Every dollar counts
And every morning hurts
We mostly work to live
Until we live to work

She said, "You know, there's nowhere else to go."
But change in rows
It struck me that the two of us could run

Words away from cars
And all the stars in bars
Where a little bit of condensation means so much
And a little bit of change is all your little fingers touch

I said, "You know, there's nowhere else to go."
But change in rolls
It struck me that the two of us could run

Cause honey with you
Is the only honest way to go
And I could take two
But I really couldn't ever know
Honey with you
And a little battered radio
We could try

So lead my feet away
Cause all they do is stay
And I don't think your eyes
Have ever looked surprised

She said, "You know, there's nowhere left to go."
But with her fund
It struck me that the two of us could run

Cause honey with you
Is the only honest way to go
And I could take two
If I really couldn't ever know
Honey with you
And battered radio
We could try

    I think it's "change in rolls", like when people keep a change jar in their house. The girl has a stash of money ("but with her fund") and the guy is talking about how they could take the money and either elope or just get away from their day to day lives for a while. The "battered radio" thing almost makes me think they're taking a road trip. The only line that trips me up is "I could take two but I really couldn't ever know" Anyone know what it means?

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."
