Believe me
This isn't quite what I wanted
I wish that you would take a look inside
And trust everything that you know

It's time now
To take a step back and think friend
Cause the decisions you're about to make
Make things harder for you

You got a good head on your shoulders
But you've waited way too long
Now you're rushed with a decision
And I hope that you stay strong

Cause we've got the answers
Please stop running around
Always running around
Tried so hard to help you
Keep your feet on the ground
Keep your feet on the ground
Here to listen to you
To help you through hard times
We know exactly what you're going through tonight

Think for yourself
Why you can't even think straight
Try to work things out
The way you know and predict it
But they don't know, they can't judge you
That's what you care about

Help them make money
To try and feed a family
Appreciate the things that you do
You've got to get up now and start a better life

Cause we've got the answers
Please stop running around
Always running around
Tried so hard to help you
Keep your feet on the ground
Keep your feet on the ground
Here to listen to you
And help you through hard times
We know exactly what you're going through tonight

You know that you hate the things you have seen
(Keep on running, oh you keep on running)
Deliberately hiding from all your dreams
(Keep on running, oh you keep on running)
You sit there and you worry, always in a hurry
But we make the time if it makes you happy

Just so you know
I've been building all of these things
From the ground up to the sky
Took a very long time, don't give up
Cause you've fighting way too long to let go of your lies
Take a step, find your path and you'll know

Cause we've got the answers
Please stop running around
Always running around
Tried so hard to help you
Keep your feet on the ground
Keep your feet on the ground
Here to listen to you
To help you through hard times
We know exactly (We know exactly)
We know exactly (We know exactly)
We know exactly what you're going through tonight

    Wow, I just noticed that no one has really commented on this song. o.0 For some reason when I listen to this song I invision a person who wants to kill themself, and they call a suicide hotline or a good friend who tells them to hold on, that they understand, and to slow down and take a break. But when I sit and read the lyrics, I think a little differently. I think the song it talking about someone who overworks themselves, overthinks things, and/or has gone through a lot in life, yet they don't tell anyone or seek any help, they try to figure it out themselves. And they have a friend who is trying to help, who is saying "slow down, I understand, I want to help you and I'll make the time to do so". I think the reason the song is so upbeat in cheery with the clapping is because of this, it's just supposed to cheer you up :] Beautiful song, thanks for posting the lyrics. I can't wait for their CD to come out this summer.

    i agree with hearts&&daggers,

    but also when i read "You're out there Making money, trying to Feed a family who won’t appreciate the things that you do, You got to get out now, and start a better life..."

    i wonder if it's talking about a prostitute/stripper?

    This may just be because of my own experiences, but to me this song is about a relationship that's in trouble because one person has a life a really troubled life that they aren't really dealing with.

    This song is about saying, hang on, I'm trying to help you, so slow down and let me.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
