This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Ask me a question I'll tell you all I know you ask for my advice
And then you take a different road you traveled oh so far left everyone
Who cared far behind left us all behind How could I ever saved
You the only thing I'd ever done was cared How could I have ever
Blamed you You never promised that you would always be there I'll
Never know what you were thinking on that night you saw him on the
Road and took the angel for a ride He gave you confidence as you
Yearned for your own praise then took your soul away Take a different
Road take a chance to know There's so much more than winning Take a
Different way wait another day Now it seems that it's too late and
And then you take a different road you traveled oh so far left everyone
Who cared far behind left us all behind How could I ever saved
You the only thing I'd ever done was cared How could I have ever
Blamed you You never promised that you would always be there I'll
Never know what you were thinking on that night you saw him on the
Road and took the angel for a ride He gave you confidence as you
Yearned for your own praise then took your soul away Take a different
Road take a chance to know There's so much more than winning Take a
Different way wait another day Now it seems that it's too late and

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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
people..i live all the way accross pacific ocean. i wonder y dont u guys listen to their whole album?ben, what a tune perfection! try this when u feel lonely n nothing to do. the next thing u know, u're head banging
^^ i love people who speak in broken english haha
I think this about his friend who is a girl (even though the name Ben??). But she asks for his advice and he tells her what he thinks, but she never follows it. And the routes she takes only lead to heartache. And he sees her always taking the easiest roads, but they're usually the worst. He cares about her, but he can't be mad that she left, cause she never said she would stay. Great lyrics.
only three entrys? I LOVE THIS SONG! It has so much power
Ben is one of my all time faves!
To me, this song is about a guy (Ben) who died in a car crush, and he was a friend of them...
yea if you look on the s/t it says in memory of Ben Thores(probly wong about the last name if someone could check) so im pretty sue it is about theyre friend who died, which makes the song so much more powerful
that's right! when you know that this song is "real" it makes you feel like... i don't know... it makes you feel funny.....it gets you heart......
This song... "How could I have ever saved you? The only thing I've ever done was cared" ~> this is like, he's been there for his friend all along; there was nothing else he could do.
"How could I have ever blamed you? You never promised that you would always be there." ~> This means that, he can't blame his friend for anything, the friend never promised him anything. It's such a good song.
I could be wrong but this verse seems to resemble a dude going out and trying drugs: I'll never know what you were thinking on that night You saw him on the road and took the angel for a ride He gave you confidence as you yearned for your own praise Then took your soul away
"and took the angel for a ride" Angel dust?
