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.
Mellow out
Bitch
Hell no
I thought I knew ya
Took the time to put my love into ya
Screw ya
'Cause now you got me sittin' in the sewer
I'm through with all them roller coaster rides
See, I ain't forgot about the knots
That you been tyin' with my insides
I dropped my pride
Without you, I was sure to die
I tried with cash
And all I could, to make it last
Now I accept that was in the past
I know you love me
Love me like a piece of trash
But at first, you were so sweet
Couldn't go without seein' your face for an hour
So sour
It all became a hassle
You were even livin' in my castle
Just to use me
And verbally abuse me
That's not the way I'm runnin' my shop
It took a while to see the light before I stopped
And you got dropped off
It's over, probably I'll be sweatin' it
But in the long run, you'll be the one regrettin' it
Maybe you won't, maybe you will
But baby, you're still about as real as a three dollar bill
There's no one to blame but you
And who gets the blame? Me
No one to blame but you (no one to blame)
Oh, oh, I sound like a bitch (a little bitch in heat)
With all that anger that I'm feelin'
Bitch I think it's heat
Another split tail
Just another split tail
Thanks for the lesson
Now get your shit and hit the trail
We know I'm comin' from that old school
You damn fool
Intensity is somethin' that I'm made of
And certainly, I'm not afraid of
A little smack in my face
Thanks for that taste
There's no one to blame but you
And who gets the blame? Me
No one to blame but you
And who gets the blame? Me
There's no one to blame
Me
Ah
Whatever
I think that, uh
I'd like to, uh
Turn myself around
And turn it over to the

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
this song is about when him and his girlfreind were living together,and he was supporting her. They would get into arguments,and she would say everything she could to hurt him. One day he just told her to get her bags and hit the road.
well i dnont want to tell about the song i jsut wnat to say that its my fav limp video ever.......
i think that fred is makeing a song called sour because corey taylors band stone sour i guess fred figures if he does something like corey he might sell some fuckin records
Well, actually, retard...this song came out first, back in '97. Ya think maybe the title could have something to do with the fact that he says SOUR in the song? How bout you not come to bash bands that you know nothing about to fill the void in your pathetic life. And I'm fairly certain that, regardless of the hatred for Fred, Limp Bizkit has sold a lot more records than Stone Sour or Slipknot. Not bashing, I love all 3 bands...I'm just proving what a fucking idiot you are.
On a more calm note...I love this song. It's the first one I heard by them back in the day, and I've been hooked since. Chocolate Starfish is the ONLY bad Limp Bizkit album, like it or not. Any REAL musician (escpecially a drummer) can tell you that this is an extremely talented band...they just made one bad choice...and that was releasing that pile of shit 3rd album.
This is one of my favorite limp bizkit songs....it's a pretty cool hip/hop song with cool guitar sounds. It's about Fred Durst's girlfriend being an asshole and Fred telling her to "pack her shit and hit the trail.
hahahahah fucking dumbass
sour from 3db in 97
STUCK you dont even know
who went 5x platinum in 2000?
That's cos they went fuckin pop, and started appearing on fuckin shitv (mtv) and plus look at them, just listen to their shitty music, and eveyrone hates them now, they are horrible, crappy pop shit, who gives a fuck about how many cds theyve fuckin sold? That doesn't mean a thing, Stone Sour and Slipknot woukd not appear on some shit tv show like mtv, shut the fuck, oh yeah, they also sold more than shitswitch engage
Anti-Punk has just proved that he is a complete dumbass. Have you ever heard of "Unquestionable Truth Part 1? no you have not. Do you no what band it is from?no you have no idea. Well I'll tell you, it is Limp Bizkit album make in 2005. (they have not even released a single from that album).
anti-punk besides being a complete fuktard you have also proved yourself a sheep. It has now become cool to hate Limp and you are just following the crowd just like them. So stop complaining about Limp Bizkit when you don't know a second thing about music genre's and Limp.
