This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have no fingertips
They were burned away from too many stove trips
Can't find no fingernails
I ate them off cause I was hungry as hell
Can't read, can't clear my mind
So here I go I've got to get into this lifetime
I think I'm gonna build a fence
To keep inside what little sense
The sense of taste
The sense of smell
The sense to sit here and feel like hell
To feel like hell
The sun, the moon, the stars
Is that what you're thinking that you are
As I'll disintegrate over time
If I expect my body to try and keep up with my mind
Today everything's mine
Today everything's mine
Today everything's mine
(That was fine)
They were burned away from too many stove trips
Can't find no fingernails
I ate them off cause I was hungry as hell
Can't read, can't clear my mind
So here I go I've got to get into this lifetime
I think I'm gonna build a fence
To keep inside what little sense
The sense of taste
The sense of smell
The sense to sit here and feel like hell
To feel like hell
The sun, the moon, the stars
Is that what you're thinking that you are
As I'll disintegrate over time
If I expect my body to try and keep up with my mind
Today everything's mine
Today everything's mine
Today everything's mine
(That was fine)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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
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.
mikus-fikus... HUH?? Anyway... Very very catchy song which is a bit disturbing considering what it is about! They sure had a way of turning something terrible into a catchy little tune you can't stop singing huh? So, whiffet i agree with you 100%. I've been there myself. The "I have no fingertips..stove trips" made me think of burning and blistering your fingertips on glass tubes that are still hot from the last go... And no fingernails.. well.. you're mind is not at all hungry but your body wants to eat, plus you're wired for sound so you just eat your fingernails to the nub until they almost bleed!! I agree about the disentegrate part too. It's like you just get to the point when you look back and you haven't slept in six days, your eyes are all bloodshot, and your speech is slurring. But your brain is still RACING. I don't miss that life, and I can tell by the lyrics of this song (which was one of the last that Shannon got the chance to write) that Shannon was tired of the game as well. He just couldn't get out by himself. Makes you want to scream at everyone around him to HELP HIM. Screw the Soup tour, do it later. He could've come out with so much more!!! :( RIP hoon. :(
Whaat? When you make tortillas on an open stove fire, you have to quickly turn them so you don't burn your fingers. Not saying that is what he was intending to mean in this song, but there are other possiblilities and isn't difinitiely about drugs. Not every song is about drugs and even if the artist is intentionally describing such a situation, the listener can take the song to mean anything and that is what art is so please be more creative.
Instead of being a worthless crack addict, he could simply be a worthless book addict. Afterall, he does say, "can't read, can't clear my mind" meaning he possibly wasted an entire day reading and contemplating such matters like "the sun, the moon, the stars" and how his body will "disentigrate over time" and eventually become them. Yes, he wasted the day away, "today everythings mine" and his body sits while his mind is everywhere. <br /> <br /> Hey, don't fork with me, do you not see the humor? Geez!
