Ég Læt Mig Líða Áfram
Í Gegnum Hausinn
Hugsa Hálfa Leið
Afturábak
Sé Sjálfan Mig Syngja Fagnaðarerindið
Sem Við Sömdum Saman
Við Áttum Okkur Draum
Áttum Allt
Við Riðum Heimsendi
Við Riðum Leitandi
Klifruðum Skýjakljúfa
Sem Síðar Sprungu Upp
Friðurinn Úti
Ég Lek Jafnvægi
Dett Niður
Alger Þögn
Ekkert Svar
En Það Besta Sem Guð Hefur Skapað
Er Nýr Dagur
Í Gegnum Hausinn
Hugsa Hálfa Leið
Afturábak
Sé Sjálfan Mig Syngja Fagnaðarerindið
Sem Við Sömdum Saman
Við Áttum Okkur Draum
Áttum Allt
Við Riðum Heimsendi
Við Riðum Leitandi
Klifruðum Skýjakljúfa
Sem Síðar Sprungu Upp
Friðurinn Úti
Ég Lek Jafnvægi
Dett Niður
Alger Þögn
Ekkert Svar
En Það Besta Sem Guð Hefur Skapað
Er Nýr Dagur

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.
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."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Ever see the video for this? It might just be my favourite video of all time.
Pitchforkmedia.com described this album as "soul-crushingly beautiful." I think this song is the perfect example of that. Without a doubt my favorite track off Agaetis Byrjun. It gives me shivers every single time I hear it.
At first I was shaken by the ending, but clearly that's intentional. It's as if you've been lifted up and completely disoriented. As you grasp at the air, trying to find the beat again (for the drums have receeded into the background), you're dropped. The song is over.
Music this stunning is so rare! I just can't say enough good things about this band.
i totally love the ending........been trying to find a way to reproduce that kind of discord in my music but it just ends up like a mess. i don't think the lyrics matter all that much, the beaty and sould of the music transcends language barriers
That song quite simply amazed me. The music takes over you, transports you. The best combination of piano and strings I can remember in any song, and Jonsi's voice adds a sense of harmony. But then, you find yourself trapped in a cold storm that just seems to get bigger and bigger, and there it ends, in a huge cataclysm. Almost made me crazy... and I felt disturbed and almost cried. Very overwhelming. The video clip was good too, although it created a big controversy about homosexuality and media ethics when it was first released. I found the video to be excellent.
Mode000, pull your homophobic head out of your homophobic and ignorant ass. this music is poetry beyond what this earth seems possible, the music video brings me to tears everytime I see it. The song it great enough without the visual aide, I go back and fourth.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Good Weather For Airstrikes
I Slide Myself Forward Through My Head I Think Half Way Backwards See Myself Sing The Anthem That We Wrote Together We Had A Dream We Had Everything We Rode To The End Of The World We Rode Searching Climbed Skyscrapers That Later Exploded The Peace Was Out I Leak Balance Fall Down Total Silence No Answer But The Best Thing God Has Created Is A New Day
I figured a context-based translation from Icelandic to English would be best for maximum clarification of this song.<br /> <br /> Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa (A context-based English translation)<br /> <br /> I let myself flow onwards.<br /> I swim through my mind back and forth.<br /> My soul still sings the song we once wrote together.<br /> We once had a dream.<br /> We had everything.<br /> We rode to the end of the world.<br /> We rode on searching.<br /> We climbed skyscrapers but they were all destroyed.<br /> The peace is gone now.<br /> I lack balance.<br /> I fall down.<br /> Still I let myself flow onwards.<br /> I swim through my mind but I always come back to the same place.<br /> There is nothing left to say.<br /> This is for the best.<br /> God will provide a day for us<br /> tomorrow.
the context based translation kind of reminds me of Cob in the movie Inception. his character is still stuck on Mal, his wife who died. they once had a dream together. and when they were stuck in limbo they built a world together, building skyscrapers that were then destroyed. after her death he lacks balance but still has to move on. in his dreams he always "comes back to the same place" aka Mal. and in the end he has to do something about it to either get over her or be in limbo with her forever. just a thought...
I never thought about that, but now that you point it out, I'd have to agree. Huh, pretty cool....
I find it impossible to decide which track on Ågaetis Byrjun is the best, but this is certainly a highlight. Excellent video, too.
the video is amazing and so is the song.
Perfection. The music video is so cataclysmic, it's amazing. One of those songs where the music fits with the video. Like a movie giving justice to the book.
The video is absolutely incredible. I was so shaken up by the end of it, that I was nearly in tears.
My favorite song on the album too.
