Wester

AFI

I can feel you waitin' for me
When the sun retreats to the hills and I
Below the blanket of a burnin' sky
Wrap myself within

Embraced by dead leaves as the rain leaves
Trails of black down my face, and I
Creep through the twilight to that hidden place
Beyond the lonely

I'll meet you, tonight in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us now

Well, I can feel you dreamin' of me
And the time when our steps are retraced and I
Creep through the twilight to that hidden place
Beyond the lonely

I'll meet you, tonight in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us now

Tonight in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us

Well, I can feel you dreamin' of me
Well, I can feel you dreamin'
Well, I can feel you dreamin' of me
Beneath a dream, beneath a dream

Well, I can feel you dreamin' of me
Well, I can feel you dreamin'
Well, I can feel you dreamin' of me
Lost in a dream, lost in a dream

Tonight, in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us now

Tonight, in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us

    I dont think the 'smile' is in there. Just a groan. And what are the backing vocals in the breakdown? One of the things that makes AFI special to me and takes them apart from other bands is the way they use backing - even if its just 'ooohhh' like in Days of the Pheonix.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
