I really poured a tangled web
It's definitely not the straight and narrow
Not feeling tired, depressed and down
But I'm not feeling inspired and able
Not reading into certain things
But I don't ignore the words you said to me
I can focus clearly now
Maybe we should deal with all this later
No one wants to listen to me talk about my boring life
I know you're just hanging for a change

Oh, come on now
Let it go
It's gonna ruin ya
Say goodbye to California
Let it go
It's gonna ruin ya

Dreaming, wishing, praying, hoping,
Asking for an observation
Time can only heal the thing you thought
You broke while on vacation
No one wants to listen to you talk about your boring life
I need to send myself to outer space

Oh, come on now
Let it go
It's gonna ruin ya
Say goodbye to California
Let it go
It's gonna ruin ya

And so goodbye to the past
You know nothing's meant to last
Place both hands on the edge
And jump off this rusty bridge
Because no one in the world could ever change my mind
It's time to fly

Say goodbye to my kids
To my multitude of sins
Say hello to the sky
And the foggy world up high
I am flying over cars and past the moon gates by
I'm letting go

Over Fillmore and South Market
I am spinning like a rocket
Goodbye
(It's gonna ruin you)
It's time to say goodbye
Though I really didn't wanna leave you
Goodbye

    Hmm, seems about leaving California,

    but then later on, it seems to be more about suicide.

    i don't think some of these lyrics are correct. is this what darren said they were, or just someone's interpretation?

    Some other places list the lyrics as:

    "I really ployed a tangled web" instead of "I really poured a tangled web"

    and

    "I am flying over cars and past the northern gay bars" instead of "I am flying over cars and past the moon gates by"

    But it doesn't really sound like either.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
