And then the seasons get you down
I'll come running to tuck you in
Out the window looks like all of the colors
All of them melting down
Been escaping, barely keeps him awake, shivering in your clothes
Frosty glasses cracking into the shades,
tryin' to forget you yet

Hello, hello
You always seem to call and nothing's on
Proceed to memory
Hello, hello
You always seem t forget before we leave the information's in
You're awfully calm and dull
Hello, hello
You're awfully calm, is all
Hello, hello

And when the seasons get you down
I'll come running to tuck you in
And out the window looks like all of the colors, all of them melting down
I hate escaping, barely keeps you awake, shivering in your clothes
My frosty glasses cracking into the shades,
tryin' to forget you, no

Word, fire, wind, hey, eh-oh
And soon, all you'll have is the memory
And then you won't even have that memory
Oh-oh-oh
And soon, all you'll have is the memory
Oh-oh-oh
And then you won't even have that memory
Oh-oh-oh
Until all you'll have is the memory
Oh-oh-oh
And then you won't even have that memory

Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a

    Holy sh** these comments.

    "Been escaping" and "I hate escaping" should be "The heat escaping," hence the shivering.

    Also, I think it's probably "You're awfully cold, is all," in keeping with the lack of heat/shivering theme. Also a nifty double entendre.

    It is definitely heat escaping. I like to think of someone who loves fall time and hates the cold of winter. "And when the seasons get you down" And how the beautiful leaves die and wither. "Out your window looks like all of the colors, all of them melting down." Then winter comes along and the heat escapes, you shiver in your clothes, the glass frosts, and you can barely sleep. I love the melody at the end.

    Deep in winter, youll just have a memory. Late winter, you won't even have the memory. (Of the fall time) "We got just one night" (Left of fall)

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
