I'm walking in circles
But I can't turn around
I have fallen so deep
I've already passed the ground
And I've died, so many times
I've forgotten what it's like

To Breathe it in
To just live and be free
To feel again
All I'm wanting is all I need

So what am I to do?
But to keep track of time
As I spend eternity
Walking this round life

(whispers)
I cannot conceive of never knowing
What I know there is to never know
Cause I will never break
I Will always take and make it into
What I always need to go

I'm walking in circle
But there's no turning back
I have fallen so hard now
The pavement is the crack

And I've died a thousand times
I no longer care whats mine
I will take it in
I will take it and make it all mine
With a mighty grin
No more reason within my rhyme

So what am I to do
But to keep track of time
As I spend eternity
Walking this round life

Walking turns into running
And then it's still so far to go
The circle starts to close in
And its calling for the *throws*
But I walk the road

(whispers)
Don't walk turn around (repeated overlapped)
I cannot conceive of never knowing
What I know there is to never know
Cause I will never break
And I will always take
And make it into what I always need to go

I walk alone
I'm walking in circles
I walk alone
But I can't turn around
I walk alone
I have fallen so deep
I've already passed the ground
I walk alone
And I've died, so many times
I walk alone
I've forgotten what it's like
I walk alone

    had to write it up as i couldn't find the lyrics anywhere if anythings wrong please feel free to correct as some of the whispered words were hard to make out at points

    as for interpretation: someone whos lost there direction, they're stuck in a bad place from what i gather and cant seem to find a way out. losing all sense of whats theres and what isnt, and theyve gone round this pattern so many times its almostlike they're forgetting how to feel ie becoming numb, who knows its an awesome song with an incredible atmosphere :D

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/

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.
