
You walked away from me baby
I would've never done the same
You made me feel like our love was not real
You threw it all away, so
I don't wanna wait for you

I don't wanna see no more

But I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more

But I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more
I don't wanna see no more

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
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."
I always wondered who the song was about.. it reminds me of a lot of things like my past.. its one of my fave songs! I luv Joe jonas! <3 huge fan!
I feel that this song is just about trying to get over a relationship where the person that you love walked away from you and decided to abruptly end things. The more I listen to it the more I am warming up to it, I can relate it regarding a lot of people :/
