This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh-huh, that's right
I took your words, and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah, huh, that's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong
I know better 'cause you said forever, and ever
Who knew?
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no, no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
'Fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
But they knew better, still you said forever, and ever
Who knew?
(Yeah, yeah)
I'll keep you locked in my head (my head)
Until we meet again (meet again)
Until we, until we meet again
And I won't forget you, my friend
What happened?
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss, I'll cherish until we meet again
And time makes it harder, I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory, you visit me in my sleep
My darling, who knew?
My darling, my darling, who knew?
My darling, I miss you
My darling, who knew?
Who knew?
You promised me you'd be around
Uh-huh, that's right
I took your words, and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah, huh, that's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong
I know better 'cause you said forever, and ever
Who knew?
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no, no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
'Fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
But they knew better, still you said forever, and ever
Who knew?
(Yeah, yeah)
I'll keep you locked in my head (my head)
Until we meet again (meet again)
Until we, until we meet again
And I won't forget you, my friend
What happened?
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss, I'll cherish until we meet again
And time makes it harder, I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory, you visit me in my sleep
My darling, who knew?
My darling, my darling, who knew?
My darling, I miss you
My darling, who knew?
Who knew?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
I now find this song ironic because I walked around singing it for years, and yeah I'd knew exactly what she was saying but it never fully hit me until just now. My boyfriend and I had been together for five nearly perfect years. The problem was that there was quite a controversial age difference. A six year gap (me being 15 and him being 21, before you say anything, we were long distance, not sexually active and didn't jump into a relationship. We were really good friends who made sure the other didn't commit suicide and we just fell for each other). It's hard getting dirty looks because of the person you love's age but I knew what was true. He loved me too. I looked forward to turning 18 and moving in with him and spending my life with him. And for those five years he did too. I'll save you the whole sob story and say we officially split last night. And I can't even hate him because no matter what, he's perfect in my eyes. And if he's happy, I'll do my best to keep him that way even if it does hurt. He got me through alot of hurt, and I defended him from everything I could and kept him alive. I thought we'd be forever. A regular fairy tale and I argued down everyone who said otherwise. Who feels like an ass now? Hah. He is and always be my angel,my first love, my dream guy. But the future isn't set in stone. Last time I let myself get blinded. Who knew?

You poor dear, I hope it gets easier for you. :)
@averystripes The fact that you had a relationship like this so early in your life is amazing just by itself. It suggests you're capable of so much more. (That's not a criticism; more like I'm in awe of both of you). I just hope you take pride in what you've been through, and what you've done for him and take that pride into an happy future. And don't feel stupid, ok?
@averystripes I feel you I hate it when people criticize age gap. Last relationship I was he was almost 3 years older I met him as a freshmen while he was a senior my parents didn't approve so after a year of trying to hide it they broke us up. He moved on. I didn't. People gave me shit at school for dating someone older, and I feel stupid for doing so, I was holding him back from a lot of stuff, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't happy with me as I was with him.
@averystripes thank you for sharing. This is a good testament to the saying “love never dies.” I think, and this may sound strange, but I think I would really like you if I met you. I am trying to be one of those steadfast loves, myself.
