its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
There's a big red sky over you and I
And it's coming and we're pumping over the ground
In desert air I hope you'll be there
Cause it's coming down
Pumping over ground
I've seen car wreck kids walk away from it
Laughed from within
I know these days will end
It's been a long time, a long time
To walk with the mighty
I won't be a martyr
So let me go, let me go
On my own I'll make do with none
I will blame no one
Slept on packing foam
I'll make it all my home
And I'll take on anyone
It's been a long time, a long time
To walk with the mighty
I won't be a martyr
So let me go, let me go
And I'll take on anyone
These days they're not done
The red summer sun
And it's coming and we're pumping over the ground
In desert air I hope you'll be there
Cause it's coming down
Pumping over ground
I've seen car wreck kids walk away from it
Laughed from within
I know these days will end
It's been a long time, a long time
To walk with the mighty
I won't be a martyr
So let me go, let me go
On my own I'll make do with none
I will blame no one
Slept on packing foam
I'll make it all my home
And I'll take on anyone
It's been a long time, a long time
To walk with the mighty
I won't be a martyr
So let me go, let me go
And I'll take on anyone
These days they're not done
The red summer sun

Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
These days won't last, but they're amazing while they do. I don't think you even need to listen to the lyrics to 'get' this song, the music says it all, it hits you right in the stomach. The version with the extended outro is better than sex.
