Wide awake, fall again
Scratchin' at my wounds
Always in tune
Love came too soon

And in the morning, I saw the wave
Wasn't it something
And you say you don't need me
And you say you love the scene

Forget about you

Had a feelin' it would come to this
Stitches always breaking
Every sound that you make
Keeps me awake

And in the morning, I saw the gaze
It wasn't a comfort
And you say you don't need me
And you say you want to breathe

Forget about you

Forget about all this life we have
We were the unseen
And I don't regret the days
Wasn't it something

Forget about you

    This song seems to be about one of the people wanting out of the relationship, but the other person still sees the positive sides of the relationship...and maybe even wants to hold onto it...but because the other person is no longer concerned, they have to forget about the past. It seems like the person saw it coming on because he says,"and in the morning, I saw the gaze, it wasn't a comfort." We've all been in relationships where we know the other person just doesn't want to be there anymore...and it rips you apart. The only way to move on is to forget....which is easier said than done.

    He lays awake, unable to sleep. The pain inside of him has gone numb, though he still goes over and over it in his mind, drawing out the pain worse and worse as he "scratches at his wounds". Their long-time conflict--she feels restricted by her relationship with him, like she can't go out and be a part of "the scene". I feel like this is a result of the long-distance relationship, particularly because it talks about "all the life [they] had" and they "were the unseen", which implies that no one else fully understood the depth and breadth of their probably very private relationship.

    It's always hard when someone falls out of love with you before you fall out of love with them.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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."
