This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
"Doesn't look like they'll be closing down tonight..."
On your street of dreams what you see
Isn't always what you get
Life is not as dark as it may seem
You see your dream, it isn't over yet
I know the road you travel on
Has been so hard without a friend
You won't have to be alone for long
You turn to Him and the nightmare ends
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight
Just say your prayers and hold on tight
There's no time to sleep
There's so much at stake
And I kneel and pray
That you would stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Walking through your thoughts you see the fields
Of emotion set aflame
And you feel the hurt and you feel the heat
But get to your feet, 'cause here comes the rain
I know the pain you feel inside
Could make you fall and break your stride
Lift up your head and take a look above
And you'll see His hand reaching out with love
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight
Say your prayers and hold on tight
There's no time to sleep
There's so much at stake
And I kneel and pray
That you would stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Your young men will see visions
Your old men will dream dreams
When you walk, they will guide you
When you sleep, they will watch over you
And when you're awake, they will speak to you
(Come on!)
You always thought that a dream would be all you'd feel
Now it's time to wake up and make it real
To find eternal love was your only goal
Now there's someone reaching for your soul
You always thought that a dream was all you could give
There's a Man who died so your dreams could live
Sitting in the prison of your fear
Find yourself released as the Lord draws near
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight
Say your prayers and hold on tight
There's no time to sleep
There's so much at stake
And I kneel and pray
That you would stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
On your street of dreams what you see
Isn't always what you get
Life is not as dark as it may seem
You see your dream, it isn't over yet
I know the road you travel on
Has been so hard without a friend
You won't have to be alone for long
You turn to Him and the nightmare ends
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight
Just say your prayers and hold on tight
There's no time to sleep
There's so much at stake
And I kneel and pray
That you would stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Walking through your thoughts you see the fields
Of emotion set aflame
And you feel the hurt and you feel the heat
But get to your feet, 'cause here comes the rain
I know the pain you feel inside
Could make you fall and break your stride
Lift up your head and take a look above
And you'll see His hand reaching out with love
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight
Say your prayers and hold on tight
There's no time to sleep
There's so much at stake
And I kneel and pray
That you would stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Your young men will see visions
Your old men will dream dreams
When you walk, they will guide you
When you sleep, they will watch over you
And when you're awake, they will speak to you
(Come on!)
You always thought that a dream would be all you'd feel
Now it's time to wake up and make it real
To find eternal love was your only goal
Now there's someone reaching for your soul
You always thought that a dream was all you could give
There's a Man who died so your dreams could live
Sitting in the prison of your fear
Find yourself released as the Lord draws near
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight
Say your prayers and hold on tight
There's no time to sleep
There's so much at stake
And I kneel and pray
That you would stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake

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."

Plastic Bag

“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.
