Your secret is safe, I'll keep it on the inside
You're grubbin' your play, makin' up the white lie
I can't complain, she spurned me off of my pie
I should have known better, she came in from the wrong side of the tracks

I'll keep my mouth shut, nothing else I can do
At the rate that you're goin', baby pretty soon

The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - what you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - all about it baby

I used to be as foolish as the last guy
I've made up my mind, there'll never be a next time, no
Now that you're gone, before you break affection
Yeah, there's so many like me, you know they're getting wise to your deception

I'll keep my mouth shut, nothing else I can do
At the rate that you're goin', baby pretty soon

The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - what you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - all about it baby

Nothing I can do, oh-oh, yeah yeah

I'll keep my mouth shut, nothing else I can do
At the rate that you're goin'

The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - what you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - all about it baby

The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - what you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - all about it baby

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."

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.
