Her touch intoxicating
She holds my heart within her hands
Unmerciful
She has become my everything!

Kissed with broken glass
The softest touch will penetrate
And steal my breath
I close my eyes and suffocate

She is my dark desire
With all the trappings of regret
Dressed in blasphemy
(She pulls the stitches from my eyes)
She's my suffering
The taste of death is on her lips
Dressed in blasphemy
She takes my breathe and takes my life

She is my misery
To touch her skin of whitest lies
So beautiful
She has become my everything

She is the kiss of death
My body longing just to feel
Her final breath
To close her eyes and suffocate

    It's so angry yet so freakin' catchy as hell. Probably my favorite off the CD.

    I feel that this song is talking about Sin and how it can appear to be beautiful at first and exotic. Then after a while the life and the "air" gets sucked out of you to the point where you don't even know who you are anymore. Or it could be an addiction that's weighing this dude down and he feels surpressed by it and can't get out.

    i agree with noofalicious... the sin idea... i was thinking the exact same thing. the Bible refers to sin as she a bunch of times

    Maybe it's about drugs? Meth? Probably not what he had intended, but there is a connection between this and meth or cocaine or some other drug.

    I like the drug idea, that WOULD make a little more sense. I think we all know what it means if it's about some girl. Well if you're looking at it from a really far off glance, then it could just be about pretty much any addiction for anything.

    Either the forbidden romance idea or the drug idea both work.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
