This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'll tell you at street intersections
cause they give you a place to go
meanings to lines on maps
tell you how you're gonna get home.
Now I'm back in the Mid-West
where everything is familiar and sincere.
Everything's external and nothing just happens to you here,
in between coasts.
Chorus:
Lookin' for what it was you lost on second street
forgot what it was on Washington
and you let it go, you let it go,
you let it go, and you jumped in that pool undone
we're still in town, isn't that fun, yeah isn't that fun?
now i know there's been some hard times
and i don't mean you and me
you're over believing, back to forgetting
and you're turning on tv
what you see just makes you numb
and the headlines all become a blur
and the years and lives scroll by the bottom of that screen like desert sand
and we're entrenched in a mess
embedded in our beds, sleepin' in
what i wouldn't give to wanna live like i was ten
Chorus Once More
cause they give you a place to go
meanings to lines on maps
tell you how you're gonna get home.
Now I'm back in the Mid-West
where everything is familiar and sincere.
Everything's external and nothing just happens to you here,
in between coasts.
Chorus:
Lookin' for what it was you lost on second street
forgot what it was on Washington
and you let it go, you let it go,
you let it go, and you jumped in that pool undone
we're still in town, isn't that fun, yeah isn't that fun?
now i know there's been some hard times
and i don't mean you and me
you're over believing, back to forgetting
and you're turning on tv
what you see just makes you numb
and the headlines all become a blur
and the years and lives scroll by the bottom of that screen like desert sand
and we're entrenched in a mess
embedded in our beds, sleepin' in
what i wouldn't give to wanna live like i was ten
Chorus Once More

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
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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I know some of these lyrics are incorrect, but I know they're more complete than the ones already listed. Feel free to make corrections.
I'll tell you in street intersections 'Cause they give you a place to go Give meanings to lines on maps And tell you how you're gonna to get home Now I'm back here in the Midwest Where everything's familiar and sincere And everything's external Nothing just happened to you here In between coasts
Looking for what it was you lost on 2nd street Forgot what it was on Washington And you let it go, you let it go, you let it go Because you know that map book's long gone We're still in town, now isn't that fun? Yeah, isn't that fun?
Now I know there's been some hard times And I don't mean you and me You're over believing', back to forgettin' And you're turning on TV And what you see just makes you numb And the headlines all become a blur And the years and the lies scroll by n the bottom of that screen, like desert sand And we're entrenched in a mess Embedded in our beds, sleepin' in What I wouldn't give to want to live like I once did
Looking for what you lost on 2nd street Starin' through the windows of my friends And I can see all their loveliness Imagining all the clocks ticking and Big black clouds over their heads And we're waitin' for the hesitation to end
This town is way too small To ever need the bus So meet me at the pool That they keep unlocked all night For us
