Driving down the road I hear the radio
And your muffled screams through the backseat
I just made your shoes but they need to be
Cleaned for meet-and-greet
So classic, so smooth
As you sedated me
I slipped a little something into your drink
A potion, more like a poision
I tell you as you drive on

Brake lights shine through black
They reveal the burial plot
One last kiss before your final send-off

You take my final breaths
Thrust them into the ocean
Cement shoes, I shall become one with death

The air bubbles start to surface
A sensation of satisfaction sweeps over my entire body
Content with the done deal
The taste of this victory is almost to much for me

Don't you forget I killed you
With my death that I home-brewed
As I sink down I remember what the sea king said
"You die here"

The chemicals begin to mix
Vision begins to blur
I fall to my knees
I am my own victim

I was meant this way, either way
You tapped my phones, I made the setup
It was meant to be neptune's plan
No fate involved

    From my interpretation a man decides to kill his wife, He sedates her with a drink and ties her up. While she is tied up he begins making the cement, "her shoes." He is going to throw her into the ocean. Neptune is the god of the sea, so he is referred to as god. His plan all along is for both of them to die. While the man plans her death he must have talked to someone because it speaks of his phones being tapped so while she is being sedated she slips a poison into his drink. After he kills her the chemicals begin to mix, meaning the poison begins to take effect. He becomes his own victim. By killing his wife he caused her to kill him.

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.
