She falls along the steps that lead her
I’ll crawl along this glass while bleeding
If jealously was a knife we’d all be dead
Oh unfaithful when will you find what you’re looking for

Never, she cries out forever
She never called out your name
I’ve witnessed this before
She needs to, she needs you

The death, the crucifixion (2x)

There is no headlights, turn them all out tonight
She turns around to her side, never again to notice
Anything from anyone, there is no headlights

Father part the clouds in the sky
For am I to see the cities of gold (cities of gold)
So beautiful, so beautiful

She falls along the steps that lead her
Ill be crawling across this glass while bleeding
She never knew what to make of it
The silhouette falls to the floor

She falls along the steps that lead her
I’ll crawl along this glass while bleeding
If jealously was a knife we’d all be dead
Oh unfaithful when will you find what you’re looking for

    This is obviously about a girl or whoever trying to find love & how jealousy stops her from finding love.

    i think this song is about who started out with faith but like a lot of Christians today, just wondered off the path a little and Zach is talking about her adventure and how God's love covers her even though she has strayed

    i believe that this song is about someone who has lost his/her way, and has turned their back on God and Christianity in general.

    "Oh unfaithful when will you find what you’re looking for

    Never, she cries out forever She never called out your name I’ve witnessed this before She needs to, she needs you"

    this basically is saying, when will you find your way, when will you come back to what you feel and knew once was right. Never is her crying out to God, as some have done before, that he is not real, and turning her back saying she will never believe. The bottom is saying, she once believed, she needs God, even if she says she doesnt.

    "Father part the clouds in the sky For am I to see the cities of gold (cities of gold) So beautiful, so beautiful "

    I see this as a prayer to God to show her what is right. To show her that he's there. As many of us as christians have done before. She is asking God to show her that hes there

    i think this song is about loving a female or male yourself and showing it is wrong because it is only pleasing yourself and not telling them about the love of god which would send you and "that person" to hell according to "if jealously was a knife we would all be dead" so instead of "crawling across the glass while bleeding" to reach "him" or "her" and lift them up yourself you should be "crawling across the glass while bleeding" to encourage them to have faith in god to lift her and him up to continue the journey together to heaven

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.

Cajun Girl
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."
