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.
Yeah motherfuckers
That's what y'all want right
That ol' gangsta, that ol' gangsta
Check it out now yo, yo
All I need, bomb ass freak nigga
Hold me down nigga
Hold my heat shit
Stash a brick, blast the clip
Gangsta shit, yo
I need me a straight down girl, get down girl
One to hold me down, one I can count on
I'll even teacher how to load the glocks
Sophisticated school girl
Be on my block
Rocking this braclets, anklets the basics
Petite nice body, skin and face sick
One I could shop with
Go uptown and cop with
She not a thug girl but my down chick
She know how to roll the weed but don't smoke
She know how to cook the coke and bag dope
Screen my calls
Flip on me when im wrong
Talk shit thru the night
Throw it on me on the morning
She like it from the back
With my fingers in her hair
I love it in any position
Ma I don't care
She like when I shine up them jewels that blind her
And drive by the projects while a nigger hollar
I let her drive the V
She's my pretty young thing
I let her ride with me
She's my pretty young thing
Rap or robbery
She's my pretty young thing
She's my gangsta bitch
I let her drive the V
She's my pretty young thing
I let her ride with me
She's my pretty young thing
Rap or robbery
She's my pretty young thing
She's my down ass bitch
Yo you know how I do
Dillinger duece duece
One in the sleeve one in the construction boots
My shorty, tote two, that's what she do
One in her purse and one in her Gucci goose
I keep her Prada down
Bitches wanna hollar now
She back out the step
When yo niggers crowd around
That's my road dog
And you know I unload for her
She hold me down anytime I call for her
Like at the time when I crashed the Jag
She brought the Yukon 2000 black
Through a screen and a DVD sent me off
Twenties on the truck that'll piss you off
In return I sent her on a tour through Sacks
With a ten grand shopping spree to get back
I brought her a five that look nice when she drive
Put a glock on the dash
Watch the stash nigga
I let her drive the V
She's my pretty young thing
Let her ride with me
She's my pretty young thing
Rap or robbery
My pretty young thing
She's my gangsta bitch
I let her drive the V
My pretty young thing
Let her ride with me
She's my pretty young thing
Rap or robbery
My pretty young thing
Yeah she's my down ass bitch
Ay yo I ride for my lady
Die for my lady
Hold my 380 baby
This what the game made me
I'ma hustler, love it or not
I be thuggin, huggin the block
Glock bustin running from cops
Uh and I'm right beside ya
Pull the gat out of my Pr-ada purse
Clock 'em, clock 'em
That's gotta hurt
I'm your down bitch, your accomplice
Ride for you baby and that's a promise
I got your back nigga
I'm the one you trust to count on your stacks nigga
Cook your cracks nigga
I park the pinsky right off the pounds
Let off hollow rounds if shit goes down
I'm with the robberies, holdin' banks up
This pretty young thing gonna keep it gangsta what?
Uh-huh yeah Amil-lion wha-what?
Amil-lion, Memph man what? Uh
I let her drive the V
She's my pretty young thing
I let her ride with me
She's my pretty young thing
Rap or robbery
My pretty young thing
She's my down ass bitch
I let her drive the V
My pretty young thing
I let her ride with me
She's my pretty young thing
Rap or robbery
My pretty young thing
She's my gangsta bitch
Ride with me my pretty young thing
Let her my pretty young thing
Let her my pretty young thing
My down ass bitch
That's what y'all want right

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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

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/
