One day you here the next you not
(Reaper)
Wanna see you in your coffin
One day you here the next you not,
It was your time to go

[hook]
If time dont fear the reaper, neither do the sun nor the wind and the rain
Then maybe things will be as they were
Except after death there will be no pain, for a change
Still I wonder why, if we can laugh and cry
Het high and pass the lie, why do we have to die?
Because there's two sides to life the dark and light
Pray that your god don't stop your heart tonight

Since I was a toddler I'd ask my father
If we're all gonna die, why do we bother
Trying to go farther than the last martyr
Exploring more of the earth than man has chartered?
It gets harder everyday just for starters
The greedy don't barter they just steal and starve ya'
Thank god I, caught this like Gary Carter or Tim McCarver
And learned I gotta think smarter
We oughta, take advantage of the part of
The refined design we find we're offered
Cause time bends like the bow of an archer
My mind tends to be grim like Clive Barker
Cause when your caught in the web like Peter Parker
You'll see the mark of the reaper is even darker
Than the heart of a black -hole that's unchartered
Swallowing bright light rays the sun started

[Hook]

It's inevitable that death will get you
whether a sick chick with AIDS sex you
Or a clip spit and weapons wet you
If it can happen to best friends and Seanie's gone
I wonder will tomorrow be the day that mommies gone
My greatest dream is she win her fight with the cancer
Taking each day by day in life is the answer
They told her she had only few months to live
But she didn't give up, a few years later here she is
Still alive and it gives me the illest vibe
Loved gramps still he died I'm itching to kill a guy
Why, so many pussies frontin', they trying to push my buttons
Faggots that's good for nothing always wanna prove there something
Your mother had to carry you for nine months
But I could bury you by squeezing a nine once
So be sure to the core before you take a life
Cause someone had to give birth, nurture and make a life
Wake up to feed and love a screaming baby late at night
So take my advice, two wrongs don't make a right
I've danced with the devil by the moonlight
While death swept fingers on the harp and played a tune like
I don't fear the reaper, neither do the sun nor the wind or the rain
But death fucks with your soul like ether
You come to take my life I'll put a slug in your brain...

[Hook]

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
