I feel like I'm gonna drop real soon
My mind's hurting, I'm over the moon
Pulse is sagging, I'm losing pace
It's the way you feel and another way you taste

Rebel, rebel, I see you with a gun
If you gonna shoot, then I'm glad I'm the one
'cause it's the way you, hmm it's on the tip of my tongue
It's the way you chase and away I run

Bang bang bang bang
She points her finger at me
Pulls the trigger and I bleed
Now the argumental thing
Run baby as fast as you can 'cause you're not the man
Nah you wouldn't understand
I love the way she moves and plays
I want her dancing on my grave

Look past the trouble, now look past the gun
Pull me past, now pull me beyond
Watch you to the break of the day
My heart's a racing as I love the way

But if you need someone I'll give in
There's no need to pretend
My mamacita with her eyes looking at me
Like she never done wrong
Like you never done wrong

Bang bang bang bang
She points her finger at me
Pulls the trigger and I bleed
Now the argumental thing
Run baby as fast as you can 'cause you're not the man
But I just couldn't understand
I love the way she moves and plays
I want her dancing on my grave

Rebel rebel and a cold 45
Let's live the life, let's go out and jive
Let's leave town, let's leave town on the run
Go to california and burn in the sun

You gotta jive babe, come on and try babe
Drive it back and forth
You look so good I wouldn't lie
I need to hold you, come on and hold me
Oh I wouldn't mind if you the one and only baby

Keep it cool babe too cool for school babe
Jive it and a try it you don't have to make me buy it
You hurt my eyes babe give me a rise babe
Ever since the way you put the hurt I've been astray

Now bang bang bang babe you shot me dead babe
I love the way you play, I want you dancing on my grave
My mamacita, senorita na na na na na, na na na na na na na na

Shake it ah shake it ah, come on you gotta break it
Come on jive babe, come on and try babe
Drive it back and forth you look so good I wouldn't lie
I need to hold you come on and hold me
Oh I wouldn't mind if you the one and only baby

Keep it cool babe too cool for school babe
Jive it and a try it you don't have to make me buy it
You hurt my eyes babe give me a rise babe
Ever since the way you put the hurt I've been astray
Watcha I came to, since you are the one

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.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
