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.
I'm the power, I'm the nation
Diving into degradation
Sickness of a perfect day
They'll bring you down then have your say
Educating, manipulating
The link to find is almost breaking
Come to me, become my prey
I live your life out every day
Television, your fixation
Your choices are already taken
Change your channels, change your stations
Mutating the transformation
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists chair
I'm the power, I'm the nation
Diving into degradation
Bring your mother, bring your wife
We all can live the TV life
Educating, manipulation
The negative mind is almost breaking
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists chair
Television, your fixation
Your choices are already taken
Come to me, become my prey
I live your life every day
Change your channels, change your stations
Mutating the transformation
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Diving into degradation
Sickness of a perfect day
They'll bring you down then have your say
Educating, manipulating
The link to find is almost breaking
Come to me, become my prey
I live your life out every day
Television, your fixation
Your choices are already taken
Change your channels, change your stations
Mutating the transformation
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists chair
I'm the power, I'm the nation
Diving into degradation
Bring your mother, bring your wife
We all can live the TV life
Educating, manipulation
The negative mind is almost breaking
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists chair
Television, your fixation
Your choices are already taken
Come to me, become my prey
I live your life every day
Change your channels, change your stations
Mutating the transformation
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation
Next you'll always find me in the psychiatrists
Bring me lies, violence and sex
Tweaking highest generation

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
