You smacked her right between her blue eyes
You didn't think ahead, yeah that was what he said
Then everyone of us just turned our backs to him and said
That was not a nice thing to do yeah
I can't believe that he was so cruel

But you love your brother
No matter what they say
Yeah you love your brothers
No matter what kind of games you play

And it's gonna rain that's what they say
And we're just gonna cover our heads
And we ain't coming out ´till we're dead, oh no
And It's gonna drown all of our sins
But we don't wanna loose what we've got
No we don't wanna loose what we own, oh no

This stinking alley's full of old cats and dogs
They got no money and they got no home
Oh I was once one of them but now I'm on my own
And it feels so good to be an outlaw
In your perfect world

â??Cause you love your brothers
No matter what they say
Yeah you love your brother
No matter what kind of games you play
(Oh Yeah)

It's gonna rain that's what they say
And we're just gonna cover our heads
And we ain't coming out ´till we're dead, oh no
And It's gonna drown all of our sins
But we don't wanna loose what we've got
No we don't wanna loose what we own, oh no

And It's gonna rain and that's for sure,
It's gonna rain and that's for sureâ?¦

    I think this is about when one of the lead singers hit a female journalist at a party, then the details surrounding it were a mess in the papers afterwards. I still don't know the full story, but I hear apologies were made and it is ancient news now. So, I guess the song is about standing by eachother through all the crap that their fame will bring and has brought.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
