Let's take this slow
As If I should even be one to talk
Constantly moving on all my luck
So fast like a rabbit then getting stuck
I cannot give up
In a briar patch I knew I would meet you
But I'm stopped, not sure it's entirely true
Deja vu of people that I knew already
What I did to them, this is getting heavy
And spinning me places that I wish I deserved to be
I have to block it before my intuition deceives me

I rocket back to the earth like an alien
Looking for blue planet rays to become human
I have a gift that tells of every curse
So make a move for the exit
But your laugh shakes me up and it makes me clean
Between an XM pop rock takeover queen
And an old friend who left a spell
Lifted every curse so make a move for the entrance

So I'll get nervous one more time
Watching hands not mine shaking maybe signs
And tying hair with a flare
That's ready to fly aboard civilian crimes
They're knife-cutting all the lines
And I don't at all care why
I'm staring like I've got a better idea
Saw you scrambling numbers
And highlighting fluorescent wit
With a steady pen on airline standby trends

I rocket back to the earth like an alien
Looking for blue planet rays to become human
I have a gift that tells of every curse
So make a move for the exit
But your laugh shakes me up and it makes me clean
Between a top 40 pop rock takeover queen
And an old friend who left a spell
Lifted every curse so make a move for the entrance

Believe me, believe me
I see things, not crazy
I've come clean, not wasting
Not lazy, done chasing
I knew you would be there
But I couldn't believe it
My friends know I'm out there
To speak truths and take dares
A-B, 52, and it's thirty degrees
I'm making sense with this movie on the back of the seat
On the port side of this ride

I rocket back to the earth like an alien
Looking for blue planet rays to become human
I have a gift that tells of every curse
So make a move for the exit
But your laugh shakes me up and it makes me clean
Between an XM pop rock takeover queen
And an old friend who left a spell
Lifted every curse so make a move for the entrance

    Jordan: "This was the second song that got written the day Brian said 'Write me a hit!'. It had an early Smashing Pumpkins feel (of sorts) to us, so the working title for the sessions became that. It's a very vibey, groovy piece of music through and through. I think the bridge is my favorite part of the song. For the lyrics: so I'll get these premonitions, mostly in the form of day-dreams. Vivid visions or senses of things to come anywhere from five seconds into the future to a day, week, or month into it. They typically have scared the shit out of me, but the song is about one recent one which was pretty cool. It took place at London Heathrow airport last December when we were waiting for standby flights home after they had shut down all out-going flights (due to bad weather). It'd take a lot out of me to explain it all right now, so come ask me at a show! Or in a future interview if that would work."

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."

Magical
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.
