    Or really a jab at any pretentious artist, nastily digging at their intentionally bent truths and secret fears, at their real past, beneath all of the showmanship, as viewed through the eyes of someone who knows them well enough to see through it.

    This song is the ultimate anti #MeToo anthem as it responds to the artist Tracy Emin who had a string of underage relations with older men at 13. And is now trying to paint herself as the victim of child abuse groups. The title "Why you never became a dancer " is that Emin wanted to be a dancer and at her first performance three men with whom she had relations were sat in the front row. Hence why she never became a dancer.

    Song Fact

    lyrics: [Verse 1] Can I suggest you: Get fucked While you lie about child-molesting gropes And parkbench flashers and pervert creeps And anal virginity and polaroid snaps And verbal abuse and bathroom rapes I don't know how well you can: Remember your own pointless glue-sniffing adolescence That fumbling floppy sex In between fags Those pathetic fistfights All those pathetic petty thefts And this and that and this and that and this and that And every other fucking Adidas-clichéd cringe

    [Verse 2] Can I suggest you: Pose While you take another frantic glance at your shopwindow reflection Ensuring the stinking lie is maintained Because that's the difference between you Yes, that's the difference between you Yes, that's the difference between you You'll let a leering scumbag beerdrinking rat Raise your nostrils for a close-up smell Of fingertip nicotine and animal fat And force an open dead mouth Lap up ounces of semichem sweat So can you feel that: Would be a truly truly disgusting thing? You might also like We Didn’t Start The Fire Fall Out Boy Castles Crumbling (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Taylor Swift When Emma Falls in Love (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Taylor Swift [Chorus] And that's the difference between me I'll open the package I'll watch the show I'll enjoy perfectly well-made art I'll get in line behind stupidity I'll let you lie through your teeth I'll make you feel special I'll not pick out the mistakes in public I'll just put it down to passion And feigned memory lapse

    [Verse 3] What did you want to be when you grow up? Certainly not raped That's the difference between you A drunk? A drug addict A motherly protector of the young? Another bed-staining cunt? A child molestor that needs to be told? Or just a craven lust-driven artist Channelling confusion and fear Into a sickly limp repetitive craft Yes, that's the difference between you You'll act late and surprised You say you loved sex? You'll love being hated for the act The filthier the abuse and the desperate underage details The fatter the payback So rather than just listen Be altered by what's been said [Chorus] Now that's the difference between me I'll show you emotional truth I'll show you the fucking source I'll show you yet another fucking liar And this is for the you I'll show you that something that makes you: Feel different Feel special I'll give you: Thoughts Images Sounds I'll give the you something Even more interesting than the last one And I'll tell you why it's the best one yet And then you can look back on it all And say: This is the best thing that ever happened to me And see: Why you never became a dancer

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
