I'll qualify this circumstance,
Broadcast, renew this chance.
Pin hope on this promise.
Graduate to this settled score.
Projects through mansion doors.
Stand up, dust yourself off.
It's troubled now by swelling tide,
Bleached hope and sandstone lies.
You're dazed in the moment.

This time I'll get it right.
You can't defend it, it's predetermined.

You know I'll sit at the bottom space,
Trace lines in the vacant space.
It's all about to change.
Small flat in a smaller town,
Steal hope to pass around.
You're caught up in the memory.

These shores aren't out of reach.

    No idea here? Anyone got a clue? The only thing I can think of is predestination is the belief of sum prodestants that god has planned if you are going to heaven or hell before you are even born. Anyone play off of that?

    This is a long shot, but I reckon it could be about Sparta themselves. EG. They got it wrong [well, not in my mind] with ATD-I, but this time, with this new band, they're gonna get it right. That seems fairly obvious to me. I could be wrong. Oh yeah, this song is incredible live - it rocks sooooo much. Peace Out.

    Holy shit dude, you are very right about starting over again. Totally right im 100% sure. About the new band, could be, I don't actually know the story about what really happened, grand royal folded and then i dunno. But this song could also just be the mold for something to fit into any situation where you start over. Music is always personal to everyone. Damn they are great, ATD-I friggin rocked. Sparta will rock now. Scratch my last post, you convinced me

    Yikes, this song is mad ill. I'm gonna miss that raw punk sound, but this makes up for it. I don't know if these guys got any beef or any thing, but the song sounds like their leaving all the stumbling blocks behind (including Omar and Cedric)and continueing to mature.

    i think the entire AUSTERE EP is about starting over fresh and being like "hey, we can play music no matter what band we are in, without any crap pulling us down, we wont screw up". well, thats how i take it. ALSO, i believe, i could be wrong, that Cedric and Jim had several conflict about the whole ATDI thing...like Jim is who called the 6-month rule after they played a show in Germany(?)...then their van crashed...so it was all sort of building up and whatnot. So, to make a point now, I think Jim, Tony and Paul are kinda telling not just Cedric and Omar, but everyone who doubted them "this time i'll get it right". Thats just how i think it is...

    Sparta is fantastic. It is a shame that ATD-I broke up.. but all good things must come to an end sometime. But I have a feeling that Sparta will be around for a long time and make the best out of each moment they have. I personally like Sparta over Mars Volta.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
