This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She was a January girl
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kinda scary house
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
Black-dove black-dove
You're not a helicopter
You're not a cop out either
Black-dove black-dove
You don't need a space ship
They don't know you've already lived
On the other side of the galaxy
She had a January world
So many storms not right somehow
How a lion becomes a mouse
By the woods
But I have to get to texas
Said I have to get to texas
And I'll give away my blue blue dress
She had a January girl
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kinda scary house
By the woods
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kinda scary house
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
Black-dove black-dove
You're not a helicopter
You're not a cop out either
Black-dove black-dove
You don't need a space ship
They don't know you've already lived
On the other side of the galaxy
She had a January world
So many storms not right somehow
How a lion becomes a mouse
By the woods
But I have to get to texas
Said I have to get to texas
And I'll give away my blue blue dress
She had a January girl
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kinda scary house
By the woods

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."
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
I love that she's read "Steppenwolf" by Herman Hesse! I'm 17 right now, but I was 15 when I read that book, and it was possibly the only thing that kept me going after my suicide attempt. Just reading about someone's loneliness got me through so much bullshit. If there's one thing that I love about myself, it's that I actually enjoy reading. Being a loner kind of gives you time to do that. I mean...there's pros and cons, but for the most part, I'm grateful. I would never give up being able to read "Steppenwolf" lol. It's weird how connected I felt to a fictional middle-aged man's experiences :D
I was going to comment on the song but my whole theory about a girl escaping her painful home life has already been voiced. I'm in total agreement.
I love the line about it not being a cop-out. Running away from a dangerous, emotionally and/or physically abusive situation is not the easy way out. Sometimes it's the only way out, and nobody should feel guilty, cowardly, or weak for taking it.
I also love this line: "You don't need a space ship. They don't know you've already lived on the other side of the galaxy."
It just speaks to the outsider status you find yourself in when you're carrying around a secret like that. If all your life you've dealt with things that nobody could imagine. You're immediately set apart and alone. On another planet.
God this song is fantastic. I have the unpopular opinion of not really liking Tori's previous album, "Boys for Pele," but this one made up for it times ten.
@Aquarius121 This song really spoke to me when I felt so so alone as a 15 year old, carrying around that kind of secret, you're so right, it does leave you on another planet... you wrote this comment ages ago, but just wanted to say I hope your life has taken you to much sweeter places than it did in your teens <3
@Aquarius121 This song really spoke to me when I felt so so alone as a 15 year old, carrying around that kind of secret, you're so right, it does leave you on another planet... you wrote this comment ages ago, but I relate so deeply with your comment that I just wanted to say I hope your life has taken you to much sweeter places than it did in your teens <3
