listen to me jesus this disease decieves us takes us for a flight than shoots us down we need some protection from this soul infection help us save our selfs before we drown
fight on fight on fight on fight on
fight on fight on fight on fight on fight (2x)

a little hit can take away my fears and make me feel a real man selling all i have to make me whole i can feel the fire fueling my desire medicate me now ive lost control


strung out again i dont know when im gonna quit this game
quit this game im a slave headin for the grave lost my name another number not a name

memories of my brothers resting six feet under guess they met their fate too young to die tears of grief and sadness turning into madness falling from thier faces mothers cry

strung out again i dont know when im gonna quit this game
quit this game im a slave headin for the grave lost my name and number and now i got it back

sick and tired of being sick and fuckin tired
heard the last shot fired walked the high wire
no desire left now that i accept
i aint nothin but a dope fiend
hangin by a rope seen a little bit of hope gotta cope
this aint no fuckin joke
cuz my next binge with the syringe might do me in
take me out down for the count
livin in a gang aint what im about motherfucker

i see you wasting away you look at me and see the same
why must we be normal and sane why must we live this life of pain

strung out again i dont know when im gonna quit this game
quit this game im a slave headin for the grave lost my name and number and now i got it back

    I don't think those lyrics are 100% accurate...but the song is mostly about dealing with all the stuff that happens in LA (the bands hometown), gang wars and such, and how sick of it all the lead singer is. It's a great song, the whole CD is really good, pick it up.

    Have you ever even heard this song?

    It's obviously about drugs.

    These are the lyrics to the demo version of the song which greatly differ from the studio release.

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
