Sensitive heart, you're doomed from the start
Meant to play the penitent part
Inquisitive mind, you're destined to find
Tempted fate and knowledge divine
View in there a pitied pair
Denoted by a scene unfair
Will you make my children bear
The consequences everywhere?
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh
View in there a pitied pair
Denoted by a scene unfair
Will you make my children bear
The consequences everywhere?
Imminent you seem to be
A picture of fragility
What is it that you think of me?
Is it a woman that you see?
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
Meant to play the penitent part
Inquisitive mind, you're destined to find
Tempted fate and knowledge divine
View in there a pitied pair
Denoted by a scene unfair
Will you make my children bear
The consequences everywhere?
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh
View in there a pitied pair
Denoted by a scene unfair
Will you make my children bear
The consequences everywhere?
Imminent you seem to be
A picture of fragility
What is it that you think of me?
Is it a woman that you see?
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is a critique of Genesis, as stated before me.
In essence, she's saying, "God, it's not our fault for being sensitive and inquisitive, that's how we're wired. Why are you so punitive towards us anyway? Isn't it your fault as the designer? I'm skeptical about your power as a creator and your intentions. Our human nature ought to be celebrated not condemned. You are unfair."
Alaina dislikes the story obviously, finds it frustrating.
Clear examples of this frustration are: "[Adam and Eve] denoted by a scene unfair." "Sensitive heart... Doomed from the start." "Is it so hard to forgive [mankind]?" "Have you confused your power with mine?" "What is that you think of me? Do you see a woman?" "Imminent you seem to be a picture of fragility"
The severity of this critique leads me to believe Alaina is not a fan of this religion. Because of this severe critique of God and the Bible's story, this song functions as a criticism of religion as a whole by exposing it all as a farce based on badly designed stories fabricated by people who are pessimistic about human nature.
She finds religion frustrating because of these negative connotations regarding how humans are seen and judged by the creators of religion. It's also possible that she doubts that even the humans who invented the stories of the Bible had no conviction in these stories either; that Genesis seems so unfair that it was created by a people who's original intent was to more easily dominate the weaker class in society.
With a religion that claims humans are bad innately, you can justify the demand for salvation. With this demand you can control the masses by being the sole provider.
Philosophically, she challenges the concept of God. If he's all powerful and all benevolent, why does he put his creations in such unfair circumstances? Is he actually weak and fragile? Does he even exist?
