This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
He lives his life in a world full of women
And he takes what he wants
from their love
And he throws the rest away
I cling to him and pray
But still he slips away
And now it's just too late
To wish him back again
She won't put up with this life
so she leaves him
And she finds someone else,
falls in love
And she travels far away
I say that it's okay
And swallow all my pain
And now it's just too late
To wish her back again
They left me here on my own
in a nightmare
And I just can't forgive anymore
So I smile and turn away
Don't listen when they say
They wish I could stay
And now it's just too late
To wish me back again
And he takes what he wants
from their love
And he throws the rest away
I cling to him and pray
But still he slips away
And now it's just too late
To wish him back again
She won't put up with this life
so she leaves him
And she finds someone else,
falls in love
And she travels far away
I say that it's okay
And swallow all my pain
And now it's just too late
To wish her back again
They left me here on my own
in a nightmare
And I just can't forgive anymore
So I smile and turn away
Don't listen when they say
They wish I could stay
And now it's just too late
To wish me back again

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 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 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.
I read an interview with Lush back when this album came out in the NME, and Miki explained the man in this song is her absent father. The woman who moves far away is her mother, I believe that she ended up living with her grandmother who she didn't get on with as a result of their abandonment. Hence "They left me here on my own in a nightmare".
the song is sooo melanchollie that s what i felt at first time i met with it. i cant help loving it. but what im wondering is why the comments so few. is LUSH forgotten? they re reallly an amusing band in the filed of shoegazing.
i love the days when i was with their music. they kept the memories alive with the faces that would never come again and the happy times that we shared and it was me alone thinking about it now...
i agree...why so little comments on the lush site? i adore this band. i had the band at my wedding 9 years ago learn "lovelife" they actually did a ok job of it and my wife was very surprised i did that. this song is wonderful..very sad though like alot of mikki's lyrics tend to be. i heard there was alot of rumors about mikki and emma...so im wondering if this about emma? either way she is very sad. seems the guy takes what he wants from women and toss's the rest to the side. she still loves him anyway..i guess...i misss lush
Miki wrote a memoir recently, and to add to dizietsma's comment, this song is her life story up to her adolescence. The book sets it all out in great detail, and it's worth reading if your're a big Lush fan. But it's also just masterful songwriting - would you be able to condense your own life to date into three short stanzas? Because that's what Miki does here - requiring great humility and dispassion to do so, leaving only the absolute bare essentials in, disregarding all the things that seem important to you, and resisting the urge to explain. At the end it's really compelling as a story for a listener, even though it's actually deeply personal and specific.
Beautifully composed and performed, this delicate tune has a heavy meaning. This woman loves her man, but she just can't keep him. He slips away and lives with the pain because she can't imagine being anywhere else.
It's a situation I was once in, so I can definitely feel the pain radiating out of this song straight into my heart. One of my favorite songs, period.
