I was awake, alone, afraid, confused
The only love I knew, the only love I knew
You were the only love I knew and I was afraid

Scars don't heal
When they grow on the inside
The mind can't kill
What it sees on the outside

Too young to know
Too young to understand
Force fed the real thing
I didn't know what it meant back then

And now you wonder what went wrong
How can you wonder what went wrong?

Love wasn't explained
Try spending that much time alone
I know this pain
Over time it only grows

Didn't wanna believe
Tried not to let it show
Everything inside me
You took more than you'll ever know

And now you wonder what went wrong?
How can you wonder? You were wrong
You were wrong

Pieces of man
I'm learning the hard way what I am
Pieces of man
Destroyed, destroyed

Fistful of control
You planted this seed inside
Too many times, too many times
This time you can't deny

You were wrong, you were wrong
You were wrong, you were wrong

Pieces of man
I'm learning the hard way what I am
Pieces of man
Destroy, destroy

I was afraid, I was alone and confused
I was afraid, I was afraid
You were the only love I knew
And I was afraid, afraid

Pieces of man
I'm learning the hard way what I am
Pieces of man
Destroy, destroy

Pieces of man
I'm learning the hard way what I am
Pieces of man
Destroy, destroy

You were wrong, you were wrong
You were wrong, you were wrong

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
