This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You drew a map
Made just for me
And I never found the road
No I never found the road
Your twists and bends
are meaningless
And I never found the road
No I never found the road
To any home where
I once belonged
Or to any time when
I could be strong
And I never found the road
No I never found the road
Your twists and bends
are meaningless
Your warning signs
I can't discern
Your diagrams
are surely wrong
But you knew the way
You made it there
And I never found the road
Made just for me
And I never found the road
No I never found the road
Your twists and bends
are meaningless
And I never found the road
No I never found the road
To any home where
I once belonged
Or to any time when
I could be strong
And I never found the road
No I never found the road
Your twists and bends
are meaningless
Your warning signs
I can't discern
Your diagrams
are surely wrong
But you knew the way
You made it there
And I never found the road

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
"This song is obviously about Andy trying to deal with the success of his brother's band. He says "The Bends" is meaningless and he never found "the road" - a potential illusion to songs like "Airbag" and "Killer Cars"?"
"He goes onto say "your diagrams are surely wrong". Many Radiohead albums have artwork by Thom Yorke in the liner notes."
"Your warning signs, I can't discern" is Andy practically dismissing "4 Minute Warning"
"The last two lines also look like Andy is implying that Thom Yorke sold out."
"To any home where I once belonged" is Andy reflecting on the fact he feels second best to Thom"
Reducing this song to Andy Yorke whining about his brother's success is kind of ridiculous and really not fair to either of them, especially Andy. I'm sure he has a life outside of being Thom's brother, and it seems like he's always been very professional and conscious of keeping their careers separate. Sorry if I sound harsh, but constantly coming across people trying to read things like that into his music gets tiring. :-/
The song's vague enough that it could mean a lot of things. I think it's just about being lost in general, in a metaphorical sense. It sounds like it could be romantic as well, as though the "you" in the song planned for the two of them to have a future together, but the narrator couldn't follow through with those plans for whatever reason.
I like Andy's solo album... I think I like his Unbelievable Truth stuff more, but it's still quite good; just lovely, soothing music. He has such a beautiful voice - guess it runs in the family. :-P
