In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Praise Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
(C'mon)
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him, my friend, 'cause He sits on high
He's the Lord God Almighty, so don't ask why
Just worship Him, adore Him and sing this praise
Ignite it, don't fight it, light it, leave it ablaze
Let it burn in your heart, stir in your soul
Proclaim honor to the Father as your lifelong goal
So sing Allelujah, let the word ring
Praise Him, voices raise Him as we worship the King
Praise Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
When we praise, we raise the mighty name of the King
We're born again, y'all, we got a song to sing
He died, He's our guide, we call Him Christ
A Man, a hill, a Cross and a price
The King of Kings, Rose of Sharon, the Savior of men
He's the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and End
The sure Lord of lords, the Creator on high
Praise Him, voices raisin' as it rings in the sky, c'mon
Praise Him
(Praise the Lord God Almighty, the Father of all)
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
(Lift up your voices like a trumpet for our Lord)
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise, let's raise the roof tonight
We're children of the Lord, we're soldiers of light
Rejoice, let's voice His name on high
For He has given all of us the gift of life
I say, praise
(Praise)

Praise Him
In one accord unto the Lord
(Unto the Lord)
(Praise Him)
Praise Him
Allelu, do the do and begin to rejoice
Sing aloud, y'all, make a joyful noise
Young David used to rave it when he played on his harp
He wrote the Psalms, a book of songs from His heart
Two thousand years later, still a craze to praise
Not a phase, stand amazed at the infinite blaze
It's eternal, that's a fact and I use rap
To bring glory mandatory 'cause the King will be back, c'mon
Praise Him
(Proclaim honor to the Father of man)
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
(Sing Hosanna to the King of all kings)
Praise Him
Voices raisin'

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
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."

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
