This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Nothing but a mudpie
wrapped up inside with a pretty bow
nothing but a castle build on top of a swamp of quicksand
and inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows
lies a rusty pot of fool's gold that you got with your life
you thought you'd take a bad bet on loyalty
you though you'd tell yourself to act like royalty
until the day you became his prey
as you tripped over your incumbent
you wash your hair in melaleuca oil
then you wrap your head up with tin foil and
prance around in your bathrobe
pretending you're a king
but you're spinning hard
sinking faster now
well you can follow your rainbows
and I will follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's
not too far to run
so I will follow the sun
follow the sun
nothing but a calendar hanging on your wall that's 23 years old
nothing but a for sale sign on a house that's already sold
trying to chew through that chocolate covered barbed wire
cause they're among the beautiful filth waiting for you on the other side
but you're spinning hard
sinking faster now
well you can follow your rainbows
and I will follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's
not too far to run
so I will follow the sun
follow the sun
follow the sun
follow the sun
clever lives end up rusty and forgotten
brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's
what I thought was so deep ended up so hollow
and what I thought had meaning ended up so shallow
yeah you can follow your rainbows
and I will follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's
not too far to run
so I will follow the sun
yeah you can follow your rainbows
and I will follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's
not too far to run
so I will follow the sun
wrapped up inside with a pretty bow
nothing but a castle build on top of a swamp of quicksand
and inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows
lies a rusty pot of fool's gold that you got with your life
you thought you'd take a bad bet on loyalty
you though you'd tell yourself to act like royalty
until the day you became his prey
as you tripped over your incumbent
you wash your hair in melaleuca oil
then you wrap your head up with tin foil and
prance around in your bathrobe
pretending you're a king
but you're spinning hard
sinking faster now
well you can follow your rainbows
and I will follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's
not too far to run
so I will follow the sun
follow the sun
nothing but a calendar hanging on your wall that's 23 years old
nothing but a for sale sign on a house that's already sold
trying to chew through that chocolate covered barbed wire
cause they're among the beautiful filth waiting for you on the other side
but you're spinning hard
sinking faster now
well you can follow your rainbows
and I will follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's
not too far to run
so I will follow the sun
follow the sun
follow the sun
follow the sun
clever lives end up rusty and forgotten
brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's
what I thought was so deep ended up so hollow
and what I thought had meaning ended up so shallow
yeah you can follow your rainbows
and I will follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's
not too far to run
so I will follow the sun
yeah you can follow your rainbows
and I will follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's
not too far to run
so I will follow the sun

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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
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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
p.s. and yeah, "Son" refers to Jesus :)
