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.
First of all my numbers ain't listed so how you get my digits
You call my crib, my cell, my job, and even left a message
You out of line shorty, you bout' to piss me off
You don't even know me that way
You calling me, stalking me, emailing me, telling me my man ain't being true
Said ya had rendezvous, you have the proof
What the use of me losing my cool, losing my man
My sanity, cause you miserable
But I trust my man and I love him to
That's to much to lose if he is dissing me over you
[Chorus:]
Get over it, leave us be
What once was yours now belongs to me
We're happy , stop stressing me
He belongs to me so get over it
Get over it, leave us be
Get on with your life, stop bothering me
We're happy , stop stressing me
He belongs to me so get over it
You must think your games are gon' ruin my house
So, I don't trust my man and I'm kicking him out
You say he cares for you, and he's been there for you
Can you hear your self, you sound like a fool
If what you saying is true, why you telling me
To get under my skin, to get at me
Girl you make me say ah ah ah ah ah
Cause I'm to grown for this and I'ma tell you simple and plain
[Chorus]
Now that he's gone
You can't take it
Treated him so wrong
And you wish you had another chance
But he's my man
Stop calling me, stop stalking me
Emailing me, telling me
You get at me cause you miserable
Leave me alone, leave us alone
Stop mocking me, stop jocking me
Don't call my phone no more
Or ride past my crib no more
Don't call my job no more
I'ma call the law
Leave me alone, leave us alone
[Chorus: x2]
You call my crib, my cell, my job, and even left a message
You out of line shorty, you bout' to piss me off
You don't even know me that way
You calling me, stalking me, emailing me, telling me my man ain't being true
Said ya had rendezvous, you have the proof
What the use of me losing my cool, losing my man
My sanity, cause you miserable
But I trust my man and I love him to
That's to much to lose if he is dissing me over you
[Chorus:]
Get over it, leave us be
What once was yours now belongs to me
We're happy , stop stressing me
He belongs to me so get over it
Get over it, leave us be
Get on with your life, stop bothering me
We're happy , stop stressing me
He belongs to me so get over it
You must think your games are gon' ruin my house
So, I don't trust my man and I'm kicking him out
You say he cares for you, and he's been there for you
Can you hear your self, you sound like a fool
If what you saying is true, why you telling me
To get under my skin, to get at me
Girl you make me say ah ah ah ah ah
Cause I'm to grown for this and I'ma tell you simple and plain
[Chorus]
Now that he's gone
You can't take it
Treated him so wrong
And you wish you had another chance
But he's my man
Stop calling me, stop stalking me
Emailing me, telling me
You get at me cause you miserable
Leave me alone, leave us alone
Stop mocking me, stop jocking me
Don't call my phone no more
Or ride past my crib no more
Don't call my job no more
I'ma call the law
Leave me alone, leave us alone
[Chorus: x2]

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
