Where is the one
Who will mourn me when I'm gone
Who will pour water on my bed of dirt
Who will breathe fire on my neck at night

I heard someone say
There's a chance that I would meet her
I could be perse-
phone and she demeter
To pull me from the underground that I call home

Her name is no one no one...
She blinds me with her eyes 'cause she's
The one, the one
She lives somewhere not here...

My lovers are as smooth
As a politician's tongue
The more I look for goodness,
The more that I find none

(3X) I heard someone say,
That she's honest and good...

Her name is no one no one no one...

Her name is no one no one...
She blinds me with her eyes 'cause she's
The one, the one
She lives somewhere not here...

I measure out my days
With sips of a corona
I'm pretty sure she drives
An old fucked up corolla
To pull me from the underground
That I call home

I've a funny feeling
There's no chance that I will meet her
so I'll measure out my nights
To my metronome's meter

Her name is no one...
Her name is no one...
Her name is no one.....

    I think this is one of those songs that can be interpreted any way the listener wants to for their particular situation.

    However, I think the intended meaning of the song is kind of an angsty sarcasm about not being able to find the perfect girl.

    The singer starts out by asking where the girl for him is, and then talks about all the things people tell him the girl for him will be like; like the way people always say that there's a better, perfect, person out there for you.

    I think that the reason he says her name is "No one" and that she "lives somewhere not here" is because he's saying that the perfect girl doesn't really exist, and he can't find anyone for him.

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."
