Intro:
It was like the end of world. There was destruction everwhere.
People scrambled around in hysterical panic.
Cars, buses and taxi were slamming into each other by the second.
Mass confussion reigned down on the matropolis like never before.
And the cause of all this...

[Verse 1 - Chester P]
Start the procession, march of the dead men,
Clutching the vision of a blind mans senses.
Every man's Judas, trusting corruptus,
Thirty bits of silver's on your mind in the darkness.
Living on the carcass of a world on the market,
Markings are wiped out.
You can buy the sky now, the stars and the sun too.
Look what controls us, look what becomes you,
Look to your compass.
Check your direction,
Watch for horsemen lost with the offspring of legends,
I'm boxed in this frame full of tension,
With both eyes watching.
Dead men tell no tales and I'm talking,
Caught in a war for material importance.
Earth song crutched, wretched and blistered.
We tested this restistance, I question existance.
All man's Judas, we all have the symptoms,
Distance arriving, last of the heart beats,
Can't speak, can't think, can't ever seem to sleep.
Have you ever felt guilt for way you live?
People starving while you're eating on your favourite dish.
Pollution's rising, the ice caps are mealting quick.
You might think it's better un said.
But some times I feel like we're better off dead, yeah.
You might think it's better un said.
But some times I feel like we're better off dead.

-Hook-
Looking at the end and my eyes in the mirror,
Death shall become us, we're better off dead.
Looking at the Judas in us all in the mirror,
Death shall become us, we're better off dead.
Looking at the end and my eyes in the mirror,
Death shall become us, we're better off dead.
Looking at the Judas in us all in the mirror,
Death shall become us.

[Verse 2 - Farma G]
I fear we're dead with no fight left.
God sent us angels and we clipped there wings,
Like we have no sense.
With science we murdered the mysteries,
And hid in the comfort of our man made luxuries.
We lie in our books, we lie like the elders,
Written by a pen, with greed as it's held up.
Right through the ages we don't need any sage or prophets,
Cause today we make our own way.
We paid for mistakes with an appologies face,
Man don't need faith, cause they got champagne.
And that's sham and pain, all mixed in a glass,
This world's gone mad, should I cry or laugh?
As my energy's low I wanna let it all blow,
As we walk on the moon, earth dies very slow.
She was stabbed and infected by the mess of mechanics.
And we're all gonna die when the rivers flow red,
And disease runs wild in ammoungst bloodshed.
Cause us stupid little humans and our very big heads,
Let go of the magic and every last breath,
And killed any chance of making progress.
This world and its people are better off dead.
This world and its people are better off dead.

-Hook-
Looking at the end and my eyes in the mirror,
Death shall become us, we're better off dead.
Looking at the Judas in us all in the mirror,
Death shall become us, we're better off dead.
Looking at the end and my eyes in the mirror,
Death shall become us, we're better off dead.
Looking at the Judas in us all in the mirror,
Death shall become us, we're better off dead.
Da na, we're better off dead.
Da na, we're better off dead.
Da na, we're better off dead.
Death shall become us, we're better off dead.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
