This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I lay down every night
And I can't get no rest
'Cause it starts spinning in my brain
And then it's pounding in my chest
What if I've wasted all my youth?
What if I've wasted growing up?
What if I wasted my whole life?
Oh man, I feel like throwing up
It's an anxiety attack
An anxiety attack
I've got a bad case of the horrors
And at night it comes back
'Cause first I look back at my week
And then I look back at my year
And then I'm terrified to speak
And then I'm paralyzed with fear
And I'm tossing and I'm turning
And I'm going 'round the bend
And all I see are all my failings
Downward spirals without end
And I see horror in the future
And I see horror in the past
And it's 4am and 5am, 6am at last
'Cause what if I never feel grown up
And die in a car accident?
And what if I go crazy
And what if this time it's permanent?
And what if I go broke
And have to move back with my parents?
And then what if I get cancer
And I ain't got no insurance?
All my days are moving faster
And it's making me feel dizzy
How come I get nothing done
But always feel so busy?
And I used to feel so smart
You know, I used to feel so strong
But this just can't be how to live
I must be doing something wrong
Because everything I might do
Feels like something else I can't
And then another day is gone
And I just don't know where it went
I try not to hang out too much
Try not to watch too much television
But still everything I do
Just seems to be the wrong decision
And I lay down every night
But still I can't get no rest
'Cause it starts spinning in my brain
And then it's pounding in my chest
It's an anxiety attack
An anxiety attack
I've got a bad case of the horrors
And at night it comes back
And I can't get no rest
'Cause it starts spinning in my brain
And then it's pounding in my chest
What if I've wasted all my youth?
What if I've wasted growing up?
What if I wasted my whole life?
Oh man, I feel like throwing up
It's an anxiety attack
An anxiety attack
I've got a bad case of the horrors
And at night it comes back
'Cause first I look back at my week
And then I look back at my year
And then I'm terrified to speak
And then I'm paralyzed with fear
And I'm tossing and I'm turning
And I'm going 'round the bend
And all I see are all my failings
Downward spirals without end
And I see horror in the future
And I see horror in the past
And it's 4am and 5am, 6am at last
'Cause what if I never feel grown up
And die in a car accident?
And what if I go crazy
And what if this time it's permanent?
And what if I go broke
And have to move back with my parents?
And then what if I get cancer
And I ain't got no insurance?
All my days are moving faster
And it's making me feel dizzy
How come I get nothing done
But always feel so busy?
And I used to feel so smart
You know, I used to feel so strong
But this just can't be how to live
I must be doing something wrong
Because everything I might do
Feels like something else I can't
And then another day is gone
And I just don't know where it went
I try not to hang out too much
Try not to watch too much television
But still everything I do
Just seems to be the wrong decision
And I lay down every night
But still I can't get no rest
'Cause it starts spinning in my brain
And then it's pounding in my chest
It's an anxiety attack
An anxiety attack
I've got a bad case of the horrors
And at night it comes back

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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
never in my life, have i had a song speak my thoughts word for word this way. jeffrey lewis gets me.
This song makes me glad I'm British because at least I don't have to worry about not having insurance.
I can relate.

To the point, that's for sure. I guess there's something to be said for anti-folk after all, it's not all "I want to ride bikes with you". Still plenty of that nonsense though.
story of my fucking life
It's strange how many people can relate to this song. I have a close friend that is just the epitome for these lyrics. I find it quite sad though too.
This song is giving me anxiety...
