This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well, remember the guy who was a football star
he had it made with the ladies, but he never got far
Five years past, now he's gotten kinda fat
Working eight days a week at the laundromat
With his mama and his daddy breathing down his neck
About everything he does so much, it makes him sick
So he sits home alone, with the game on TV
As the crowd goes wild, he said "that coulda been me"
Just another day in suburbia
It's a beautiful day in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Remember playing game's at the rich kid's home
His dad owned a bank, while his mom was alone
Everyday with the mailman, the trashman, the lawn guy
Kid didn't look a damn thing like his dad (I knew why)
He grew up, got a job, making 80 grand a year
Had a wife and a kid all the guys called a queer
But his dad never knew, he was too blind to see
Guess it kinda ran in the family
Just another day in suburbia
It's a beautiful day in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Remember the girl down the street with the kids
That used to come outside, but she never did
'Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her
'Cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater
He came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
But he didn't see the .44 stuffed in the covers
So she waited till he came as he lie there naked
Before she blew his head off, she told him she'd been faking all along
So long for everything you done wrong
Here's a bullet, go to hell, 'cause it's where you belong
Just another day in suburbia
It's a beautiful day in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in suburbia
Yeah, this is how we're livin' in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
No one understands it
No one comprehends it
Guess you had to be there
From the outside looking in
So I put my Outkast record on
Turn up the volume, 'cause I'm all alone
And scream away...
Remember the cutest couple in the world?
He was a punk and she was daddy's little girl
Graduation came, and she wanted him to stay
But he had bigger, better dreams waiting out in L.A.
She cried and he cred as the plane flew away
She never ever wanted it to end this way
Two years later, she reads in the news
He'd gone on to be a big star, but nobody knew
'Cause he changed up his name, but his heart stayed the same
'Cause every song he wrote was about her, he claimed
But he never got to tell her, 'cause he died that year
From all of the coke and pills and the beer
And the whole world cried, but just for one day
'Cause sooner or later the pain goes away
Just another day in suburbia
It's a beautiful day in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in suburbia
Yeah, this is how we're livin' in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
he had it made with the ladies, but he never got far

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."
