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.
In the end you will be laid to rest where you belong.
bathed in the flames for your hatred and your ignorance. Your the symbol of masculinity, but I can beat king kong.
I will stand up for those who suffer [x6]
I will stand up for those who have suffered, been crucified by your insecurities [x2]
You cant say what love is...when your castrated....FUCKERS!!
Hatchets castrating the fuckers! [x8]
The voice that I've been given I will use to crush bigotry and defeat intolerance. With bodies ablaze (mother fucker) Sadly no one's there to push you in the flames. So throw another stick in, and I swear with every ounce on strength I have......I WILL BURN YOU ALL ALIVE!!!! In the sticks lay your worthless bodies, screaming, keep fucking screaming.
and with your eyeballs boiling! [x3]
WHO'S THE FUCKING FAGGOT NOW??!! [x5]
bathed in the flames for your hatred and your ignorance. Your the symbol of masculinity, but I can beat king kong.

Mountain Song

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
pretty straightfoward, it's against all of the people who discriminate against homosexuals. amazing song, and amazing lyrics.
This is an anti-homophobic song. & I love it when he growls "WHO'S THE FUCKING FAGGOT NOW?"
On their myspace page, Zak has put this on the lyrics:
"(I changed the lyrics up a little bit to make it completely clear that this song is and has always been an anti-homophobic song. If you're butthurt the lyrics are different I simply don't give a fuck! -Zak)"
oh yeah, and the part "I will stand up for those who have suffered been crucified by your insecurities", i'm pretty sure that refers to the homosexual kid that a bunch of punks crucified and killed.
I don't think he meant it that way, I think those crucified part was a metaphor or imagery for a kid who was gay bashed by faggots and beat the shit out of him. Honestly i dont like homosexuals i don't mind them but people who would go out and beat the crap outa someone for who they are, like being a homo, or even homeless people that are beat up is just so stupid. this song is over played by scene kids and most of the probally don't even know the meaning of it. Most of them go "Oh elysia is brutal dude, whos the fucking faggot now bitch" When in truth they are the fucking faggots lol. anyways great lyrics and meaning and ok song
I agree with Krob189 altogether. I do agree that it isn't about anyone actually being killed, its probably just a metaphor of them being harassed and assaulted. And I agree too that I don't really like homosexuals and based on my religion don't agree with it, but I like the point of this song because seriously going out of your way to attack and brutalize another human being, regardless of sexual orientation or anything else is just stupid.<br /> <br /> Last thing I gotta say is that this song is epic.
call it a terrible song all you want, the breakdowns are amazing, the message is wonderful, and their live performance is outrageous...especially during the "who's the fuckin' fagggot now?" part.
truly insane
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Heres a few corrections....the lyrics are actually up on their page at myspace.com/elysia
(Forty thousand people die everyday.......)
