Found you there in the blink of an eye
I miss you
Turned away into a thousand dreams
Found out what they mean

Lost you there in a moment of truth
I trust you
Gave away the one and only heart
A gift to tear apart

Stain me, save me
Take me to my home
Hold me, show me
Take me to my home

Weaker now, drawing fluid from me
You kill me
I'm not afraid of what you have just done
But of what you've just become

    K, a line by line breakdown, WOO!

    "Found you there in the blink of an eye" love at first sight "I miss you" well... if you have ever been in love you would know that whenever you are not with that person you miss then terribly. "Turned away into a thousand dreams. Found out what they mean" He has been dreaming of the perfect woman, and he has turned away from many women, and looked back to his dreams, the perfect girl. He has found the girl in his dreams. "Lost you there in a moment of truth, I trust you" well, based on personal experience, I would say this line means that maybe he found out that she may be with some other guy aswell and got angry and confronted her about it. Ultimately, he decides to believe her. He "Lost her in a moment of truth" (when he confronted her) but he says he trusts her. "Gave away the one and only heart, A gift to tear apart" Probably the most self explanitory line in the song... "Stain me, Save me, Take me to my home. Hold me, Show me, Take me to my home" well... this is the "making love" part of the song. They just decide to forget about their problems and "do it" :-P. "weaker now, drawing fluid from me, you kill me" Once his boner goes away, he realizes that maybe he made a mistake in believing her (as every guy knows, once it goes away you can think more clearly :-P). "drawing fluid from me, you kill me" well... for lack of a better term, the fluid part is ejaculation... and afterwards he is emotionally drained ( and maybe physically :-P) and he is weaker now. "I'm not afraid of what you have just done, but of what you've just become" Though she has lied to him, betrayed him, and used him for sexual pleasure, he still loves her and is more concerned for her future now than what she has done to him.

    His "Weakness"es I believe are two things. One, he cares too much, (which can be concidered a weakness in a situation such as this). And Two, plain and simple, sex. I can totally relate to this song. I believe that sexual desires are a HUGE weakness, if not my worste. I wish I didnt have them, and I believe that this song-writer does aswell.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
