I don't know why
You want to follow me tonight
When in the rest of the world
With whom I've crossed and I've quarreled
Let's me down so
For a thousand reasons that I know
To share forever the unrest
With all the demons I possess
Beneath the silver moon

Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry

Eighth and Ocean Drive
With all the vampires and their brides
We're all bloodless and blind
And longing for a life
Beyond the silver moon

Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry

I'm standing in the street
Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon

So far away
So outer space
I've trashed myself
I've lost my way
I've got to get to you, got to get to you

Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry

I'm standing in the street
Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon

Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry

I'm standing in the street
Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon

    i think the guy was tired of fighthing all the time with the girlfriend...so he went out one night and cheated on her of course with a vampire! so now he can't go back toi his girlfriend cause he's a vampire..."i dont know why you want to follow me tonight" means tha the girlfriend want to join him to his place now but he wont..so thats why he disapears at the end..

    he tired od being sorry cause he did a mistake and now has to pay for the rest of his life...

    Enrique his so freaking gorgeous...i just love him!!!!!! i saw him first show on Montreal WOW!!!!!!

    This song is about a man going out somewhere and his gf is following him bc he's cheated on her before. and he's saying she was right in suspecting him of cheating but that he was lonely so thats why he did it. It also hints that he's ready to leave her bc he wants to do other things and he's sick of fighting with her about it. but at the same time he still wants her. he just wants an open relationship, i guess

    My Interpretation

    This song could be about cheating, I see that, but.... this is how I see it.

    Whenever I hear this song, I think of the singer (I don't mean to specifically attach this meaning to Enrique's personal life) as someone who has gotten themselves surrounded by the lifeless, "fake" people of 'Hollywood' so to speak. He has this girl, (or had her) who warned him he would lose himself in the life of fame, but he thought he needed it. So now he is always sorry for the life he leads.

    I don't know why You wanna follow me tonight When the rest of the world With whom I've crossed and I've quarreled

    Lets me down so
    A thousand reasons that I know To share forever the unrest With all the demons I possess Beneath the silver moon

    Why do you still follow me (and love me) when you should hate me? The things I have done, the demons with in me, make me unworthy of you.

    Maybe you were right (I've lost myself to this life) But baby I was lonely (I thought I needed the fame) I don't wanna fight I'm tired of being sorry (That I didn't listen to you)

    Eight and Ocean Drive (Is there maybe a club at the corner of Eight and Ocean? That would represent the life of fame) With all the vampires and their brides (All of the fake, lifeless people of "Hollywood" and such) Were (or We're) all bloodless and blind And longing for a life (A better, real life) Beyond the silver moon (Vampires traditionally can only come out at night. They are trapped in darkness. The people the singer is speaking about are trapped in their lonely, lifeless world, and can't escape from it)

    I'm still in the street, yeah (He's still in this life) Crying out for you (Crying out for the girl he lost or is losing) No one sees me But the silver moon (I think this could be literal, standing under the moon and contemplating the things you have lost and what you have become / Or the silver moon could embody the life he lives and is now sorry for, as the 'silver moon' represents being trapped in the life in the second verse. He is still trapped under his 'silver moon.'

    So far away
    So outer space (From the life he once had, or wants to lead) I've trashed myself I've lost my way (Look what I've done to myself in this life, look what I've become) I've got to get to you, got to get to you (I've got to get back to you - back to what's right and real)

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
