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.
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to
I love your Lipsmackers and
Your lack of perfume
I hope to get you home by curfew wORD UP!
There's a special kind of girl
That goes to my shows
And I don't mean the groupie hoes
All along the front row
She's more like a wallflower
Like the one that Stryker sniped
I'm elixir when I'm with her
Cause I think I like her type
She might seem shy in person, it's no lie
She's always nervous
But the verdict is - she's worth it
She gets crap, but don't deserve it
She look like Emily Strange
Always ravin' 'bout her faves
Wanna conquer her like Kang
When you kiss like Cassie Lang
There's no way I can
Pronounce Neo Geo Evangelion
I can't refute, cause she's so cute
And so I suck my belly in
X-23 and Hellion, odd couple, to be kind
She's in my heart and in my mind
And now she's in my rhymes
She's wordy and verbose
Prolific and prone to prose
Always sick and has a cold
Stuffed nose she's gotta blow
I've got many cold remedies, many old enemies
I've got a girl that kicks their
Ass like River from Serenity!
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to
I love your Lipsmackers and
Your lack of perfume
I hope to get you home by curfew wORD UP!
Her parents are divorced
And there's often daddy issues
Try not to take advantage while I
Hand her all my tissues
She hips me to the bands she
Likes I couldn't be more clueless
Every word comes out her mouth - is
Now on my to do list she's romantic
Known to panic with anxiety attacks
Literary, it's so scary
Reading Brontës back to back
She's playing Ragnarok on
Her mother's Magnavox
She's underneath my skin like
A million nanobots
She's like Annie Potts in 'Busters
Get my freak on like I'm Egon
Say third base right to her face
And she will be like 'BE GONE' if not now
I know I can wait like Lucas and the locusts
And you know this - we'll buy glow sticks
Stay up late, perfect the slow kiss
You can't resist Chris cause
He helps you de-stress
While you play Animal Crossing
On your Nintendo DS
Baby, if we can't be a couple
Give up on getting married
I'll remember we connected
And how it happens so rarely
(I'm serious, girl)
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to
I love your Lipsmackers and
Your lack of perfume
I hope to get you home by curfew
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to
I love your Lipsmackers and
Your lack of perfume
I hope to get you home by curfew
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to

@[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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
They don't exist. Deal with it. They do CFC, but as MC Chris says, they tend to blend into the background. Or maybe they only exist in certain social circles. As far as song meaning - it sounds like this is written from a nostalgic, high school perspective - references to curfews, lipsmackers and third base all sound like the stuff of teenage geeks and not what 30something MC Chris would be dealing with nowadays. But he does start off by talking about girls at his shows, so maybe it's a combination of girls he's met since blowing up and the girls he remembers from the past. Feels very sincere.
To MsKtty89 & Vinuash on Lucas & the Locusts.. It's from the movie Lucas with Corey Haim, he's a nrrrd who can't seem to get the girl because she's content with him being her smart friend. But there's a scene where you learn that he has a love for locusts when he handles a baby locust after a group of jocks hit it with their car.. they then slap it out of his hand and kill it..
mc chris is dead is a mother fucking opera!
This is a song about girls like me, and girls I go for. The ones who collect comic books, watch Sci-fi channel, and listen to bands most people hate or haven't heard of.
I love the Kang and RO references, haha...very cute. LIPSMACKERS ARE AWESOME!
They don't exist. Deal with it.
@ unplural: You're rude, GTFO.
I'm curious if anyone can explain to me the "Lucas and the locusts" reference. That's the one thing I haven't heard before.
To MsKtty89.
The Lucas and the Locusts reference, is I believe two different things. Lucas being George Lucas waiting to make episodes 1,2,3 of Star Wars, and the Locusts, being the antagonists from the Gears of War series of video games, which waited under ground in order to ambush mankind.
they do exist. not only are they hard to find, but any girl claiming to be a nrrrd grrrl is probably just desperate for attention and pretends to be into comics etc to impress guys. the real ones are nerdy for no one but themselves and don't feel the need to brag about it. which is why they might seem to be figments of your imagination d^.^b
Nerd girls could be open about their nerdiness without it being bragging for attention. I'm nerdy. I love comics, anime, manga, and I'm the president of the video game club at my school, and I'm female. I do it for myself not to impress any guy. I'm open about it because I'm proud to be part of the nerd community, not because I want attention, and I'm sure that's the case with plenty of other female nerds. On that note, I usually like MC Lars and MC Frontalot more than MC Chris but this song is great!
