I had this dream again Ann shot me....
Per second second faster from the winner's line
And the lord pulled up yea-high
We drove on
Throw coal to fire try to make Short Hills
Lordy gathered kills - two from France and one from Avalon
Kill's kitchen lazy-Susan spinning down
A sure sign he's left town
Kill can't hide
Not for long
God's button-down silk-blended shirt by Ralph Rauren ($65)
Pants by House of Men ($95)
Hair by Xi of Fort Lee
He had a ___ ___ and the slickest DA cut
A dueling scar of what
It's so him
Soooo A.D.
I gave as sexy as I got
In every vacant lot
The lord taught me a lot
SBS
CCD
8-track of crimson & clover
Drove playing it over and over
Shot rock-splitter to god: carry me home
We picked up Hope who fell down faith and pulled up stakes
Staking odds on bigger breaks
Bottle spins (kiss)
Win I spy
I spy sex becomes our crappy sad reward
For another day endured
Leg on dash
Hand on thigh
She said, 'you're on my hair!
You're on my hair! Press hard I'm almost there. Driver, yes! Spill the wine!'
Homecomings all reveal
Shortcomings and old devil's deal
I'm shot

    I can't hear the lyrics in this song, but I like it. "I had this dream again Ann shot me" It's like a dream, which is why I tolerate this lack of hearing the lyrics, thing.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
