I can't sleep in my bed anymore
My home says so little now
Everyone's gone in mind
And I paint myself in a corner

You've got it made
You've got it made, you've got it made
I'd love to be you
So I don't have to feel this way
Tell me are you happy now
Tell me did it all work out
It's too late, it's too late
But do you feel the same?

I reach out to you for help
I see myself in envy
Or do I admire
How happy you are
Either way I'd walk in your shoes
But she fits them better
She fits them better than

You've got it made
You've got it made, you've got it made
I'd love to be you
So I don't have to feel this way
Tell me are you happy now
Tell me did it all work out
It's too late, it's too late
But do you feel the same?
Do you feel the same?

As my life hangs from a string
And you have grabbed the scissors
Was it just a summer fling
As these flowers start to wither
And no matter what I think
You will make decisions
And I can't even blink
Because I've lost all my ambitions

You've got it made
You've got it made, you've got it made
I'd love to be you
So I don't have to feel

You've got it made
You've got it made, you've got it made
I'd love to be you
So I don't have to feel this pain
Tell me are you happy now
Tell me did it all work out
It's too late, it's too late
But do you feel the same?

She fits them better than
She fits them better than me

Do you feel the same?

    This song is about having trouble getting over a relationship. He's seemed to move on, but she's still stuck on him. Everything around her reminds of them. She sees that he's moved on and she wish she could be in his shoes. She thinks that seeing that he's moved on, their relationship never meant anything and he'll continue on with his life and not even think about how she feels.

    i think its about a summer love, then when fall hits they break up. he moves on and finds another girl and i happy, while she is depressed and wants a life like his and wants him back.

    she asks him for help but he turns her down. then she realized that his girlfriend now is better for him.

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."
