Won't you take me where my
feet feel wholly in their own time
And the Cathedral of Reason lets the bells chime,
and the lighting is fine?
I'm old enough to know that
people waiting on some big sign
Should quit their waiting on the Devine.
Devine is what's in your mind

I've seen the cruel and hard and I've seen them hard on you
I'll buy you brand new shoes, if you cross to my side
There's a whole lot of walking to do

And if we're near or far from our city by the seaside
As long as we keep our stride,
I believe we'll be fine

You've seen the years roll on,
and you've seen me roll with you
I see the road is long, so get on my side
There's a whole lot of walking to do

And if we stay on our feet we'll make it in our own time
And though the road has got some steep climbs,
I believe we'll be fine

From your house, to my house, to the Mews
There's a whole lot of walking to do
Bethnal Green, to the Tube
There's a whole lot of walking to do
Aoyama to Shobuya
There's a whole lot of walking to do
Rock Creek Park, to the Ave., and out past the zoo
There's a whole lot of walking, whole lot of walking to do

And I'm here (and I'm here) and you're here and it's true
There's a whole lot walking to do
And you're cool (you're cool), and I'm cool, and it's true
There's a whole lot of walking to do
There's no fuss (no fuss!) and I trust, I trust you
There's a whole lot of walking to do
And you're strong (and I'm strong) and I can be too
There's a whole lot of walking to do
And you do, and I do
There's a whole lot of walking to do

    while i agree with the religion aspect. and i know he is much deeper than this. but i tend to think it just may be about two people who need to compromise in a relationship.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
