This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I been caught sideways out here on the crossroads
Tryin' to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul
It's hard when the devil won't get off your back
It's like carryin' around the past in a hundred pound sack
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
Gonna leave it all behind
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
Skeletons and ghosts are hidin' in the shadows
Threatening me with all the things that they know
Choices and mistakes - they all know my name
I'm through holdin' in and holdin' on to all that pain
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I know, I know, I know, I know I been forgiven
I know, I know, I know, I'm gonna start livin'
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
I'm gonna leave it all behind
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh yeah
Tryin' to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul
It's hard when the devil won't get off your back
It's like carryin' around the past in a hundred pound sack
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
Gonna leave it all behind
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
Skeletons and ghosts are hidin' in the shadows
Threatening me with all the things that they know
Choices and mistakes - they all know my name
I'm through holdin' in and holdin' on to all that pain
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I know, I know, I know, I know I been forgiven
I know, I know, I know, I'm gonna start livin'
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
I'm gonna leave it all behind
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh yeah

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song

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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This song would definitely go on the mix tape (playlist) of a motivational mix for when you're feeling beaten. I found this passage from 'The 5 People You Meet in Heaven': ‘All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.’
You carry those pieces around long enough and you're not ever going to heal. Tim's song is probably the Country equivalent of Third Eye Blind's "Jumper" (it would be the lead-off song on the mix tape; also add Collective Soul's 'The World I Know'); here's the only part you really need to remember: 'Well everyone I know has got a reason...maybe today, We can put the past away'.
I live this song almost day of my life. Some days less then others. But the lyrics remind me what to do. I'm let it go... ;)
Just as the title says, it's about letting your past mistakes, regrets, and bad choices go, and just embracing the future. Tim's voice is awesome, and I love thiw song. =)
This song is absolutely amazing, it perfectly describes how i need to move on with my life... Tim McGraw is an amazing singer
this song is amazing. i heard it once and immediatly loved it. =)
