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 realize this is one man's sin but I can't deny that you're pulling me in.
You found a way to get inside my head.
And, yes, I'm gonna know better than to sleep with you but at the same time I got this need to feel you.
Let me put my hands all over you.
I feel I'm falling in.
And if I threw you off I didn't intent to.
I'm just wondering do you feel me, too. and you've no idea what I'd do to you.
Do you? Do you? Well, I do.
Come lie with me and then let me touch you for hours on and steal a little piece of happiness.
And, yes, I ought to know better and I thought it through but I can't shake the need to please you.
Tell me what you need I'll give it to you.
I feel I'm falling in. And if I threw you off I didn't intend to.
I just want to know do you feel it, too.
Do you want to know what I'd do to you? Do you? do you? Well, sure you do.
And if I threw you off I didn't intend to. I'm just wondering do you feel me, too.
And you've no idea what I'd do to do to you? Do you? Do you?
Didn't mean to offend you I'm just wondering do you feel it, too.
I want to know do you want me, too. now do you ? Do you? Well, maybe you do.
You found a way to get inside my head.
And, yes, I'm gonna know better than to sleep with you but at the same time I got this need to feel you.
Let me put my hands all over you.
I feel I'm falling in.
And if I threw you off I didn't intent to.
I'm just wondering do you feel me, too. and you've no idea what I'd do to you.
Do you? Do you? Well, I do.
Come lie with me and then let me touch you for hours on and steal a little piece of happiness.
And, yes, I ought to know better and I thought it through but I can't shake the need to please you.
Tell me what you need I'll give it to you.
I feel I'm falling in. And if I threw you off I didn't intend to.

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
When you do something, even though you know it's wrong and will be a mistake, but you do it anyway. Self destruction in a way.
Haven't we all felt this way about someone at some point in our lives? Being absolutely, irresistably attracted to someone we know damn well is bad for us and will hurt us. And of course, it ends exactly the way you knew it would end, but just because you saw the load of bricks coming doesn't make it hurt any less when it hits you.
It's definately happened to me. It was easy to write her off as someone I'm better off without anyway. It's a lot harder to forgive myself for being stupid enough to sleep with her.
