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.
I'm takin' it back, come follow me
On a journey to see a for real MC
The mind tricks the body
Body thinks the mind is crazy
But never sleazy
When I get the flow, I'm Swayze
I break, you take
Whatever type of shit the nigga Buckshot makes
The incredible, lyrical, and original
You can kill it, bull, if you wanna take a pull
Whatever I see I attack ('tack)
Fuck off my back, black, nigga, fuck that
The devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell
Look into the eyes of a nigga who fell
I hit my head on the concrete to beat the feet
Another dead nigga in the street
Bullseye, direct hit, don't miss
But how Many MC's must get dissed?
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
I can break it down like whatever you want
You want it like this
I hit, ya miss, but you get dissed when I'm pissed
Mister Buckshot rock it not quick
Bitch, get off my dick
I rope 'em up and boot 'em up, then I shoot 'em up
Whatever
I'm clever because I wear my leather in the winter
I enter da stage, nigga cock ya gauge
I bust 'em off somethin' awful
And then I leave the stage
I'm just a crazy maniac murder, a murder type thinkin'
Ya shittin', ya ass thinkin', I see ya blinkin'
I wet 'em then forget 'em, never should've met 'em
But he was talkin' shit to my man
So I had to get 'em
Yep, you can get the fist
Whatever
But how Many MC's must get dissed?
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
I got a nigga on scope through the eye of a needle
But I had the nigga the nigga puckin' on my desert eagle
Pain as a niggas brain, I'm goin' insane
Pound after pound, I come stomp on ya brain
Pick up the pump, better be jetty wit' the loot
Don't try to walk wit' a switch, bitch, like you cute
You just gettin' me sick, my dick and ride on the regular
Pen predator, et cetera, yeah, right
So fuck what you heard it's about gettin' blipped
In 1993 motherfuckers get dissed
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"
"How many MC's must get dissed?"

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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."

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
