Three purple butterflies smiling at me
With their alligator eyes just shooting the breeze
She said
Find the lines to connect the dots
The pans and the pots turn themselves into robots
Little ladybug busting a move
With your dilated eyes just shooting the breeze
She came
Without the rules there would be no game
The boxes and the skids build themselves into pyramids

Urban planners
Fresh as wes and Tropicana
Never deceiving
Tripping on bananas bust it
No break it down
Insane decision
Underpaid doctor paging world vision
Boy
Knot another chord
Surfing on a Ouija board
Strumming with an icepick
Papers love an oil slick
Trustable
Combusting the combustibles
Mind your manners
And watch out for the tricks from

Question mark police
With shrewd intensions
Randomness agrees
With good intensions

Three little aloe plants working to sooth
With their bifurcated arms just living to ooze
She healed
Without the Finch there would be no Steeles
The flippers and the keels turned themselves into navy seals
Little ladybug busting a move
With your dilated eyes just shooting the breeze
She came
Without the rules there would be no game
The boxes and the skids build themselves into pyramids

Urban planners
Fresh as wes and Tropicana
Never deceiving
Tripping on bananas bust it
No break it down
Insane decision
Underpaid doctor paging world vision
Boy
Knot another chord
Surfing on a Ouija board
Strumming with an icepick
Papers love an oil slick
Trustable
Combusting the combustibles
Mind your manners
And watch out for the tricks from

Question mark police
With shrewd intensions
Randomness agrees
With good intensions
Question mark police
With shrewd intensions
Randomness agrees
With good intensions

    The second "With your dilated eyes just shooting the breeze",should actually be "With your dilated eyes just working the groove."

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."
