how the tedium eats
can’t stop the feeling that creeps under the sheets
under the skin where that city just sleeps
over the wind people are afraid to speak
chameleon cummunicado, generation now
got to hit the lotto, got to sell it on out
get it all at once, living out the front
putting something in their lungs, nose
something in the vein
numbing the pain to break the modern refrain
what to claim?
lost control, lost restraint
most just float until they hit the floor
live in the abandoned houses of the ghosts of war
so repaint the place to reclaim the space
but there goes that stain you can’t erase
ergo, call me Rene Descartes to the faint of heart
it ain’t to make a mark it’s to draw a map
this is where we’re living at
live from the Minneap
everybody run around the city trapped
act like you knew
this is the Bad Time Zoo
Sims bring it live on the check one, two

everyone’s yelling get free, get free
everybody yelling get fresh, get fresh
everyone caught the same old sickness
spent all the change and there ain’t no difference

this is your captain speaking
this ship is rapidly sinking
this mission was lost from the yard
so thanks for the help, watch for the sharks
shots in the dark I pray for health
but I’m running out of places of where to
send that prayer
I hang a thousand mile stare in the bended air
then bend it back over kicks and snares
I keep it moving call me piston flare
watch me flip the miles
nah, call me Ishmael
I’ve got a bigger fish to snare
this is wildlife in the bright light
caught up in a different glare
everybody everywhere so disrepaired
up all night up all night
trying to make it right
but as it demands we keep on moving at
the speed of life
this is wildlife, close claws no cause
my mic sounds right, no pause
act like you do
show me the Bad Time Zoo
Sims bring it live on the check one where
he’s living at
live from the Minneap
everybody run around the city trapped
act like you do then
show me the Bad Time Zoo
Sims bring it live on the check one, two
everyone’s yelling get free, free
everybody yelling get fresh, get fresh
everyone caught the same old sickness
spent all the change and there ain’t no difference
everyone’s yelling get free, free,
everybody yelling get fresh, get fresh
everyone caught the same old sick
spent all the change, ain’t nothing changed

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
