its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Wait, I really don't have the guts for this
It must have been abstracted with my appendix
Or maybe it grows with my wisdom teeth
Wait, it might be such a stretch, it's not my fault legally
I'll dial the doctors now, you're right I never was a man for the law
Please don't walk away in defeat, please don't walk away
Wait, I haven't lost my courage on the rocks
I haven't quite found the words to use
I'm not sure they make the cards to break this ice
Wait, please wait until our socks are bitterly soaked
Until we have to roll up our pants
Until the giraffes flee to row boats
Please don't walk away in anger darling
Exit gracefully like the evening's sunset
Enter the scene starting with a dial tone
Tightrope over these razorblade complications
Cutting myself, almost everyday
Let it feel so real, let me taste the pain
One day we'll live in igloos on the Galapagos
'Till then let's remember the Atlantic air in-between our hands
The worms are moving, the grass is growing
Flowers are blooming, the leaves are dropping
The birds are chirping, clouds are forming
The sun is burning, self medication never ends
I taught you how to hate, you taught me how to love too
This is how I lost my mind on you
I taught you how to hate, you taught me how to love too
This is how I lost my mind on you
I taught you how to hate, you taught me how to love too
This is how I lost my mind on you
I taught you how to hate, you taught me how to love too
This is how I lost my mind on you
I taught you how to hate, you taught me how to love too
This is how I lost my mind on you
I taught you how to hate, you taught me how to love too
This is how I lost my mind on you
This is our final dance
You taught me how to love and I taught you how to hate
Everything is based on you
Isn't it funny how we lost control or how I lost my mind on you?
This is our final dance
You taught me how to love and I taught you how to hate
Everything is based on you
Isn't it funny how we lost control or how I lost my mind on you?
This is our final dance
You taught me how to love and I taught you how to hate
Everything is based on you
Isn't it funny how we lost control or how I lost my mind on you?
This is our final dance
You taught me how to love and I taught you how to hate
Everything is based on you
Isn't it funny how we lost control or how I lost my mind on you?
This is our final dance
You taught me how to love and I taught you how to hate
Everything is based on you
Isn't it funny how we lost control or how I lost my mind on you?

Wait, it might be such a stretch, it's not my fault legally

Please don't walk away in defeat, please don't walk away
Wait, I haven't lost my courage on the rocks
I haven't quite found the words to use

You taught me how to love and I taught you how to hate
Everything is based on you
Isn't it funny how we lost control or how I lost my mind on you?

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.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.
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.
This one is easy yet hard. The first part is the hard part, he hints at being young, under age, and afraid.
The second stanza hints at something is wrong with him or the relationship, perhaps an abortion? Or his suicidal tendencies. The third stanza also reinforces this idea with the notion of having to tell people about it.
The next few stanzas are about him not wanting his partner to leave him, and then he goes into a few stanzas about the end of the world via a massive flood, but the backing vocals sing about how the world continues to go about its business, and its all in his mind. The rest of it is addresses to his partner, about their love.
