This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We are the desperate ones looking for the mark
We are the lonely ones left out here in the dark
We bought our tickets but we don't have a seat
And now we are just slaves to the beat
We are the tired ones tired of too much sleep
Tired of searching for the words we cant repeat
Don't mean to scare you but its getting too warm
I think I'm gonna move to the door
We are burning
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We where promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape
Oh oh oh oh
Gather around my friends
Lets try not to pretend
There is a war between the cold out there and the fire with in
I know that were alive I know that we can die
Right into the thick of it
We are burning
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We where promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape
I don't wanna fill my body
With drugs I cant even name
I'm tired of feeling the same
I wanna feel something
We are burning
This is real
We on fire don't you feel
We where made to be more than inches away
We are burning
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We where promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape
We are the lonely ones left out here in the dark
We bought our tickets but we don't have a seat
And now we are just slaves to the beat
We are the tired ones tired of too much sleep
Tired of searching for the words we cant repeat
Don't mean to scare you but its getting too warm
I think I'm gonna move to the door
We are burning
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We where promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape
Oh oh oh oh
Gather around my friends
Lets try not to pretend
There is a war between the cold out there and the fire with in
I know that were alive I know that we can die
Right into the thick of it
We are burning
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We where promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape
I don't wanna fill my body
With drugs I cant even name
I'm tired of feeling the same
I wanna feel something
We are burning
This is real
We on fire don't you feel
We where made to be more than inches away
We are burning
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We where promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is probably reaching, but to me this reads as a generational screed. There's an entire generation of young people (mostly Generation-Y) who are discontent. They were promised a future filled with promise and hope and, despite these promised and despite being ambitions, have found their opportunities severely curtailed. They're now being told to be happier with less than what previous generations have, after having been raised to expect to do better (in the manner of previous generations).
This generation is also far more medicated than its predecessors; the discontent and ennui of life is being treated with psychoactive medications. If the members of this generation aren't happy, it's blamed on chemicals, not on the world around them. The unhappy are medicated into a state of numbness because to treat the underlying problem (inequities in society) would require acknowledging that these problems exist.
So what's this result in? People in this generation stop caring about ambition, stop caring about doing better, and stop caring about doing anything else but sate their own transitory entertainment needs. Except that this isn't really a solution, and they need to break free of this trap if they're ever going to have a hope of taking things back (rather than ending up as a nouveau lost generation).
However, I'm probably wrong. It's probably about a quarter-life crisis or something.
