Jimmy
his secrets out
the one he locked inside and denied every word about
he's guilty so his story claims
twisting in his seat he repeats alone his name
Counting the woes
between his every line
searchin miles and miles to define
just what it all means
Jimmy
as quiet as a church mouse
painted every graphic scene but with few details
his accomplice had made sure of this
when she sealed it with a bedspring kiss
and when her time had come to go
Jimmy washed the bloodstains form her clothes
but with a needle in his vein
he knew he could not explain
just what it all means
counting the words between his every line
searchin miles and miles to define
just what it all means
killing his time
a monkey in his vein
he knew he could not explain
just what it all means
just what it all means

    guys, come on the guy has a split personality, repeating alone his name, and so on, the one he locked inside... and his accomplice was a woman who I believe took advantage of Jimmy, screwing him, (bedspring kiss) which would shut him up, so he would kill FOR her and he cleaned her up to protect her, see he can make no sense of it because he believed she loved him and now he is caught. but she is the monkey in his vein, his love, he did the dirty work. he takes the rap.... counting the words, between the confession, repeating his name etc... signing a confession he cant explain. The only other change might be she killed and he took the rap because he loved her. same senario otherwise

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
