This is the story that time forgot.
And though some names have been changed,
Some names, some names have not.
Tune in every night at six o’clock
You can open up a magic box and see me there.
Ready or not, here I come, I’m free.
I got so many names,
Let Lucifer Longtail suffice,
So many faces, so many devices in the
Sweet smile of the talk-show host
To the suicide celebrity ghost.

That’s me, yeah,
The ace in the hole of America’s soul.
Adore, adore
Bow down before.
Bow down before.
Adore, adore.
A star is born, you start to fall
Down on your knees
And adore me.

And we already know the news is born and sold
By the man with the plan and the corporate gold.
And we already know that the story can change
At the roll of a dice, reality rearranges.
That’s me, yeah
I’m everywhere you did not think I could be so,
Adore, adore.
Bow down before.
Bow down before.
Adore, adore.
A star is born, you start to fall
Down on your knees
And adore me.

And I’ll be there in the secrets that you dream in.
And I’ll be there when you wake up in the morning.
And I’ll be there when you get home in evening.
‘Til the days of your life is done.

This is the song that the caged bird sings,
Curled up like a cat at the corner of everything.
Don’t feel bad even if you could,
‘Cuz if you did not do it,
Someone else just would.
It’s…easy.
Believe. Me.
I’ll show you such wonderful things.
I’ll show you such wonderful things ‘til you’re just like me.

Adore, adore.
Bow down before.
Bow down before.
Adore, adore.
A star is born, you start to fall
Down on your knees
And adore me.

Adore, adore.
Bow down before.
Bow down before.
Adore, adore.
A star is born, you start to fall
Down on your knees
And adore me.

Adore. Adore.
Bow down. Before.
Adore. Adore.
Bow down. Before.
Adore. Adore.
Bow down. Before.
Adore. Adore.
Bow down before.
Adore.

    I think the song is about the evil that we all have inside, named Lucifer by the christian and the jews I don't quite know, however, this song implies that the so call "American soul" , should be better called American Greed and that it's inspired by the devil. For what I know about the world every country is greedy and we all have some greed so I guess that Yoav or Whomever who wrote that song is wrong because greed is not that bad. I mean without greed we all still be living in caves haunting deers or whatever.

    The song is not necessarily about greed, but about American television, celebrity worship, and corporate interests that control the news and many parts of American life that we are so used to that we don't even realize it.

    I will purely speculate. I am biased in my views due to the fact that Yoav toured with Tori Amos who he must share something in common with. She is heavily involved with the occult and embraces things I believe are of a fallen spiritual nature in order to create her music. I think Yoav does the same. I believe this song is at the very least a tribute to the enemy of mankind, Satan. Satan is a real and a heavy influence on modern rock (see documentary entitled "Hells Bells" for an awesome critique). Hopefully Yoav is not dabbling in the occult in order to influence his creativity, however I do see the hallmarks of Satan's fingerprints in this song. In fact there is so little subtlety that it almost reaks. Yoav, again may be unaware that he is doing something that Satan loves. He is making a comment of the god of this age and his title as a prince of the power of the atmosphere of thought that influences how we contemplate the Truth. Satan's assault on us is everywhere, as Yoav points out. Satan wants to be adored and worshipped. That is why he has fallen, that morning star, the highest angel ever created who wanted to be the Most High. As a discerning believer I can easily see this is an eerie reminder of how prideful the devil is, mocking us as we might even suggest he is not real. What Satan wants is to destroy us because he hates God, the One and only One who deserves our adoration and worship for dying for us on the cross and defeating the devil in ultimate and everlasting victory over sin.

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.
