so I sit around in this lonely room
hoping to god that I hear from you
but I won't, this time

and the phone doesn't ring
and all I can do is think
that you traded in a life of gold
for a pile of melting snow

we have been here before
but it seems worse this time
I thought you had made up your mind

I tried to be strong and look past this hurt
but with so many miles, we just have our word
so I'm going away to clear out my head
I hope that it's you that I see in the end

when I think about that day in spain
and how happy you looked in those crystal blue waves
that is the girl that I'll always love
so soft on the inside with outsides so tough

so in the end, if we're what we choose
there will be a room waiting for you inside of my heart
you can lock all the doors and cry out your eyes
for the years you've endured

you're not the kid they said that you'd be
you're honest and thoughtful and move gracefully
I understand it's not a lack of concern
it's just a disease that drains all your worth

and we'll both make mistakes and we'll both shift the blame
but through it all, we'll still love the same
so maybe next christmas, after the tears
we'll lie in that bed all covered in bears
and we'll laugh about it
and we'll cry about it
and we'll think about it
and we'll forget about it

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."

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.
