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!

Niggas' old ladies want to fuck me
You should see the shit
I'm nothin' like them other thugs
That eat it quick
Too many niggas in this club
I need a bitch
We park right up in the front
You see the six
I puff some smoke up out my blunt
And pop the Crys
I gotta find me a model
I like 'em thick
I make her hop in my Impala
Go take a trip
Clean off my shoe and pop my collar
I'm rich, bitch
Oh, what, you never seen a balla?
Well, this is it
I make that pussy feel good
Till you tell me quit
And I won't tell nobody that you let me hit
Psych!
Just hop in my ride
If you want some
We can only get high
If you want some
Gotta open them wide
If you want some
I can see in your eyes that you want some
Okay then, shawty, if you ready
Then let's go
Let's take it from the dirty to the East and West Coast
A couple shots of Patron
Let's have a sex show
I got a lot but' baby
You can be my best ho
I see you watchin' a playa
She like my dress code
Rockin' these Cartier's
Drinkin' that X-O
I know a place that we can go
And get low
You wit' a gangsta
You ain't never felt like this before
And if you know that pussy good
Then hit tha floor
Shake that ass like you should
Go get that dough
I'll make you love me if you let me
Fo' real though
See, down here we put Chevy's ridin' real slow
So come on
Just hop in my ride
If you want some
We can only get high
If you want some
Gotta open them wide
If you want some
I can see in your eyes that you want some
Don't get scared, girl

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
