Once my love stood still like a stagnant

Well, for so long you could hear

The song of spiders, strumming fiber

Calling her to the web

My river sits in ebb, the little ones

Lean over, laughing echoes

Bounce down the dark until it hits the floor

Singin', 'Come on baby, come on child call your flo

Like a seed of wonder, faith of mustard, oh yeah, oh yeah'

All is dark, all of the light is vanished

It is gone like something large

Hovering high has covered up the sun

And something quiets the silken ringing

Something breaks the strum

A wish has finally come, oh no, oh no

All I want is to be writing to be writing

All I want is to be writing and it goes something like

Once that wish did land like a star in my hand

It burned and it burned and it burrowed in

Soar through the source searching

Hammer and ping and tapped my virgin spring

And prime the vein with milk of mother

And wet my river bed

Pearls strung up on silk thread, the starry one

Beams of light he's working under

Digging through the dark gathering particles

Finding everything you ever wished for in your soul

Like a seed of wonder faith of mustard, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no

Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no

Finally that tapped spring

Come running like a river my song it came, oh yeah, oh no

Right away I went writing, I went writing

Right away I was humming, I was humming

Right away I was singing, I was singing

Right away I was loving and it goes something like

Light, I haven't always been under such a blue

Only you have seen such storming in my life

All I want is to be writing, to be writing

All I want is to be writing and it goes something like

Once my love stood still like a stagnant

Well, for so long you could hear

The song of spiders, strumming fibbers

Calling her to the web

My river sits in ebb, the little ones

Lean over, laughing echoes

Bounce down the dark until it hits the floor

Singin', 'Come on baby, come on child call your flo

Like a seed of wonder, faith of mustard, oh yeah, oh yeah'

All is dark, all of the light is vanished

It is gone like something large

Hovering high has covered up the sun

And something quiets the silken ringing

Something breaks the strum

A wish has finally come, oh no, oh no, oh

All I want is to be writing to be writing

All I want is to be writing and it goes something like

Once that wish did land like a star in my hand

It burned and it burned and it burrowed in

Soar through the source searching

Hammer and ping and tapped my virgin spring

And prime the vein with milk of mother

And wet my river bed

Pearls strung up on silk thread, the starry one

Beams of light, he's working under

Digging through the dark gathering particles

Finding everything you ever wished for in your soul

Like a seed of wonder faith of mustard, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no

Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no

Finally that tapped spring

Come running like a river my song it came, oh yeah, oh no

Right away I went writing, I went writing

Right away I was humming, I was humming

Right away I was singing, I was singing

Right away I was loving and it goes something like light

I haven't always been under such a blue

Only you have seen such storming in my life

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
