This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My, my what a mess we've made
Of our pretty little heads these days
It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
My, my what a mess was made of my head
When I heard what you'd been through that day
It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently
Letters meant to be sent have been torn
The phone lies off the hook, on the floor
All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless,
I fucked this one up long ago
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
The blaming myself had to come to an end
So I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
You won't catch me behind the wheel
Of a Chrysler ever again
My, my what a mess we've made
Of our precious little lives these days
It appears a big fucking tornado
Has twisted us up recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
The blaming myself had to come to an end
So I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
You won't catch me behind the wheel
Of a Chrysler ever again
Of our pretty little heads these days
It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
My, my what a mess was made of my head
When I heard what you'd been through that day
It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently
Letters meant to be sent have been torn
The phone lies off the hook, on the floor
All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless,
I fucked this one up long ago
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
The blaming myself had to come to an end
So I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
You won't catch me behind the wheel
Of a Chrysler ever again
My, my what a mess we've made
Of our precious little lives these days
It appears a big fucking tornado
Has twisted us up recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
The blaming myself had to come to an end
So I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
You won't catch me behind the wheel
Of a Chrysler ever again

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
i live in a town called aurora.. yeah.. you can guess why i like this song so much.
They are singing about a town named Aurora, IL. Dan Andriano had a friend who died in a car accident in the town of aurora, he was driving a Chrysler...hence the line "You wont catch me behind the wheel of a Chrysler ever again." In the song it goes onto explain how Dan went onto drink heavily blaming himself for the accident. I am confused about the line "And although it's all my fault, the blaming myself had to come to an end".? I am thinking maybe the friend was drunk when he crashed and perhaps he called dan to pick him up but Dan didn't,so he drove drunk, hence why Dan felt guilty?<br />
actually, nsdjoe was right. this song is about aurora, illinois - a suburb of chicago. i live right by there and this is about the car accident that happened there that killed one of his friends. meh, i guess you could've just read what nsdjoe said... =)
It's pretty cool when he gets to the chorus, it's a little too slow for my liking, still a good song, no idea what it's about. :crazy:
I'm still thinking about this song, because there is Aurora, CO. (And probably other places named Aurora too.) There's also an Oldsmobile Aurora. It's funny because I was listening to this song quite a while ago, trying to think about what Aurora meant. I was driving my car, and I looked up and right in front of me a car said "aurora" on the back and it just hit me. So, I'm not sure if they're talking about a town or possibly a car. Like maybe a car crash... you took my only friend.. you won't catch me behind the wheel of a chrysler ever again...
That's one line of the song. Aurora, IL is called "The city of lights" I'm not sure how crowded the bars really are but it's a big city so I would assume so.
@brokenhearted The song is about Aurora, Illinois, which is not all that far from McHenry, IL, hometown of Matt Skiba. From what I've read, a childhood friend of Matt Skiba moved from McHenry to Aurora and this upset Matt in a way. I actually lived in Aurora for a while in the 1990s, and we left about three years before this song was released.
Aurora is also a girls name. I always went back and forth between thinking it was a person and a car, but the way that he uses the second person, saying things like "All your lonely nights" and "you have to be the cutest gravedigger i've ever seen" leads me to think it's about a person, but I can't be sure of that. My freinds and I often discuss this but can never really come up with a real answer.
I think this song is funny just because my cousin's name is Aurora. Other than that its a sad song
actually, nsdjoe was right. this song is about aurora, illinois - a suburb of chicago. i live right by there and this is about the car accident that happened there that killed one of his friends. meh, i guess you could've just read what nsdjoe said... =)
But why is it his fault? That his friend got killed by a driver in this town of Aurora?
Well it could be his fault for a variety of reasons. The guy was shit-faced and took the guy's car and crashed and died and the guy is saying "it's my fault, I never should've let you take my car". He doesn't want to drive a Chrysler because it will remind him of his 'mistake' and he hates the town because that's where his friend died.
Besides this, this is a kick-ass song. Again, awesome lyrics. I love AT.
umm...aurora is a thing in the sky...and a car...and a girl's name...and a foo fighters song... wwweeiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrdddddddddddd...
