This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
November, missed the train and the chance to say what i had to say. I guess it's too perfect how every piece falls into place. And that night your eyes never met mine, you were confused, so was i. And i heard every word you said, I just don't believe them. What are you afraid to break, is it my heart or yours? What can we say, we've said it all and been there and back, I just want to go back. It's all so perfect. Was I more afraid of the truth or a lie, it's better to say it's all wrong than it's all right. Skinner knees and city smiles running through the streets, it's all the same to you. "Unrequieted love's a bore, and I've got it pretty bad, but for someone you adore, it's a pleasure to be sad"(-Billie Holiday, Rogers-Hart). Three little words, "you're killing me"... I'll never know what love is. Lotta walks late at night til I could see your side. As long as you're there I'll be here.
When will I see you again? What can I say? What can I do? Empty promises fulfilled. Pocketful of nothings received. You can cover up your words. They just magically disappear and I'm left with no choice; I move on. What did you expect from me? As i force fed myself. Lying in these fields of grass we planned to sow. Throwing baseballs threw the trees and mending holes. I wanted to love you more than you'll ever know. I never wanted it to end this way. I got in my car knowing you'd never call. It was your prophecy. Didn't I mean anything? Didn't you know I cared? What has friendship become?
This is heaven to me. Nothing's ever felt so right before, did i tell you? Nothing, before now. (Why can't you see?) No, not this again. What will become of us now? I always seem to want what I can't have and now I'm back to where i began. Why? Not this again. Why do I try? I tried. I wish you knew (how I'm really feeling now). Why?
I'm tired, too tired to try. So please, let's just say we don't have to try anymore. They said they would wait for me, but what was left for me? I think I'll take early retirement from the guessing game. When we were young, the games we played.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song

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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I cried listening to/reading the words to this song.
