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, yeah
You feel the grass is always greener
And the tears I left behind
To know I can take my freedom
And my heart isn't next to line
With you the sun is always rising
When im with you it's never dark
With you the grounds are free from raining
With you my life doesn't fall apart
Yeah
I miss you more than ever
More than I can put to words
Every day is getting harder
to leave it all behind.
I am missing you, more than yesterday, I am missing you.
YEAH
We'll live a life filled with melodies
Now the stories is my defriend
When we fly free from promises
I try to smile but I cant pretend, no
I miss you more than ever
More than I can put to words
Every day is getting harder
To leave it all behind.
I am missing you, more than yesterday,
I am missing you, more than yesterday, yesterday, yesterday.
More than yesterday, yesterday, yesterday.
The sun is not getting lighter than yesterday
As I ever get further from yesterday
Can see the echo is closer, than yesterday
As I ever get further from yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
More than yesterday
I miss you more than ever
More than I can put to words
Every day is getting harder
To leave it all behind.
I am missing you, more than yesterday,
I am missing you, more than yesterday (yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday)
Yesterday.
More than yesterday (yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday), yesterday.
You feel the grass is always greener
And the tears I left behind
To know I can take my freedom
And my heart isn't next to line
With you the sun is always rising
When im with you it's never dark
With you the grounds are free from raining
With you my life doesn't fall apart
Yeah
I miss you more than ever
More than I can put to words
Every day is getting harder
to leave it all behind.
I am missing you, more than yesterday, I am missing you.
YEAH
We'll live a life filled with melodies
Now the stories is my defriend
When we fly free from promises
I try to smile but I cant pretend, no
I miss you more than ever
More than I can put to words
Every day is getting harder
To leave it all behind.
I am missing you, more than yesterday,
I am missing you, more than yesterday, yesterday, yesterday.
More than yesterday, yesterday, yesterday.
The sun is not getting lighter than yesterday
As I ever get further from yesterday
Can see the echo is closer, than yesterday
As I ever get further from yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
More than yesterday
I miss you more than ever
More than I can put to words
Every day is getting harder
To leave it all behind.
I am missing you, more than yesterday,
I am missing you, more than yesterday (yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday)
Yesterday.
More than yesterday (yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday), yesterday.

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
