[Intro: Neil Young]
Never let 'em tell you no

[Verse 1: DRAM]
Stand by the beach
And let's get warm by the fire
I had started this camp
Because I had the desire to spread good vibes
And it changed lives
For the better, better
Know that I've been chasing at the same time
Sand in my toes
And my hands in the sky
I gaze upon the stars
And I simply reply
That with the same thing
That's what we think
But you don't gotta look nowhere near as far to reach me
Off of the shore and into the waves of the water
I spotted souls that were drowning
But didn't want to be bothered
It's just like watching a man
That's about to jump to his death
You gotta stop him from taking that last step
I spotted them by the buoy
Not knowing what they were doing
I jumped right in
Swam to them
And put them onto the movie
Back at the beach
We warmed them up with the fire
And drown their sorrow with love
And waves of thoughts inspired

[Chorus: Neil Young]
Stand up [?]
Turn up your sound
Never let them tell you no
Never let them tell you no

[Verse 2: Neil Young]
I met a man at the end of his road
His pockets were broke
He was addicted to dope
When asked his worth
He couldn't give me a quote
Not 'cause he thought he was priceless
Just that his price was too low
I said, "My brother, from another mother
You gotta free yourself from this chair
And lift yourself from whatever you're under
'Cause you know you got a story to tell

[Chorus: Neil Young]
Stand up [?]
Turn up your sound
Never let them tell you no
Times when profound
No one's around
Never let them tell you no
Never let them tell you no

[Verse 3: DRAM]
I met a woman at the end of her wits
She had taken some scars
And she was swinging, she missed
She tried working so far
That she was ready to quit
And when I asked her worth
Her reply made me sick
I said, "My sister, I'm tryin' to get with ya
Fuck a job
I'll fill you as well
Just change your focus
Still keep working
You just gotta be a boss by yourself

[Chorus: Neil Young]
Stand up [?]
Turn up your sound
Never let them tell you no
Times when profound
No one's around
Never let them tell you no
Never let them tell you no

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
