Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
But tonight,
On this small planet,
We're going to rock civilisation
Is this bass really strong enough?
We're marooned on a small island, in an endless sea,
Confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape,
But tonight, it's heavy stuff
On this small planet,
We're going to rock civilisation
Is this bass really strong enough?
We're marooned on a small island, in an endless sea,
Confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape,
But tonight, it's heavy stuff

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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.
Hell this tune has been out for ove a yr n no one has even commeneted whats goin on here!! Ive heard this tune so much but still f**kn love it when im out !!
yes FUCKING AMAZING!!!!! when raving last night to this track, but i think the deal with noone commenting isnt that they dont like it, just that theres no much to comment on (apart from the fact its hardcore!!)
I think it's cause people generally don't look for songs with no (conventional) lyrics on a site about the meanings of lyrics.
Bloody good song though.
My mate said "This song makes me think of really late nights, up on really dirty pills" hahah i kinda agree
I think it means or it reminds me of the fact that more or less we are stuck on this small planet: "We're marooned on a small island, in an endless sea" The sea being space. And we might as well have a good time while we're here: "unable to escape, But tonight, it's heavy stuff"
This song makes me want to hit people.
Lol its a steven Hawking quote..
And for a non-raver (actually a metal addict), this song delivers!
classic D&B anthem, with a excellent music video
yeah yeah, this is a big tune because it makes me want to skull fuck people
anything (steven hawking in this case) + pendulum = KICK*** MUSIC!
