I'm taking advice on love and how to make it
And I'm trying not to break it
Before it even starts
My favorite distraction
She's making failure fashion
The cameras roll, we lose control of where tonight will end
We trade our confidences
And lower our defenses
But in the final scene I leave the screen to leave me wondering

Why do I get so bored,
Why can't I just find a love that's worth the wait
Instead of wasting time
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake
And in the end I leave much more than I take
And now I see that we can never be
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams
Now I learned one thing:
That we don't believe the promises we keep (the promises we keep)

Here's what sins are made of
She can not be persuaded
I missed her heart a million times
And God knows I have tried
To shoot her with an arrow
Of Cupids own design
The problem is I always miss an hit a passerby

Why do I get so bored,
Why can't I just find a love that's worth the wait
Instead of wasting time
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake
And in the end I leave much more than I take
And now I see that we can never be
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams
Now I learned one thing:
That we don't believe the promises we keep

She's so alone
She's so alone
It's taking everything in me to leave
It's taking everything in me just to say your name
It's a constant reminder to me
That I will never be whole again

I'm taking advice on love and how to make it (make it)
And I'm trying not to break it (break it)
Before it even starts

Why do I get so bored,
Why can't I just find a love that's worth the wait
Instead of wasting time
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake
And in the end I leave much more than I take
And now I see that we can never be
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams
Now I learned one thing:
That we don't believe the promises we keep (the promises we keep)

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."
