This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Don't take another day away from me
Cause I don't got many as it stands
Here on the rooftop screaming like the world stopped
Another cigarette for both of us hold my hand
I'll take us both to the top of the world if I can
Cause mama it's ok, tonight I'm going to sing with Elvis
And we will sing, a couple songs just for your ears so sing along and hey
If I go down in the quicksand don't grab my hand
Just play me as loud as you can
Cause tonight I singing with
And daddy's sitting in the corner with Cash when Mr. Moon picks up the beat
I hear the sound of someone warming the Strat while they wait for me
And Freddie says that I can stay, that I don't have to be afraid this time
The angels filling up the place and Carly's walking she's the first in line
Cause mama it's ok, tonight I'm going to sing with Elvis
And we will sing, a couple songs just for your ears so sing along and hey
If I go down in the quicksand don't grab my hand
Just play me as loud as you can
Cause tonight I singing with
Remember the days we thought we were golden and that all these nights were ours
Remember my face, remember the rooftops
Do you remember the stage, when all of it's broken not to show your favorite scars
A smile on your face, we'll count only our stars
Cause mama it's OK, tonight I'm going to sing with Elvis
And we will sing, a couple songs just for your ears so sing along and hey
If I go down in the quicksand don't grab my hand
Just play me as loud as you can
Cause tonight I singing with
Cause I don't got many as it stands
Here on the rooftop screaming like the world stopped
Another cigarette for both of us hold my hand
I'll take us both to the top of the world if I can
Cause mama it's ok, tonight I'm going to sing with Elvis
And we will sing, a couple songs just for your ears so sing along and hey
If I go down in the quicksand don't grab my hand
Just play me as loud as you can
Cause tonight I singing with
And daddy's sitting in the corner with Cash when Mr. Moon picks up the beat

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.

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
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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
"ere's something really cool that I found out about the song when I first heard it.
In the lyrics I heard "The angels filling up the place and Carly's walking she's the first in line". So I asked Steve, who's Carly? I knew the others Moon, Cash, Freddie were musicians but didn't know who she was.
Steve told me she's Carly Driscoll and she was a friend and fan of the band.
I thought, wait why is she among the angels filling up the place? So of course I googled her and found out that she had suffered from cancer and ended up passing away September 9, 2010.
Carly Driscoll, 1991-2010: Music helped her 'hope and cope' with ra... Carly Anne Driscoll Obituary
For me it added a lot to the song. Putting an actual person to that name made it much more emotional. I actually got the chills the first time I heard the song again after I found all this new information out.
Maybe it'll do the same for you now that you know who Carly is too."
Quoted from James Kopacz, brother of Drummer Steve Kopacz. original post can be seen on the Go Radio Forums wearegoradio.com
It's cool that you found this. I was wondering who Carly was the first time I heard the song. Putting a story to the name definitely makes it more emotional. Every time I hear the line about Carly it makes me think of one of my friends who died from getting the flu two years ago, 2 months before he turned 16. It makes this song much more emotional and personal for me.
It was on the go radio forums, I'm one of the more active members, it's cool cause when they're not on tour or in the studio their Drummer Steve Kopacz is on all the time, ad he's even been on a few times while they're out on tour
Yeah I'm a member on there but I'm not super active on the forums, I read stuff sometimes but I have a feeling I'm gonna become more active on there in the near future. The new album sounds awesome and I'm stoked to get it tomorrow.
I googled it too ,and reading about her definitely emphasises the emotion and meaning of this amazing song! <br /> legacy.com/obituaries/timesunion/obituary.aspx
