This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You didn't stop to look 'round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way
And no prayer was said
How you left me for dead
You didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
How you left me for dead
And I say, I won't stop, no, 'til Hell is your home
There's nowhere to hide, no, nowhere
You'll feel the cold of my gun at your head
How you left me for dead
And it's not like you stayed by my side
Or you called me a priest
You searched through my mouth
To check for gold teeth
You were pawning my shoes as I bled
You left me for, left me for, left me for dead
You kept on takin' your time
Until it was certain I couldn't survive
Judas remained, you turned and fled
How you left me for dead
And it didn't trouble your mind
It did not disturb you to see me decline
You turned out my lights, you put me to bed
How you left me for dead
And I say, I won't rest my head until Hell is your home
You think that you're safe, but oh no
You'll feel the cold of my gun hit your head
How you left me for dead
And you didn't stay close to me, didn't stay by my side
I was choking in blood as the laugh filled your eyes
You were a bum for each word that you said
'Cause you left me for, left me for, left me for dead
But I don't wanna search no more
There's nowhere to hide
So, why don't you come quietly, my love
I wanted to say
To say that you sure proved the death of me
'Cause now I've reached a dead end
And I can't go back
But if I'm going down, you'll come with me
'Cause you didn't stop to look 'round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way and no prayer was said
How you left me for dead
'Cause you didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside and no tears were shed
How you left me for dead
Oh, and we'll move shoulder to shore the light
Whispered in grey by the side of the light
I know each word that was said
How you left me for dead
Oh, assemble the people inside of the light
Let us go wrong on the side of the light
I know each word that was said
How you left me for dead, oh
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way
And no prayer was said
How you left me for dead
You didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
How you left me for dead
And I say, I won't stop, no, 'til Hell is your home
There's nowhere to hide, no, nowhere
You'll feel the cold of my gun at your head
How you left me for dead
And it's not like you stayed by my side
Or you called me a priest
You searched through my mouth
To check for gold teeth
You were pawning my shoes as I bled
You left me for, left me for, left me for dead
You kept on takin' your time
Until it was certain I couldn't survive
Judas remained, you turned and fled
How you left me for dead
And it didn't trouble your mind
It did not disturb you to see me decline
You turned out my lights, you put me to bed
How you left me for dead
And I say, I won't rest my head until Hell is your home
You think that you're safe, but oh no
You'll feel the cold of my gun hit your head
How you left me for dead
And you didn't stay close to me, didn't stay by my side
I was choking in blood as the laugh filled your eyes
You were a bum for each word that you said
'Cause you left me for, left me for, left me for dead
But I don't wanna search no more
There's nowhere to hide
So, why don't you come quietly, my love
I wanted to say
To say that you sure proved the death of me
'Cause now I've reached a dead end
And I can't go back
But if I'm going down, you'll come with me
'Cause you didn't stop to look 'round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way and no prayer was said
How you left me for dead
'Cause you didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside and no tears were shed
How you left me for dead
Oh, and we'll move shoulder to shore the light
Whispered in grey by the side of the light
I know each word that was said
How you left me for dead
Oh, assemble the people inside of the light
Let us go wrong on the side of the light
I know each word that was said
How you left me for dead, oh

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
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/
