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.
The bob marley gets ya super duper high
The bob marley gets ya super duper high
To the east west north and south
We keep em keep em keep em coming around to the kottonmouth nation
Pass it around pass it around
I puff and budge you know I'm all about it I got the reggae rock
And smoking up my whole challece
My eyes is red d-loc can never get enough
Sometimes I sit and think of how much weed I really puff
You know its good I'm sittin back solin now I'm blowin dank
Chronic smell kottonin up my mouth now show me somethin
I haven't seen before its like givin candy to my kid
Up in the candy store my eyes is red the color
Of a coke can boulders got me trippin wishin thinkin
I'm at disney land the purple haze the old g kush butch
Train wreck g see skunk wanted dump truck the kottonmouth got
My tongue ridin now so let me take another hit and
Let me blow another cloud now
The kottonmouth got my tongue ridin so let me roll another blunt
Fill it up and pass it all around
to the east west north and south
We keep em keep em keep em coming around
To the kottonmouth nation, pass it around
Pass it around the bob marley gets ya super duper high
To the east west north and south
We keep em keep em keep em coming around to the kottonmouth nation (yeah!)
Pass it around pass it around the bob marley gets ya super duper high
pass it around then goodbye in the killa herb reunited the tribe so
Go and spread the word its goin down man, and I can feel it comin
The winds are blowin chane so let me tell ya somethin
There are some laws, spiritual and natural, and nature never lies
That's pure and factual, the propaganda man its in the devils hands
Watch him demonize, gods perfect plans. we've been brainwashed
Got here to believe that the ganja plant is some kinda of evil seed
Are you kidding me. that's insanity its a plant that could unify humanity
So mr. officer, stop harassing me. and puttin all my brothers in the
Penitentiary. I wanna live in peace you wanna fight war I wanna sing my song
You're beatin down my door
to the east west north and south
We keep em keep em keep em coming around to the kottonmouth nation
Pass it around pass it around the bob marley gets ya super duper high

Its johnny richter and lets do some blazing I'm so lifted off that chronic hash bat
Big fattys are my favorite rolled up in clear wraps now break out your smelly poose
And get ready to do work we're gonna smoke and smoke and smoke until our lungs hurt
Ask if I'm high and my answers always yes sir! cannabis cup 06' was a big blur
But so were 99' and 2000. hotbox the boats shit we hotbox the housin'
Hotbox the car but didn't hotbox the plane big d-ro weed couldn't so we were a okay.
This stories told as this story goes state to state in the haze blaze at every show
Even over seas we be burnin em' down as for these kmks we keep on passing around

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.
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.
