It's cold for early June but the sun is rising fast
There's a dew up on the quiet hill where he lays in the grass
Staring up at Heaven's gates to see if he can see in Jesus' eyes
The woman that he thinks of is still lying fast asleep
As he asks for resolution and prays his soul to keep
A man of God in love can't touch a man of God, temptation, sun rise

But it doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I don't care
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right
It just means not in this life

This has always been the path for him since the age of nine or ten
And if only he remembered now the things he knew back then
It seemed God had a plan for him
A clear and decisive role
But he never would have seen her if she hadn't come to pray
If she didn't need forgiveness, he'd be a holy man today
If she wasn't so damn beautiful
If her eyes didn't bleed into his soul

Dear God, I am sorry for my sins
Dear God, I am sorry for the situation I'm in
He'll analyze the burning, the tremble in his chest
Falls behind on duties and he's sleeping less and less
He doesn't pay attention in church
He doesn't answer to his name when people call
He's got himself this apple and it's looking so damn good
But just because he can bite it, it doesn't mean he should
He lets her know his feelings
Eden is burning and he doesn't care at all

I'm sorry for my sins
I'm sorry for my sins
I'm sorry for my sins
I'm sorry for my sins
I'm sorry for my sins
I'm sorry for my sins

Well I am sorry for my sins, yeah
I am sorry for my sins
But it doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I don't care
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right
It just means not in this
Just means not in this
It just means not in this life
I'm sorry for my
I'm sorry for my
I'm sorry for my sins

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."
