Alone again again alone
Patiently waiting by the phone
Hoping that you will call me home
The pain inside my love denied
Hopes and dreams swallowed by pride
Everything I need it lies in you

'Cause I'm broken
I know I need you now
'Cause deep inside I'm broken
You see the way I live
I know I know your heart is broken
When I turn away
I need to be broken
Take the pain away

I question why you chose to die
When you knew your truth I would deny
You look at me
The tears begin to fall
And all in all faith is blind
But I fail time after time
Daily in my sin I take your life

All the hate deep inside
Slowly covering my eyes
All these things I hide
Away from you again
All this fear holding me
My heart is cold and I believe
Nothings gonna change
Until I'm whole again

    Yeah who cares about the popularity of it all? At the end of thed ay its all about what you feel about the music...not what anyone else feels or thinks. It probably will be really big but wont stop me liking it.Im just a little bit worried bout the assholes eho will just dismiss it as the "next trendy shit", that seriously bugs me.

    I agree with everyone who says that 12 Stones is Christain ... they are! If you look in the sleeve of the cd, in the thank you section, each member except one specifically thanks God and Jesus Christ and some detail, the lead guitarist even throws in a verse from the Bible (Phillipians 4:13). If you look at the lyrics for each and every single song, each time there is a "you" it can very easily be seen as directed towards God. About the "hell" at the end of the video "Broken" ... here's an interesting interpretation of the video ... the hotel that the lead singer is running through and checking all of the doors, the hotel is like our heart ... some doors we try to lock and behind them are sins that we try to hide and not let God see (although He does). That old guy at the end is like the devil and saying hell is symbolic of that. I know it sounds like a compromise, but on a symbolic level it's not. I think probably one of the best things for Christian bands that are considered secular is for them to not overwhlem the people and slam everyone over the head with Christianity ... God does not do that and neither does the Holy Spirit, although some people do take it too far (the worst thing a professed Christian can do) and tell everyone that they're going to hell. Doing this allows the Word to be spoken everywhere it can before people reject it before hearing it. As for POD playing on Ozzfest and going on Howard Stern, that's a great out reach for them!! Jesus didn't "hang out" with his disciples constantly ... he ate at the houses of people that the town considered "sinners." Jesus came to seek and save those who were lost, the essence of Christianity, and Christians are called to do the same thing (Matthew 28:16-20). So, I don't know how to end this ... 12 Stones is Christian, and they have a great ministry by not trying to bash everyone over the head with Christianity. God bless you all! -no_necklace

    This band is definetaly the next "pop" rock group... Gonna be just like Linkin Park, love the songs when they come out, but after it hits the top 10 charts and becomes overplayed, you're gonna hate it.

    This song isn't gonna go into pop. They have too much power for that. This song explodes and would scare any teeny bopper that got near it.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
