its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Carry out the sound
Past our eyes horizon
I\'\'m standing still, I\'\'m standing still
Waiting for this all to change
Now my hands are up.
I\'\'m walking out, I\'\'m walking out
What do you expect of me?
Did you think that this was all an excuse for
Hospitality
I know you think its all because of me
At first glance, I\'\'ll breathe in
Leaving myself no room to move, at all
My mind is so flooded and I\'\'m drunk with regret
Swimming in a sea of hope tonight
I find your hand and trace it with mine
As we push away with everything we have
With everything we have left
Oh you\'\'re acting on my words
We can start the fire, that will light up the night
No I wouldn\'\'t be too sure of you at all
We\'\'ll watch it burn together on respective sides
(yeah)
We look so good, as we fall
I\'\'ll go ahead and re-elect perfection
Its never looked as good as it does on you right now
I\'\'ll go ahead and make an incision
Doubt you\'\'ll feel anything at all
A fake, a fraud, forked tongue and I am nervous
At least I can say I made it out this time
I am just fine where you have left me
As for you be sure to cover up your mouth
I don\'\'t know how to say this
My thoughts have just run out
Past our eyes horizon
I\'\'m standing still, I\'\'m standing still
Waiting for this all to change
Now my hands are up.
I\'\'m walking out, I\'\'m walking out
What do you expect of me?
Did you think that this was all an excuse for
Hospitality
I know you think its all because of me
At first glance, I\'\'ll breathe in
Leaving myself no room to move, at all
My mind is so flooded and I\'\'m drunk with regret
Swimming in a sea of hope tonight
I find your hand and trace it with mine
As we push away with everything we have
With everything we have left
Oh you\'\'re acting on my words
We can start the fire, that will light up the night
No I wouldn\'\'t be too sure of you at all
We\'\'ll watch it burn together on respective sides
(yeah)
We look so good, as we fall
I\'\'ll go ahead and re-elect perfection
Its never looked as good as it does on you right now
I\'\'ll go ahead and make an incision
Doubt you\'\'ll feel anything at all
A fake, a fraud, forked tongue and I am nervous
At least I can say I made it out this time
I am just fine where you have left me
As for you be sure to cover up your mouth
I don\'\'t know how to say this
My thoughts have just run out

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."
thats disgusting
