Juanita

Iron Maiden

Yeah, it cost me a bundle
Trying to track you down, it's true
Yeah, and it's the truth, girl
I'm looking from town to town for you
You know you never offered much security
You know I'm gonna get you back
You just wait and see

I'm never goin' back, Juanita
I know you never got my call
I'm never goin' back, Juanita
Never at all

Yeah, I'm spending a long time
Trying to work it out for true
Yeah, it's such small crime thirsting over you
Living in a Chelsea flat seems so lonely now
I don't know, I gotta get you back
I just don't know how

I'm never goin' back, Juanita
I know you didn't get my call
I'm never goin' back, Juanita
Never at all, yeah

I'm never goin' back, Juanita
Yeah, I'm never goin' back, Juanita
Never goin' back, Juanita
Never at all
Never, never at all
Never, never at all, hey

Yeah, I just got to tell you
I'm gonna leave it up to you
Yeah, yeah, what more can I say?
What more can, can I do?
Living in a Chelsea flat seems so lonely now
I just know I gotta get you back
I just don't know how

I'm never goin' down on Juanita, yeah
Never gonna make that call
I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Never at all, yeah, alright

I'm never goin' down on Juanita, sing it
Never gonna make that call
I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Two fingers at all, yeah
Hey, hey, hey

I'm never comin' back, Juanita
I'm never goin' down on you, Juanita
Never goin' back, Juanita
I'm never goin' back, Juanita
Never goin' back, Juanita
Never at all, all

    This song is so rad, I wish it was easier to find. Stupid B Sides. But anyhoo, simply enough, this song is about the conflicted relationship with Juanita. She's a drug. He wants to get rid of her and never see her again, but at the same time, he wants her so much.

    It is argueable that Juanita is marijuana (two fingers and all, holding a joint with two fingers), but I'm not clear on that one. To me she just seems to be the equivalent of KISS's Domino.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
