Ooo ooo ooo
Ah ah ah aaah (x2)
Aaaah Ooooh (x2)
Aaaaaaaah

I don't like ultimatums up on me, up on me
I don't like the way they roll on my sleep, on my sleep
I don't like the feeling that I've lost something I used to have
I don't like the feeling that I've lost it to another man
I don't like to be attached

I don't like how or what are you, what I see, what I see
I don't like this notion that it's killing me, killing me
I don't like the feeling that I've lost something I used to have
I don't like the feeling that I've lost it to another man
I don't like to be attached

Ooo ooo ooo
Ah ah ah aaah (x2)

I don't like the sound of glass that's breaking free, breaking free
I don't like your beauty mask, it's scaring me, scaring me
I don't like the feeling that I've lost something I used to have
I don't like the feeling that I've lost it to another man
I don't like to be attached

I don't like ultimatums up on me, up on me
I don't like the way they roll on my sleep, on my sleep
I don't like the feeling that I've lost something I used to have
I don't like the feeling that I've lost it to another man
I don't wanna be attached

Like to be attached (x4)

    My Interpretation

    Basically, IMHO, the song is about a guy recovering from a breakup and watching his old girlfriend that he still has feelings for move on. The "attached" doesn't mean attached in the sense of being in a relationship but emotionally attached. Such a great song... I can't stop listening. :)

    This is what I hear, whether or not this is correct I don't know. I'm pretty sure that the ultimatum line is correct though.

    I don't like ultimatums up on me, up on me I don't like the way they rub on my sleeve, on my sleeve

    I don't like what I hear, or what I see, what I see I don't like this notion and it's killing me, killing me

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."
