It's like loving a lion that cannot be tamed
I snap at the thought or the sound of your name
Pulling teeth from my stomach you've been eaten alive
My blood fills your lungs, my soul your inside

My feet they stand on ashes
From the fires that you've made
Burning bridges
Just to save your face

If I say I wouldn't be hostile
Could you say you would do the same
If we're all made just a little bit broken
Tell me who is to blame
Tell me who is to blame

I'm sensing a feeling picking wounds of regret
That left alone there's no scarring ill dig and ill dig
Scratching and itching I'll keep biting my lip
From this pain that I'm feeling
Picking wounds of regret
A cut cannot heal
Unless you leave it alone
I'll open mine daily
Leaving bones exposed

Exposed!

If I say I wouldn't be hostile
Could you say you would do the same
If we're all made just a little bit broken
Tell me who is to blame
Tell me who is to blame

To blame!

Standing on ashes from the fires you've made
Burning your bridges just to save your face

Wounds of regret

If I say I wouldn't be hostile
Could you say you would do the same
If we're all made just a little bit broken
Tell me who is to blame
Tell me who is to blame

To blame!

We're broken, imperfect
We were all made the same
We're broken, we're broken, imperfect
We are all to, blame!

    My Interpretation

    Ok so this song is basically about this guy who fears something that's different and he hostile to him. The song this in "If I say I wouldn't be hostile Could you say you would do the same" The screaming part describes the things they would do for him and he still calls them hostile because they're "Broken" Song: "If we're all made just a little bit broken Then tell me who is to blame" This part says it's not their fault they're broken. This is kind of like how people judge depressed people. It's not their fault they're like that and most people are afraid and hostile.

    My Interpretation

    (It's like loving a lion that cannot be tamed)This is about a guy who is in love with a girl who he can't be with. He loves her but she doesn't feel the same.

    (I snap at the thought or the sound of your name) When people talk about her he snaps.

    (Pulling teeth from my stomach) The sinking in his stomach, the knots and pain in his stomach from thinking bout her.

    (My feet they stand on ashes, from the fires that you've made, burning bridges, just to save your face) He stands on what he has left of whatever they were. She caused all this pain just to save her image.

    (If I say I wouldn't be hostile, could you say you would do the same) If he won't be rude or negative in any way he asks her if she won't be rude or anything like that either.

    (I'm sensing a feeling picking wounds of regret) He is picking away at her regrets for hurting him, trying to get her to explain why.

    (That left alone there's no scarring ill dig and ill dig) He won't stop he will continue until he gets the answers

    (A cut cannot heal, Unless you leave it alone, I'll open mine daily, Leaving bones exposed) He explains ho you can't fix damage unless you forget about it, if you think about it, it's like not letting cuts heal.

    (If we're all made just a little bit broken, Tell me who is to blame) He can't fix that he's different, if she wants to him to change but he is who he is. She an't bla.e him for hat so he asks, who is to blame?

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."
