It is returning through the dark
Doctor, you have met your mark
Your song is ending, sir, don’t cry
When you hear him knock four times

You’re going to regenerate
Some new man saunters away
No time for games, tonight we fight
For the fate of all mankind

I could do so much more

The time lords returning, the earth will be burning
The last white point star is a trap for the master

The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying

I don’t want to go
I don’t want to go

Wilfred will be by your side
You will always save his life
Hold on now, not long to wait
Till they bring back Gallifrey

I’ll sing you to your sleep

The time lords returning, the earth will be burning
The last white point star is a trap for the master

The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying

I don’t want to go
I don’t want to go

Just one more thing before you fall
You’ll be getting your reward
Back in time for those you know
Martha, Donna, Jack and Rose

The time lords returning, the earth will be burning
The last white point star is a trap for the master

The time lords returning, the earth will be burning
The last white point star is a trap for the master

The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying
The doctor is dying

And I don’t want to go
I don’t want to go

    I love this song so much. Just all about everything leading up to David's regeneration into Matt, including his [David's] encounters with the Master and how he was willing to do it all for the people he loved and cared for.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."
