This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You can't see me peering through my glasses
You've been staring much too long
She walked away she walked away
Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade
The first time I met you, fell sight of stars
and the fire flies on dusty shoes and injured knees,
you turned and walked away
Subtract the bottom, add fractions on sleepy afternoons,
take one and pass them backwards,
you smiled and walked away
You can't see me peering through my glasses
You've been staring much too long
She walked away, you walked away
Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade
Sharing driveways with ? fence and your old escape
Next doors neighbors, backseat drivers, driving friends forever
4 months and 6 years later stroll through the ends of an empty hall
Contacters question now that we belong to separate crowds
In the hallway after school, I tried to play it cool
And you fell behind your friends
Something made me move
But my movement was too late as I slipped and hit the floor
When you helped me to my feet
Your face made me believe
You can't see me peering through my glasses
You've been staring much too long
She walked away she walked away
Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade
In the hallway after school, I tried to play it cool
And you fell behind your friends
Something made me move
But my movements were alone
You turned and walked away
Now I find myself alone singing songs and writing blues
And as the coronation starts I see you at promenade
You can't see me peering through my glasses
You've been staring much too long
She walked away she walked away
Try to think of a better way to let you do the promenade
You've been staring much too long
She walked away she walked away
Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade
The first time I met you, fell sight of stars
and the fire flies on dusty shoes and injured knees,
you turned and walked away
Subtract the bottom, add fractions on sleepy afternoons,
take one and pass them backwards,
you smiled and walked away
You can't see me peering through my glasses
You've been staring much too long
She walked away, you walked away
Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade
Sharing driveways with ? fence and your old escape
Next doors neighbors, backseat drivers, driving friends forever
4 months and 6 years later stroll through the ends of an empty hall
Contacters question now that we belong to separate crowds
In the hallway after school, I tried to play it cool
And you fell behind your friends
Something made me move
But my movement was too late as I slipped and hit the floor
When you helped me to my feet
Your face made me believe
You can't see me peering through my glasses
You've been staring much too long
She walked away she walked away
Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade
In the hallway after school, I tried to play it cool
And you fell behind your friends
Something made me move
But my movements were alone
You turned and walked away
Now I find myself alone singing songs and writing blues
And as the coronation starts I see you at promenade
You can't see me peering through my glasses
You've been staring much too long
She walked away she walked away
Try to think of a better way to let you do the promenade

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."

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.
