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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
two people - both lost their loved ones, their true love. in their desperation and sorrow they find each other, creating a lifeboat against the darkness that consumes them. but they cannot admit it openly, as it would be a blasphemy against their lost ones.
I imagine it being two people in failing relationships (or at least relationships that they aren't happy in) finding one another and dealing with the possible feelings of guilt that might come along with the idea of cheating on their respective partners. I say go for it, you live once, might as well be happy.
hi, first post here.. firstly, awesome album i love the witty and clever lyrics all throught the album the lyrics to this song almost remind me of the movie Titanic (although my memory of the movie may be a bit hazy -its been a while since i last saw it)
After all our dreams went down Sinking for our very eyes
-scene: titanic is sinking. their "dreams" in connotation with the journey at hand are going down; sinking.
Still echoing the sound Oh, the frozen dreadful cries
-frozen: cold sea - people screaming
Witnessed the passing of our only loves Lose a battle to the sea
-their only love (between dicaprio and winslet) lost a battle to the sea (the guy dying)
Why did you choose my only love? It could have easily been me
-notice the girl sings this part: basically saying it could have been me (that had to stay in the water and freeze to death)
But it seems there was some other plan One I don't care to understand In the refuge of these foreign arms I could find your holy land
-so guy sings first 2 lines; the "grand plan" is beyond him now that he is dead. next 2 lines by the girl: she has to go marry someone else yet she can still "find his holy land" from the memory that remains
How can it be that we defy this tragedy From this lifeboat in the dark Is it wrong that we could come together? Wind and sorrow bear a spark
-pretty self explanatory imo: lifeboat is obviously the lifeboat that the girl was on, and probably holds a deeper meaning in the sense of "struggle against the sea" (that they were battling in the prev stanza)
In our soul and desperation Truest thing we'd ever known
But to admit that to the world would be blasphemy Just to show we had our ground
yeah this interpretation may be a bit far-fetched but this picture was in my mind instantly after listening to this song a couple times and reading the lyrics closely.
definitely an awesome song regardless of how one wants to interpret, i wish there were more stuff like this.
