Won't you please be strong for me?
I know it's been a while
And there's really no excuse
I just, I found it hard to watch your health decrease

Soon as I learned that you're one of my best friends
It was a, a quick hello and it was goodbye
Goodbye again

Josephine
Josephine
Will you know how much you meant to me?
I'm really trying hard to do the best I can
I want to right all these wrongs and be absolved of all my sins

So when the organ plays
And I'm lifeless in that bed
I can go at peace knowing
That I'll see you again
See you again

And I've thought about you since your final goodbye
It's just something I do to help pass the time
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
It's so much better than just sitting here waiting to die

I'm so sick of goodbyes

Little boy blue went and lost his way
He prayed all night for his soul to be saved
But when he finally woke he had a cross of his own
That he nailed to his back and he couldn't let go

You can do it once
You can do it twice
You can do it too much
Then you die inside
But there won't be a funeral, won't be a grave
Just a tiny little blurb on the very last page

It starts with a hit
It'll end with a bang
Next thing you know you're at the bottom of the bag
And you won't feel the pressure, you won't feel the pain
But your life will burn up like a Hollywood flame

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
It's so much better than just sitting here waiting to die

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
