Broken Home

The Codetalkers

Sometimes you have to rock to your own destiny
And take sides with the life you know
Spirits try to make their way into your mind
Sometimes you have to tell them no

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

It takes the kind of patience that I'll never find
Chemistry of mutated goals
This pessimistic novel that I have to write
Is all that I will ever know

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

To sacrifice the person in the inner core
Is to paralyze the rocking horse
you sway from side to side and take a rocky ride
Until you find your way off course

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

Oh and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

Oh and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
Fixing up our broken home
Dying on that broken road

    Basically being the guy you used to be.

    Before you have to be the guy you were.

    Again.

    Ad infinitum until you die.

    If you're reading this and confused you're not old enough but actually old enough to listen to good shit.

Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
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.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
