This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I was lost now I'm found,
I'm sustained by the sound,
Of the angels singing me to sleep,
While my feet are leaving the ground,
Am I dead? Or am I dreaming instead?
A cornucopia of opiates have flooded my head
I'm insane, I am smart,
All it takes, is a spark, to ignite my bad intentions,
And do what I do best to your heart,
Don't be fooled I was raised by the wolves,
Now the moon hangs in full, so you know I won't play by the rules
I will never spill
(spill my blood for you)
You have let me down
(one too many times)
Someway somehow, we've fallen out,
Caught in between my enemies,
No way not now, I won't back down,
I draw the line at you and me,
Your what I started, now disregarded,
One day they'll see, it was always me
Due to mistakes, I have made to the state,
I am trapped inside a Dillinger,
Diligently thinking of ways to get out of this god awful place,
I have learned that my fate is something I can't escape so,
Sound the alarm, what I've said from the start,
Is ill never let your system break me down or tear me apart,
Don't be fooled I was raised by the wolves,
Now the moon hangs in full so you know I won't
Play by the rules
I will never spill
(spill my blood for you)
You have let me down
(one too many times)
Someway somehow, we've fallen out,
Caught in between my enemies,
No way not now, I won't back down,
I draw the line at you and me,
Your what I started, now disregarded,
One day they'll see, it was always me
Oh, this is the end of you
This is where I draw the line
And I won't lose
This war is mine
Oh
Spill my blood for you
One too many times
Someway somehow, we've fallen out,
Caught in between my enemies,
No way not now, I won't back down,
I draw the line at you and me,
Your what I started, now disregarded,
One day they'll see, it was always me.
One day they'll see,
It was always me
It was always me
I'm sustained by the sound,
Of the angels singing me to sleep,
While my feet are leaving the ground,
Am I dead? Or am I dreaming instead?
A cornucopia of opiates have flooded my head
I'm insane, I am smart,
All it takes, is a spark, to ignite my bad intentions,
And do what I do best to your heart,
Don't be fooled I was raised by the wolves,
Now the moon hangs in full, so you know I won't play by the rules
I will never spill
(spill my blood for you)
You have let me down
(one too many times)
Someway somehow, we've fallen out,
Caught in between my enemies,
No way not now, I won't back down,
I draw the line at you and me,
Your what I started, now disregarded,
One day they'll see, it was always me
Due to mistakes, I have made to the state,
I am trapped inside a Dillinger,
Diligently thinking of ways to get out of this god awful place,
I have learned that my fate is something I can't escape so,
Sound the alarm, what I've said from the start,
Is ill never let your system break me down or tear me apart,
Don't be fooled I was raised by the wolves,
Now the moon hangs in full so you know I won't
Play by the rules
I will never spill
(spill my blood for you)
You have let me down
(one too many times)
Someway somehow, we've fallen out,
Caught in between my enemies,
No way not now, I won't back down,
I draw the line at you and me,
Your what I started, now disregarded,
One day they'll see, it was always me
Oh, this is the end of you
This is where I draw the line
And I won't lose
This war is mine
Oh
Spill my blood for you
One too many times
Someway somehow, we've fallen out,
Caught in between my enemies,
No way not now, I won't back down,
I draw the line at you and me,
Your what I started, now disregarded,
One day they'll see, it was always me.
One day they'll see,
It was always me
It was always me

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.
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
One day they'll see, it was only me"
This line shows that Escape the Fate was only good because of Ronnie
"I draw the line between you and me"
This shows that Ronnie is drawing the line between ETF
"Your what I started, know what i disregarded"
This shows that he started with them but quite
"I was lost, i was bound, i was stained, i was bound, while the angels sing me to sleep" This shows about him in prison
"This war is mine" Hes making fun of ETF
The wolves are ETF
"This shows that he started with them but quite" QUITE? do you mean Quit? If so he didn't quit.. If you think he quit get your facts straight. He got in a fight and Max came along.. Max brought a gun to the fight and blamed the whole thing on Ronnie... When he went to prison ETF kicked him out beacuse they wanted to make music while he was in prison.
"This war is mine" Hes making fun of ETF<br /> <br /> <br /> Technically he's not making fun of ETF, The whole time Ronnie was out of ETF, There was a "war" waged between them, Now that Ronnies out, He's claiming the war is his as if hes going to take over the scene and shut ETF out.
i always thought when he said he was raised by wolves i thought it meant he's not gunna give in and he's gunna fight back against ETF
I think the line "This war is mine" is a play on words on their song "This War Is Ours"
I think the line "This war is mine" is a play on words on their song "This War Is Ours"
Chanley74, you need to get your facts straight. It was Chase Rader, one of Ronnie's friends, that fired the gun. Max's blame is that the guys ronnie was fighting were originally after him but ronnie stepped in. Ronnie was also arrested for parole violations . get ur shit straight before telling someone else to get theres straight.
