I'll be there all the way beside you in the dark
We'll watch the sunrise from the storm
And when the rain of your despair became
Too much to bear...
You left me
Please tell me

Where'd you go, where'd you go?
Where'd you put your heart this time around?
Did it go sour from sweet?
Where'd you go, where'd you go?
Where'd you put your soul that it can't be found?
I don't know where it could be
Maybe somewhere at the crossroads
Where our dreams and fears reside
Where someday we can surely find...

And as you slowly made your way across the room
You turned your back, I looked away
The cheap thrill fame instilled
Meant more than the friend you had
I don't understand

Where'd you go, where'd you go?
Where'd you put your heart this time around?
Did it go sour from sweet?
Where'd you go, where'd you go?
When did you cash your soul in for the gold?
To buy esteem, I hope it was worth it all
Worst of all
When you walked out on my trust you stole a little piece of my own
Blood and tears that I poured
Into what was once now feels in vain
I wonder, can you feel my pain?

The first times, the magic
The memories the regrets
The dreams, the hardships
That old friend back then was
The best I ever had
Now there's no turning back

And once upon a time you told me that your heart was in its place
I guess it slipped as with your pride did
How unfortunate
A story ending sorely in the sense you chose to take the easiest way out
It's over now

I'll be there all the way beside you in the dark
We'll watch the sunrise from the storm
And when the rain of your despair became
Too much to bear...
You left me
Where'd you go?...

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
