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.
These things will go slowly by
these things
they'll be where no one would think
and when given this life
I ought to have thank you all
who will take it away
I notice that you're fine
setting up beside whoever turns a blind eye
any solemn phase
and you belong to two times at once
my radio is my heart
we live as one
two ways at once
I know the waves i form
I know the way i wont become
These still places that are gone by
believe they're somewhere
believe they're somebody else
jumping in the mind of a passerby
and being replaced like times fly
Another wasted flaw
going up against the enless law
I'm flown through a mirror
almost disappearing
I glow faintly
you know this is nobody's life
I saw the days I lost
hiding behind tommorow's cost
Time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
these things
they'll be where no one would think
and when given this life
I ought to have thank you all
who will take it away
I notice that you're fine
setting up beside whoever turns a blind eye
any solemn phase
and you belong to two times at once
my radio is my heart
we live as one
two ways at once
I know the waves i form
I know the way i wont become
These still places that are gone by
believe they're somewhere
believe they're somebody else
jumping in the mind of a passerby
and being replaced like times fly
Another wasted flaw
going up against the enless law
I'm flown through a mirror
almost disappearing
I glow faintly
you know this is nobody's life
I saw the days I lost
hiding behind tommorow's cost
Time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back
time goin back

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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.

here are some thoughts I had about this song
( my english is not so good so please keep that in mind )
"any solomone phase and you belong at two times at once, my radio is my heart, we live as one two ways at once .. i know the ways i form, i know the way I won't become"
according to this sentence in the song: There are many ways I can form and can create, and these ways, I know if they are good or bad because my radio, the communication device which is also my heart, tells me the way I shouldnt go in, the way I wont become , I wont become something im not, departed from my heart, my radio, the thing that connects me to my way of becoming a better person a more real and honest person
It's genius.. he had put a lot of mind into the writing these lyrics no doubt about it..
