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.
Saggi Moon, Pisce Ven'
mmh, Capri Sun
Each year I'm like "Oh, I'm gonna own my shit"
and then each year I'm still so shy and so quiet (aww)
No, but like, yeah (like, this is the year)
this is the year of greatness, bruv and being free (yeah)
I'm telling you
No, I wanna be more confident, I really do
I really do (you're just like-)
The universe, like, the universe is so powerful
You're gonna be more free, and you're gonna love more
and you're gonna have more fun (do you think so?)
And I'm tell, no, I don't think so, I know so
I wish I had help from a deeper force
Some kind of meta angel
Then they could whisper all the answers
And maybe life would just slow down
I don't think that I'll make it on my own
I've got voices in my head
Tellin' me that I won't make it far
Mirror singin' in my face
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Throw it in the fire
Ego in the fire
I've got a love for desire
I've got a pain for desire (I need a meta angel)
But when I'm winning, I'm a flier
Soprano in the choir
I've got a love for desire
It gets higher and higher (some kind of meta angel)
That makes it sounds so easy
A pretty creature with a quote
I get confused with what I really want
I've got voices in my head
Tellin' me that I won't make it far
Mother's callin' every day
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?(Where'd you go?)
Throw it in the fire
Ego in the fire
I've got a love for desire
I've got a pain for desire (I need a meta angel)
But when I'm winning, I'm a flier
Soprano in the choirs (soprano in the higher)
I've got a love for desire
It gets higher and higher (some kind of meta angel)
I've got voices in my head
I've got voices in my head

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."
