Car Crash

Our Lady Peace

Tired and jaded
This road is unsafe
Have you been there?
Have you been there?

But time is on your side
You're too stubborn to wait
Are you listening?
Are you listening?

They want you to know
They want you to stay
Oh, it's too much to take
So you're running
Oh, you're running away

But oh
No
It's more than I can bear
Oh
It's more than I can bear

Car crash
Ending your days
At the side of the road
Are you trembling?
Are you trembling?

They'll wake up today
To the papers that say
Oh, well it was too hard to tell
He was swerving
They were swerving
Much too late

But no
But oh
It's more than I can bear
Oh
It's more than I can bear

Oh
It's more than I can bear
Oh
Oh, it's more it's more, more
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha

But oh
Hi-ee-I-ee-I-ee, oh, oh
Hi, it's more than I can bear
Oh
It's more than I can bear
More
More
More
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.
