I lost my English soul,
Pulling out the corpse,
Sheltering in the Trenches again,
Crying for a lose,

I let my arms down,
Walked away in a trance,
There's parts of me layer out,
All over France,

So I took my last waltz,
Got caught up in the wire,
Wrote a letter for my love,
As I head from the fire,

An old solider carried me,
Way to the coast, bathe my wounds in the sea,
I'm in the hands of a ghost, im in the hands of a ghost
Their boats came on in,

I tried to run away,
I got taken half by the throat,
In the burning light of day
Set down with the iron punch,

So broken and alone,
Left my blood on the beach for the tide to take me home
These wounds that I shed inside,
Two years old

So my girl she gave up,
She had taken me for dead,
She had forgot all her promises and everything she said,
Living in the darkest dream,

I rose up in the cold
These wounds that I have outside,
Are two years old,
These wounds that I have outside,

Are two years old,
Two years old
Living in the past,
Living by the mile I toke the same walk down,

As I did as a child,
The flags flew for a man,
Unaware of the fate no one saw me walk down, on my very last parade,
So thoughts turn to dust,

As I headed for the mound,
I strayed up the part, waiting for the count,
Living in the darkest dream so broken and all alone
These pain that I have inside is two years old

These scars that I have inside are more than two years old
These pain that I have inside is two years old
These scars that I have inside are more than two years old
Is more than two years

Is more than two years
Is more than two years
Is more than two years
Is more than two years

    <i>living in the past, living by the mile I took the same walk down, that I did as a child

    the flags flew full mast, unaware of the fate no one saw me walk down at my very last parade

    so thoughts turn into dust, so I headed for the mound I strayed off the path, waiting for the calm</i>

    I was reading these lyrics last night, and it's sad. Is it just me or is he killing himself? The pain that he has became too much, so he "strayed off the path, waiting for the calm". Anyways, this is one of my favorites songs from him. Sucks that there's only a live version of it

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."
