De dwaze moeders op het plein
Wier kinderen verduisterd zijn
En die nog steeds jaren door roepen
Ongehoord
Ze schuifelen door het journaal
Geef hun een teken een signaal
Dat geen enkele deur eeuwig dicht zal zijn
Dat aan het eind van de tunnel weer licht zal zijn

Gezinnen die de apartheidswaan
Meedogenloos uiteen liet slaan
Ze komen toch weer bij elkaar
Voor even maar
Want liefde is daar illegaal
Geef hun een teken een signaal
Dat geen enkele deur eeuwig dicht zal zijn
Dat aan het eind van de tunnel weer licht zal zijn

Vervolgden om geloof of ras
Vervolgden om wat vader was
Vervolgden met het schietgebed
Van Jezus Marx of Mohammed
Vervolgden met een ideaal
Geef hun een teken een signaal
Dat geen enkele deur eeuwig dicht zal zijn
Dat aan het eind van de tunnel weer licht zal zijn

Vervolgden om geloof of ras
Vervolgden om wat vader was
Vervolgden met het schietgebed
Van Jezus Marx of Mohammed
Vervolgden met een ideaal
Geef hun een teken een signaal
Dat geen enkele deur eeuwig dicht zal zijn
Dat aan het eind van de tunnel weer licht zal zijn

La la la

De dwaze moeders op het plein
Wier kinderen verduisterd zijn
En die nog steeds jaren door roepen
Ongehoord
Zoals de mijnwerkers in de mijn
De redding moet al bezig zijn
De andere zijn hulp gaan halen
Het wachten is op de signalen

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
