Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
What in the world have I done to my poor child?
Silently I feel her breath running
warm and softly across my chest.
And I try to understand my misery,
do I owe you this much?
(Hate me, leave me, lock me)
And I cry, 'cause I tried,
now I plead my sanity to God.
(Hate me, leave me, kill me)
In her name, I didn't hesitate,
oh dear Lord, please take my life.
Bitter oblivion awaits at the end,
(awaits at the end)
where thousands of images
are floating inside my head.
The harder I'm struggling,
the deeper I'm falling.
Forgive me daughter,
my demons have finally aroused!
As I sink into the mist, I can feel my spirit
hoping for her to understand.
Finally walk out through that door,
walking blind across that corridor.
There was no escape...
Silent, I walk away, feared to serve her wicked grin,
I'm rotting in my darkest sin.
Silent, I run away, close beyond the frontal gate,
worry not, oblivion awaits.
Take my life, I'm drowning in despair
and must now take my own bail.
I disbelieve the pandemonium I have unleashed.
Hear my lady madness' prayer: I'm missing you in hell,
there's no escape for you.
Oh, can't you listen to the bell?
Why can't I see the light?
Why can't I be a man?
Was I just meant to serve your wicked humor?
Please tell me God!
Is there a path to life?
Is there a path to follow you?
Betrayal was the spit I got from you
by living this duel!
(Grab a pen to write a goodbye kiss to you)
My beautiful and young daughter Sophia,
(Always gave me pride)
or should I call you Lillian, I don't know anymore...
(Wish to see you later on, though)
all I want is never to hurt you again.
Time, slowly fading,
lost, I'm consumed by hatred!
Hate, always by my side,
death, this will be the end!
Her, as I will remember,
mine, she will always be!
Nothing, don't tell me now,
I vanish in the air!
Take a handful, swallow it all,
let the reaper make its call.
I'm done with praying, done with trying,
done with crying!
The time has come to take my fall.
A thin pressure calls out from my shirt,
my last cigarette is left within a gird.
Allow this indulgence before you face death:
maybe you'll find your life is not as sad,
not as sad!
Now I want to live, this is my last chance,
I promise I'll wake up and do what is best.
New agony is burning suddenly into my chest,
can't take it no more, I'm lying to rest.
I'm finally dying, though now I was fighting,
it wasn't my own to decide,
it's my time to say goodbye.
Bitter oblivion awaits at the end,
(Awaits at the end)
and the pain's getting deeper
with each given step.
I'm wandering with no stars
to guide through my way,
carrying the weight of my life,
these binding chains...
Silently I feel her breath running
warm and softly across my chest.
And I try to understand my misery,
do I owe you this much?
(Hate me, leave me, lock me)
And I cry, 'cause I tried,
now I plead my sanity to God.
(Hate me, leave me, kill me)
In her name, I didn't hesitate,
oh dear Lord, please take my life.
Bitter oblivion awaits at the end,
(awaits at the end)
where thousands of images
are floating inside my head.
The harder I'm struggling,
the deeper I'm falling.
Forgive me daughter,
my demons have finally aroused!
As I sink into the mist, I can feel my spirit
hoping for her to understand.
Finally walk out through that door,
walking blind across that corridor.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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.
