I cashed in all my chips tonight,
combed my hair to look just right
Cause I been thinkin bout you and me girl
and we got somethin' goin' on
You told me you can't wait to see me
and you didn't bother to even show up
This whole situations incredibly typical

I shoulda seen it all along
I shoulda seen it all along
I shoulda seen it all along
It's girls like you that make me think I'm better off
home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby

Call me on the phone
but you don't even want to talk
you're staring at me from across the room
but turn your back when I walk up
we got inches away
and I never even got close
leave your lipstick at home,
don't pick up the phone,
don't bother to look in my direction

I shoulda seen it all along
I shoulda seen it all along
It's girls like you that make me think I'm better off
home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby
Home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby

Forget everything you think you know about me
This isn't highschool(8x)
(forget everything you think you know about me)

I'm better off home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby
(forget everything you think you know about me)
Home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby

(forget everything you think you know about me)

Home on a saturday night (this isn't high school)
with all my doors locked up tight (this isn't high school)
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby (this isn't high school)

(forget everything you think you know about me)

Home on a saturday night (this isn't high school)
with all my doors locked up tight (this isn't high school)
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby (this isn't high school)

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
