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.
Why you gotta act this way babe
When you know my lovin' don't change?
Why you gotta make it all so hard? It's so simple
Long as there is breakfast in de morning
Good lovin' whenever you want it
You should know exactly how I feel
All I'm saying is:
I could try to find another guy
That would only be a waste of time
Nobody else can lay it down like you do
Hey, all my love is for ya
Every time I lay my eyes upon ya
I wanna do ya good
Round and round and round and round, boy you don't stop
Oh baby I'm candy store
One for your all night longing
You got me baby
You go round and round and round
And round and round again
I know I've been gone a while but
All I do is think of your touch
Sometimes I even have to touch myself
It's that serious
And there you go, starting a fight
And I just wanna see you tonight
Let me show you just how I feel
All I'm saying:
I could try to find another guy
That would only be a waste of time
Nobody else can lay it down like you do (You do, you do)
Hey, hey, hey (Hey, all my love is for ya)
All my love is for ya
Every time I lay my eyes upon ya (Yeah)
I wanna do ya good
Round and round and round and round
You do, boy you don't stop
Oh baby I'm candy store (Candy store),
One for your all night longing (All night longing),
You got me baby (You got me)
You go round and round and round (You got me)
And round and round again
We're so good for one and other, baby can't you see?
Mama's down a ride (If it down a ride)
Won't you role with me? (Won't you come and role with me?)
True love ain't complicated, it's like your ABCs
Baby, you've got me, you've got me
(A), all my love is for ya
(E) Every time I lay my eyes upon ya, (I) I wanna do ya good
Round and round and round and round, boy you don't stop
(O) Oh baby I'm candy store,
(you) One for your all night longing (Sometimes why?)
You got me baby (You got me baby)
You go round and round and round (Why you got to make it so hard?)
And round and round again
Hey, all my love is for ya (It's so simple)
Every time I lay my eyes upon ya (It's like your abc's),
I wanna do ya (It's like your one two threes)
You go round and round and round and round,
Boy you don't stop (Hey, don't stop)
Oh baby I'm candy store (Hey, don't stop),
One for your all night longing, you got me baby (You got me baby)
You go round and round and round
And round and round again (Baby I love you)
You go round and round and round
And round and round again (Baby I love you)
(Yeah, you go round and round and up and down)
When you know my lovin' don't change?
Why you gotta make it all so hard? It's so simple
Long as there is breakfast in de morning
Good lovin' whenever you want it
You should know exactly how I feel
All I'm saying is:
I could try to find another guy
That would only be a waste of time
Nobody else can lay it down like you do
Hey, all my love is for ya
Every time I lay my eyes upon ya
I wanna do ya good
Round and round and round and round, boy you don't stop

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.
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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
