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.
Some girls can do anything
Whole world hanging on a string
She is flawless a virgin saint
(Like a virgin)
Some girls got an attitude
Fake tits and a nasty mood
Hot shit when she's in the loop
Some girls gotta fake it through
One drink and it's all a blur
Cash now if you wanna flirt
(Takes your credit but it's gonna hurt)
Some girls goin' off the deep end
Some girls livin' for the weekend
Some girls like to get their freak on
(Gettin' freaky, gettin' freaky)
Some girls make a scene
Shoot their mouth and talk obscene
Cryin' in a limousine
(Cryin' in a limousine)
Some girls make you feel like a rocket hard as steel
Some girls only ever like to tease
(Some girls only like to tease)
Some girls are not like me
I'm everything you ever dreamed of
I've got you beggin' baby please
I've got you beggin' baby please
Some girls wanna call the shots
Some girls wanna be on top
Gotta work till you reach the spot
Some girls got a filthy mouth
All talk and it never stops
Just take it it's not enough?
Some girls make a scene
Shoot their mouth and talk obscene
Cryin' in a limousine
(Cryin' in a limousine)
Some girls make you feel like a rocket hard as steel
Some girls only ever like to tease
(Some girls only like to tease)
Some girls are not like me
I'm everything you ever dreamed of
I've got you beggin' baby please
I've got you beggin' baby please
Wrap your arms around my neck and start this deal sometime today
If you wanna play this game with me
I am not like all the rest
Some girls are second best
Put your lovin' to the test you'll see
Some girls are not like me
I'll never wanna be like some girls
Some girls are just for free
I never wanna be like some girls
Some girls are not like me
I'm everything you ever dreamed of
I've got you beggin' baby please
I've got you beggin' baby please
Some girls are not like me
I'm better than you ever dreamed of
I've got you baby on your knees
I've got you beggin' baby please
Some girls are not like me
I never wanna be like some girls
Some girls are just for free
I never wanna be like some girls
Whole world hanging on a string
She is flawless a virgin saint
(Like a virgin)
Some girls got an attitude
Fake tits and a nasty mood
Hot shit when she's in the loop
Some girls gotta fake it through
One drink and it's all a blur
Cash now if you wanna flirt
(Takes your credit but it's gonna hurt)
Some girls goin' off the deep end
Some girls livin' for the weekend
Some girls like to get their freak on
(Gettin' freaky, gettin' freaky)
Some girls make a scene
Shoot their mouth and talk obscene
Cryin' in a limousine
(Cryin' in a limousine)
Some girls make you feel like a rocket hard as steel
Some girls only ever like to tease
(Some girls only like to tease)
Some girls are not like me
I'm everything you ever dreamed of
I've got you beggin' baby please
I've got you beggin' baby please
Some girls wanna call the shots
Some girls wanna be on top

I never wanna be like some girls

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

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.
Agreed with her writing on this one. In Some Girls, Our Madge is vindictive, angry, Wet and above all-in sad tears. Madonna is not like the rest of the pack because she has led a brilliant American Life in her Ray of Light-but make no mistake, Miss Ciccone is angry in this song and if anyone screws or fools around with her, they're in for a rude shock! We haven't heard the last of Madonna and most likely we never will!
