In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Forget about that guy,
Forget about the way you fell into his eyes,
Forget about about his charms,
Forget about the way he held you in his arms,
Walking on air's obnoxious.
The thrills, the chills will make you naucious.
And you'll never get enough,
Just forget about love.
Forget about romance,
Forget about the way your heart begins to dance.
Then you feel the blush,
When he's spouting out some sentimental mush.
Love really is revolting,
Its even worse than when you're molting.
Enough of this Fluff!
Just forget about love!
I had almost forgotten the way it felt,
When he held out his hand for mine...
My heart all a-flutter...
Oh, how i shudder!
The first time we kissed!
It won't be missed!
Forget about his touch.
I can't forget about his touch!
In the scheme of things it doesn't matter much.
It matters so much!
You're better on your own,
A meal becomes a banquet when you eat alone.
Loves filled with compromises,
And don't you hate those big surprises
A cozy rendezvous,
Oh please!
Candle-light for two.
Oh geez!
Look you're calling my bluff,
I can't forget about love.
Just forget about love!
I can't forget about my heart
(I can't forget about my heart)
And how it felt to fall for you right from the start
(I'm still falling)
Whatever we may do
(Whatever we may do)
You are here for me
And I'll be there for you
(And I'll be there to...)
To wish, To want, To wander
To find the sun though rain and thunder...
A cozy rendezvous,
Yes please!
Candle-light for two,
Oh geez!
Enough is enough,
We can't forget about love!
Forget about the way you fell into his eyes,
Forget about about his charms,
Forget about the way he held you in his arms,
Walking on air's obnoxious.
The thrills, the chills will make you naucious.
And you'll never get enough,
Just forget about love.
Forget about romance,
Forget about the way your heart begins to dance.
Then you feel the blush,
When he's spouting out some sentimental mush.
Love really is revolting,
Its even worse than when you're molting.
Enough of this Fluff!
Just forget about love!
I had almost forgotten the way it felt,
When he held out his hand for mine...
My heart all a-flutter...
Oh, how i shudder!
The first time we kissed!
It won't be missed!
Forget about his touch.
I can't forget about his touch!
In the scheme of things it doesn't matter much.
It matters so much!
You're better on your own,
A meal becomes a banquet when you eat alone.
Loves filled with compromises,
And don't you hate those big surprises
A cozy rendezvous,
Oh please!
Candle-light for two.
Oh geez!
Look you're calling my bluff,
I can't forget about love.
Just forget about love!
I can't forget about my heart
(I can't forget about my heart)
And how it felt to fall for you right from the start
(I'm still falling)
Whatever we may do
(Whatever we may do)
You are here for me
And I'll be there for you
(And I'll be there to...)
To wish, To want, To wander
To find the sun though rain and thunder...
A cozy rendezvous,
Yes please!
Candle-light for two,
Oh geez!
Enough is enough,
We can't forget about love!

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 is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Regarding your question - Aladdin #3, whatever the title of that was. King of Theives or something like that.
