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.
Sonic fires bring mass devastation,
Manic search in sad desperation,
Jeopardise the right to hide from a sad existence,
Nothing left, still searching for something,
Deep beneath the cries
Wait for the deafening silence, fly forever more.
Crushed by the thought that you're all alone, cravation in her eyes,
I will be waiting tomorrow,
Striving to understand, wasting a life not meant to be,
Twisted and so broken once again,
And the promises we cast away will shine a guiding light,
Victim of your grief and denial.
Take my hand, this one last time,
Face the world before us, the warrior inside,
In a lifetime of disaster, it's a battle to the end,
Final stand, my life must carry on,
And forever, this time
Battered, beaten, forced to submission,
Stricken by your fatal decision,
Suddenly it's time to say your last goodbyes,
Misery remains voluntary, all illusion gone,
Break through the blistering madness,
Free forever more.
Blinded my eyes with your filtering mutation cast aside,
I'll still be waiting tomorrow,
Stand to a toxic man, forced to a life of yesterday,
Theatre of salvation crushed and burned,
Down this lonely road, recede the day our dreams are brushed,
Can't regain this emptiness in time.
Take my hand, this one last time,
Face the world before us, the warrior inside,
In a lifetime of disaster, it's a battle to the end,
Final stand, my life must carry on,
And forever, this time
See through the skies,
Far beyond the road tonight,
Here the sounds of freedom ring,
In a silent dream, and a million miles away.
See through the skies, far beyond our world tonight,
Hear the sounds of freedom ring,
In a silent dream,
And a million miles away
Reach for the stars,
And live our lives forever free,
In our hearts for a thousand years,
And a thousand lifetimes before
And the dawn of a new day will rise, a light for us all
Manic search in sad desperation,
Jeopardise the right to hide from a sad existence,
Nothing left, still searching for something,
Deep beneath the cries
Wait for the deafening silence, fly forever more.
Crushed by the thought that you're all alone, cravation in her eyes,
I will be waiting tomorrow,
Striving to understand, wasting a life not meant to be,
Twisted and so broken once again,
And the promises we cast away will shine a guiding light,
Victim of your grief and denial.
Take my hand, this one last time,
Face the world before us, the warrior inside,
In a lifetime of disaster, it's a battle to the end,
Final stand, my life must carry on,
And forever, this time
Battered, beaten, forced to submission,
Stricken by your fatal decision,
Suddenly it's time to say your last goodbyes,
Misery remains voluntary, all illusion gone,
Break through the blistering madness,
Free forever more.
Blinded my eyes with your filtering mutation cast aside,
I'll still be waiting tomorrow,
Stand to a toxic man, forced to a life of yesterday,
Theatre of salvation crushed and burned,
Down this lonely road, recede the day our dreams are brushed,
Can't regain this emptiness in time.
Take my hand, this one last time,
Face the world before us, the warrior inside,
In a lifetime of disaster, it's a battle to the end,
Final stand, my life must carry on,
And forever, this time
See through the skies,
Far beyond the road tonight,
Here the sounds of freedom ring,
In a silent dream, and a million miles away.
See through the skies, far beyond our world tonight,
Hear the sounds of freedom ring,
In a silent dream,
And a million miles away
Reach for the stars,
And live our lives forever free,
In our hearts for a thousand years,
And a thousand lifetimes before
And the dawn of a new day will rise, a light for us all

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."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i do. these lyrics are wrong, just like the rest that were posted :P i'll have more to say later.

Sonic fires bring mass devastation, Manic search in sad desperation, Jeopardise the right to hide from a sad existence, Nothing left, still searching for something, Deep beneath the cries Wait for the deafening silence, fly forever more.
Crushed by the thought that you're all alone, cravation in her eyes, I will be waiting tomorrow, Striving to understand, wasting a life not meant to be, Twisted and so broken once again, And the promises we cast away will shine a guiding light, Victim of your grief and denial.
[Chorus:] Take my hand, this one last time, Face the world before us, the warrior inside, In a lifetime of disaster, it's a battle to the end, Final stand, my life must carry on, And forever, this time.

See through the skies, Far beyond the road tonight, Here the sounds of freedom ring, In a silent dream, and a million miles away.
See through the skies, far beyond our world tonight, Hear the sounds of freedom ring, In a silent dream, And a million miles away.
Reach for the stars, And live our lives forever free, In our hearts for a thousand years, And a thousand lifetimes before.
And the dawn of a new day will rise, a light for us all.
