Solarium malaria looking for the stereo
Wanted to save being excommunicated from the area
A it’s okay.
In the city he said he cut a cord of wood,
No bigger than a thimble but still plenty good.
A it’s okay.

Cause it’s just a bump on a rash of robberies.
On account of the world economy that’s making us sick.

Go get the man who said he’s on to me,
He thinks we’re in the kitchen with our sticks.
But he don’t know that Paris is burning down,
You’d never know it in this town.
The governor’s walking around like he’s got tricks for you.

Catch as Cassius never became the killing machine,
Run him over ruff shod ‘till he bleeds army green out,
So devout to the saint that lost his seat he never seen,
Semi-automatic rosary out devout.

Cause it’s just a bump on a rash of robberies.
In a world to sad for Solomon we just sit.

I’ll watch your economy,
I’ll tell you when the police have it fixed.

Paris is burning down,
You’d never know it in this town.
The governor’s walking around like he’s got tricks for you.

So take a minute to laugh it over,
We’ll make sure it’s all true,
Just like she said behind the barn on last December eve.

Baby falls 40 feet caught by a street cleaner
Coming home from the union hall, he saw the fall.
A it’s okay.
JP Sousa found a radio, a radio
Sousa found a place to go, a radio in his head that said…

It’s just a bump on a rash of robberies,
An old sand lot anomaly that’s saving this day.
In a world too sad for sodomy
We’re just sitting in the kitchen with our stray.

But Paris is burning down
Governors are walking around
We’ll make sure that they do right by you.

So you think you might go to Beatrice
Even though the letter was never found,
Maybe it will come tomorrow noon.

She is asking her fallen saint to
Please return her straight-laced fighter
Who don’t know who she is,
He don’t know who she is.

Where are you my sweet Desmond Doss,
Have you softly gone to winter,
Here I’ve brought you your two two-dollar bills back.

But I’m not waiting for sweet Eliza.
She can have her watercolors back,
I found them on last December eve.

You look strangely quite so familiar,
The way you talk of suppertime
But I don’t know who she is,
Don’t know who she is.

And you, you bring this beloved stranger
At the foot of this pile on Gideon’s bed,
She gave me a needlepoint motorbike.

SO go and take this to sweet Eliza,
It was written and gently given to the courier
Pending arrival soon.

Could you hold me just one more older
Then I’ll go as your fallen fighter
Waiting at the door, can’t see you anymore,

Here my dear a sweet Nostrovia,
In a letter sent to December.
I will wait for you to just humble me home.

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.
