Yeah Mustang take me
Mustang Ford take me far away
Been driving for days now
Been driving to take the pain away
Gotta get some love now
Love back in my veins, gotta kill this pain

Drove down to the shoreline
Hey shoreline take me far away
There was a sign by the roadside
Back by the road is where my body's layin'
Hallucinogen headlamps
My sane scape's disrupted in a pickup truck
Drive

Hallucinogen headlamps
My sane scape's disrupted in a pickup truck
The radio still plays
Among the mangled metal frays
Petroleum spirit daze

Been drivin' for days now Oh Yeah
There was a sign by the roadside Oh Yeah
Gotta get some love now
Love back in my veins, gotta quit this pain

Do you satisfy my soul (Yeah, such a shame)
I got clean out of control (Soul ride train train)
Held ransom, Rock 'n Roll

    Brilliant song, all-too-often overlooked as the classic that it is! I'd say it's about crashing a car while driving on drugs... At least that's my literal interpretation

    To me, this is the perspective of someone who had been killed in a car crash some time before, but has yet to realize it beyond the pain of not getting out of that state of limbo; neither in heaven or in hell... While there is the realization that the body they saw was their own, they just are not permitted to realize what exactly this means due to the pain of their own demise.

    In retrospect, I finished "The Hitch-Hiker" - season 1, episode 16 of The Twilight Zone... and this song almost perfectly fits the premise of both my previous comment and the song.

    The premise of the episode is that a woman is travelling across the country and, following a tire blowout, always encounters a hitchhiker she never picks up. It slowly makes her erratic and paranoid, and when she finally tries to call her mother to tell her about all of this, she finds out her mother is still greiving the loss of her daughter following an accident weeks before due to a tire blowout at speed...

    So... Yeah... Pretty damn cool...

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."

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.
