Lo nuestro duró
Lo que duran dos peces de hielo
En un whisky on the Rocks
En vez de fingir
O, estrellarme una copa de celos
Le dio por reír
De pronto me vi
Como un perro de nadie
Ladrando, a las puertas del cielo
Me dejó un neceser con agravios
La miel en los labios
Y escarcha en el pelo

Tenían razón
Mis amantes
En eso de que, antes
El malo era yo
Con una excepción
Esta vez
Yo quería quererla querer
Y ella no
Así que se fue
Me dejó el corazón
En los huesos
Y yo de rodillas

Desde el taxi
Y, haciendo un exceso
Me tiró dos besos
Uno por mejilla
Y regresé
A la maldición
Del cajón sin su ropa
A la perdición
De los bares de copas
A las cenicientas
De saldo y esquina

Y, por esas ventas
Del fino laina
Pagando las cuentas
De gente sin alma
Que pierde la calma
Con la cocaína
Volviéndome loco
Derrochando
La bolsa y la vida
La fui, poco a poco
Dando por perdida

Y eso que yo
Para no agobiar con
Flores a María
Para no asediarla
Con mi antología
De sábanas frías
Y alcobas vacías
Para no comprarla
Con bisutería
Ni ser el fantoche
Que va, en romería
Con la cofradía

Del santo reproche
Tanto la quería
Que, tardé, en aprender
A olvidarla, diecinueve días
Y quinientas noches

Dijo hola y adiós
Y, el portazo, sonó
Como un signo de interrogación
Sospecho que, así
Se vengaba, a través del olvido
Cupido de mi
No pido perdón
¿Para qué? Si me va a perdonar
Porque ya no le importa
Siempre tuvo la frente muy alta
La lengua muy larga
Y la falda muy corta
Me abandonó
Como se abandonan
Los zapatos viejos
Destrozó el cristal
De mis gafas de lejos
Sacó del espejo
Su vivo retrato

Y, fui, tan torero
Por los callejones
Del juego y el vino
Que, ayer, el portero
Me echó del casino
De Torrelodones
Qué pena tan grande
Negaría el santo sacramento
En el mismo momento
Que ella me lo mande
Y eso que yo

Para no agobiar con
Flores a María
Para no asediarla
Con mi antología
De sábanas frías
Y alcobas vacías
Para no comprarla
Con bisutería
Ni ser el fantoche
Que va, en romería
Con la cofradía
Del santo reproche

Tanto la quería
Que, tardé, en aprender
A olvidarla, diecinueve días
Y quinientas noches
Y regresé
A la maldición
Del cajón sin su ropa
A la perdición
De los bares de copas
A las cenicientas
De saldo y esquina
Y, por esas ventas
Del fino laina
Pagando las cuentas
De gente sin alma
Que pierde la calma

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
