We are young
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
We don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

I see the children in the rain like the parade before the pain
I see the love, I see the hate, I see this world that we can make
I see the life, I see the sky, Give it all to see you fly
Yes, we wave this flag of hatred, but you're the ones who made it
Watch the beauty of all our lies passing right before my eyes
I hear the hate in all your words. All the wars to make us hurt
We get so sick oh so sick, we never wanted all this
Medication for the kids with no reason to live

So we
March to the drums of the dammed as we come
Watch it burn in the sun, we are numb

We are young
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
We don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

As we walk among these shadows, in these streets, these fields of battle
Take it up, we wear the medal, raise your hands with burning candles
Hear us whisper in the dark, in the rain you see the spark
Feel the beating of our hearts, fleeting hope as we depart
All together, walk alone against all we've ever known
All we've ever really wanted was a place to call our home
But you take all we are, the innocence of our hearts
Made to kneel before the alter as you tear us apart

So we
March to the drums of the dammed as we come
Watch it burn in the sun, we are numb

We are young
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
We don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

We will fight or we will fall
Till the angels save us all

We will fight or we will fall
Till the angels save us all

We will fight or we will fall
Till the angels save us all

We will fight or we will fall
Till the angels save us all

We are young
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
We don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

We are young
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
We don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

    Whenever i hear this song this is all i can picture.

    A group of kids that don't want to go through life not doing anything to be remembered by, they want to make a change, they want to be remembered, they don't want to follow the normal, they will leave their homes and see how much better they can do. a huge group of kids. with ripped and torn clothes, with hollywood undead leading them throughout the streets. And all the streets are destroyed and ruined.

    But you see the kids with hope in their eyes.

    Thats what this song means.

    Song Meaning

    the lyrics "we are strong, we don't belong" means everybody is strong and the government makes us feel like we don't belong "we wave this flag of hatred but you're the one who made it." means we don't like the government and alot of other things in this world but they are the ones causing that hatred to show from us towards them. "I see this love i see this hate i see this world that we can make." means the government is giving up an opportunity to make this a better place to live. "We are young But we have heart Born in this world as it all falls apart"means that all the young people were given this world we live in today all the young people were not prepared to take this world but it was dumped on us, we tried to clean it up but it didn't work. "all together walk alone against all we've ever known" means that we want to walk together against the government but everybody is so trained and so many people look up to this government they don't want to "we will fight or we will fall till the angels save us all" means that we will fight to gain power or over throw the government or die trying until they give up.

    "I see the children in the rain Like the parade of all the pain"

    It sounds like this ----

    "I see the children in the rain, Like the parade before the pain"

    And the other question mark is right.

    i would say MatterDestroyer and godblessrockmusicians, you guys have nothing else better to do than to make fun of other bands that you dont like because you guys have no life. and if you said all of this shit to HU's faces, you guys would get your asses beat. so sitting in your moms basement behind your computer isnt going to get you anywhere so you should just shutup because your gay, no one likes you, and most people just really dont give one shit fuck what you two no life losers think.

    no its definitely "we have heart"

    because, for one, it makes more sense. and also heart rhymes with apart, which is in the next line.

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
