The color of my hair is changing, my skin is soft
Too soft for a man my age, and I am never alone
Where is time taking me
Nothin' is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
How did this end up me against you
With everything that I say, and everything you do
Your smile is changing yea, where is time taking you
'Cause nothing is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
If you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Hey by the way, when I fell to your
Waste side, did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up
To your waste side did I hurt you or just slide in
So this is how it feels to get a little older
And some would say wiser
But we know what that means, maybe not
When maybe that's what that means, maybe not
'Cause nothing is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
If you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Hey by the way, when I fell to your
Waste side, did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up
To your waste side did I hurt you or just slide in

    Train came out during some rocky relationships. This song goes with the theme of most of the album.

    Blind represents a relationship headed down hill. The man knows that. He knows that this is not going to work out. Her smile is changing. He can tell she is just tolerating the relationship. He knows she's just "doing time" a term to mean that he knows that for her this rleationship is a prison.
    While she is miserable he is not letting his show. Turnign a blind eye to the problems. As with most of the songs on this album, hoping that things will be better. It's tearing him up. He feels older. It's wearing on him.

    well, its fairly obvious what he is talking about. Growing old before his time, also being alone. It is a heart wrenching song that will resonate deeply w/ everyone at one point in their lives or another.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
