Start up the engine
Let's get out by heading away from here
And there's no next year for me here
Take hits and pass it
And let all the ashes fall to the floor
Once you have it all you still want more
Take my innocence away
Would they even notice either way?
My visions blurred
Can you tell that I'm a kid that was not into going to church?

The stars are burning out tonight
Do you think we'll stay this high?
And watch our favorite ones outside
Before this turns to black
Let's burn away our past
And set this cruise control for crash

Start up the fire
Let's burn this place straight down, down to the ground
If no one makes a sound then I say
Let's use my lighter
In life we're the writers to our own books
I've written mine on lies and catchy hooks
Let's dance around the mess we've made
Call someone up, let's score an eighth
To sit and relax
There's nothing we can do about the past

The stars are burning out tonight
Do you think we'll stay this high?
And watch our favorite ones outside
Before this turns to black
Let's burn away our past
And set this cruise control for crash

Someone sees smoke, call 911
Let's let this burn until it's done
Don't walk away
Let's let them see the mess that we became
Sirens flashing, here's the cops
Don't blame this on not having jobs
But dreams, and I see things
Cause I'm not afraid to think outside the box
And now I'm shaking
I hope I'm making perfect sense
So place your bets to see where I end up
And oh my god this place is so messed up
And rip me apart to see my insides
Compose myself, I'm not secure
And don't believe (don't believe) a single thing that you have heard
And throw my pride into this fire
My confidence is dead, I'm tired
Who's giving up? (I'm giving up)
I won't burn out, I'll just burn up
And I was raised on excellence
Always taught to look my best
I don't wanna be just anybody
I don't wanna be anything you forget
Villians die and heroes live forever
Tragic endings get remembered
I don't wanna be just anybody
I don't wanna be anything you forget...

And I won't be someone you forget
So don't forget
Just don't forget
And I won't be someone you forget

They won't forget you in the end
They won't forget you in the end
They won't forget you in the end
They won't forget you in the end
They won't forget you in the end
They won't forget you in the end
They won't forget you in the end
They won't forget you in the end

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
