there's a field of flowers, and they smell like you
and i go walking through them
well, if you remember me
you know i'd love to pick one, for my lapel
but you know, there's too many insects watching
i'm afraid they'll tell on me

and here the skies another day, no a night
in this place where i close my eyes
it's like my skin to try so hard to hold it back
there's an explosion it comes raining down
you smiled, you smiled at me

anastasia, you're disappearance is the thorn in my side
anastasia, you know your absence is the thorn in my side

i think about you every night and every day
every moment sence you left here
you were the one that got away
as they say, everyone has an anastasia

anastasia, you're disappearance is the thorn in my side
anastasia, you know your absence is the thorn in my side

i kept your room just how you left it
there's not a toy out of sight
just in case the fates are kind
and you come back to me
i don't wanna live without my little anastasia

anastasia, you're disappearance is the thorn in my side
little anastasia, you know you're absence is the thorn in my side
little anastasia, you're disappearance is the thorn in my side
little anastasia, and only you can take the thorn from my side.

    It is likely a song about having loved and lost using the disappearance of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia as an analogy. To learn more, see wikipedia.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.
