This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sure was a hell of a mistake I made
But I sure am glad that I made it
No way for a grown man to behave
More the act of a teen opportunist
I stand accused of losing my head
We sit so high on the city walls
Our tears wash clean the cobblestones
It's not so much that the thrill is gone
Just a cleaner, sweeter, brighter thrill has come along
I can sense trouble just around the bend
And it's all been my kind of making
I can't carry on with all this pretence
When it's clear that my love has been fading
I stand accused of the things I said
We sit so high on the city walls
Our tears wash clean the cobblestones
It's not so much that the thrill is gone
Just a cleaner, sweeter, brighter thrill has come along
But I sure am glad that I made it
No way for a grown man to behave
More the act of a teen opportunist
I stand accused of losing my head
We sit so high on the city walls
Our tears wash clean the cobblestones
It's not so much that the thrill is gone
Just a cleaner, sweeter, brighter thrill has come along
I can sense trouble just around the bend
And it's all been my kind of making
I can't carry on with all this pretence
When it's clear that my love has been fading
I stand accused of the things I said
We sit so high on the city walls
Our tears wash clean the cobblestones
It's not so much that the thrill is gone
Just a cleaner, sweeter, brighter thrill has come along

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
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

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.
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/
No comments yet? ah well! i really like this song. i think its quite self explanatory to be honest. "It's not so much that the thrill is gone Just a cleaner, sweeter, brighter thrill has come along " I'm sure everyone can relate to it in some way or another. its pretty much a song saying things happen for one reason or another but sometimes even if something good is happening, sometimes something even better can happen! great opener to a pretty good cd.
Awesome song! To me, it's about a guy who is in a relationship and he has known that it's been going a bit stale for a while: "I can't carry on with all this pretence When it's clear that my love has been fading". Anyway, he is attracted to someone else (a new "thrill") which just cements the fact that it's time to walk away from the stale relationship. He's not proud of the fact that his eye's wandered, but realises it's just further confirmation that he has to end it. Awesome album :)
He discovered someone new while visiting Spain. He cheated on his partner of 12 years. He decided the Spanish lady was better for him anyway. They are now married.
(note: I can only confirm the last statement - the rest is mere filling in the gaps)
For the reference to Spain, check out Bless My Soul, by his band, Powderfinger.
Ahh... the song makes a lot more sense now frog_man. 'Sure was a hell of a mistake I made But I sure am glad that I made it No way for a grown man to behave More the act of a teen opportunist'
How interesting- the meaning seems so obvious now. Strangely, I like it a little more now I know it's about something real. Even though I've lost a good amount of respect for Bernard Fanning as a person after reading that, the song has only been raised in my esteem.
Assuming Frog man's definition is correct, and it could well be, all i have to say is this...
What a terrible thing it is to say "Just a cleaner, sweeter, brighter thrill has come along "
I mean...imagine breaking up with a girl and saying, "Oh i still like you, but i found someone who is...just better than you"
what frog man said is true, bernard was with his woman for 12 years and he went to spain and met his now wife....there is a line in bless my soul by powderfinger that basically says know one knows what he got up to in spain, and of course the line "your sweet love has blessed my soul"
"tears wash clean the cobblestones" - there are millions of cobblestione streets in spain (i live there now)<br /> <br /> bless my soudl also has a line "cover me in red and gold" Red and gold are the colours of the spanish flag and when translated in spanish, it makes references to a spanish patriotic saying
I think it’s sad. Because what happens when that relationship ends? you have to learn to stay put and work it out at some point because the grass is not greener my parents taught me well. if you keep running it’s gonna keep ending so you might as well stay and learn to work it out. where has everyone’s morals gone? Wow!
