If you can't see it doesn't mean its not there
I will take a seat in the electric chair
It's the way the cookie crumbles and the play is always fair
I got you, I got you haven't always had you

One can only wait for the sound of the phone
And if it don't ring it doesn't mean you're not home
The knot in my stomach won't leave me alone
I got you, I got you may not always have you

I'll make me numb
It haunts whether you go to or come from
I'll dig this hole of all holes for me
Poor brain, leave me alone today

I've seen how much damage I can do
I would have it any other way
No good comes from worry
If I killed it I apologize, yeah I'm feeling a bit sorry

Up in a tizzy, I'm all up in a squeeze
Need some information, yeah I'm asking with please
I can't get myself up off of my knees
I got you, I got you, haven't always had you

My head is a mess I'm breaking into a sweat
I'm not filled with organs but I'm filled with regret
Can we do it all again and pretend we just met
I got you, I got you may not always have you

I'll climb down into this hole for me
Pour dirt on myself for me

    i kind of agree. it's more like he's dating this girl and whenever she's not around, he gets paranoid. not because she's done anything that would suggest infidelity, but because he thinks these things up. he's afraid he has/will sabatoge the relationship because of this overwhelming habit of creating bad situations. awesome song.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
