This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I got no reason for the things I fear
The things that plague me when I see and hear
A dime's a nickel and a nickel's none
I'll throw myself into the Sunday sun
A summer Sunday when you went insane
You said you're going and I said I came
I'm throwing oranges in an apple cart
The ties that bind are tearing me apart
[Chorus]
Jenny says turn off the radio
Jenny says turn out the light
Jenny says turn off the video
You beat yourself up to bring yourself down
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
When the world is coming down on me I let it go!
I got no reason for the things I say
She turned toward me then she turned away
There's lot of forces in a modern world
That take a toll upon a modern girl
I got no reason for the things I fear
The things that plague me when I see and hear
I'll press my finger on an itchy trigger
What once was small right now is so much bigger
[Chorus]
I got no reason for the things I do
The dealer deals and then the dealer's screwed
You throw your cards upon a playing table
My name is Cain and I am now unable
I got no reason for the things I fear
The things that plague me when I see and hear
A dime's a nickel and a nickel's none
I'll throw myself into the Sunday sun
Jenny says turn off the radio
Jenny says turn out the light
Jenny says turn off the video
You beat yourself up because you LOVE it!
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
When the world is coming down on me I let it go!
The things that plague me when I see and hear
A dime's a nickel and a nickel's none
I'll throw myself into the Sunday sun
A summer Sunday when you went insane
You said you're going and I said I came
I'm throwing oranges in an apple cart
The ties that bind are tearing me apart
[Chorus]
Jenny says turn off the radio
Jenny says turn out the light
Jenny says turn off the video
You beat yourself up to bring yourself down
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
When the world is coming down on me I let it go!
I got no reason for the things I say
She turned toward me then she turned away
There's lot of forces in a modern world
That take a toll upon a modern girl
I got no reason for the things I fear
The things that plague me when I see and hear
I'll press my finger on an itchy trigger
What once was small right now is so much bigger
[Chorus]
I got no reason for the things I do
The dealer deals and then the dealer's screwed
You throw your cards upon a playing table
My name is Cain and I am now unable
I got no reason for the things I fear
The things that plague me when I see and hear
A dime's a nickel and a nickel's none
I'll throw myself into the Sunday sun
Jenny says turn off the radio
Jenny says turn out the light
Jenny says turn off the video
You beat yourself up because you LOVE it!
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
When the world is coming down on me I let it go!

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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
Well, since no one has a meaning to the song, I guess I will go first. The title has nothing to do with the meaning; rather the song is just about how hard life is if we choose to make it that way. Or let it be that way. 20 percent of life is what happens to you; the other 80 percent is how you deal with it.
Thank you penguinjeff , I just got enlightened to this song a short time ago and came here looking to see if I could find a reason here why this song is really growing on me. I don't know why, but was almost feeling like just quitting on life (not totally, just like, sigh) anyways, my friend i was IM'ing with at that time had thrown out this song as a possible karaoke pick. So I qued it up on my pc and looked up the lyrics and was just almost locked on the screen as i listened to the song and read the lyrics. I felt like I wasn't alone for a brief moment. I know it probably doesn't make sense, I'm not doing a good job of wording things properly. But I digress, the song just totally made me a bit happy. Because like I wrote before, I was feeling like crap on life and this song changed that for me. If at least for a moment. lol
I also apologize for not being able to add a meaning to the song, but I'll need a bit more time to put my answer together for that. I'm sorry.
@Snowdog2112Rob Your comment makes perfect sense to me. I personally believe art is always up for interpretation.
I first heard this song briefly on the show Daria, I've had a thing for it since then. Basically the general sound of the song has me intrigued, and I'm thinking penguinjeff's interpretation of it sounds reasonably right. I'm too tired to make my own however.
cowboy mouth is amazing live. although fred tends to talk a lot to get he crowd in to it, when they play, it's mindblowing.
I agree, there is NO better live show than Cowboy Mouth, especially a Cowboy Mouth show at Jazzfest in New Orleans, Louisiana where they got their start!
dude great band i love them live although the bass lines are a little simple
I COULDNT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS SONG, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH WHOEVER POSTED THESE LYRICS!!!!!!
it's def. jenny, not janie.
I don't why, but I really like this song. It is not JANIE! Trust me. This song is addictive like no other.
Snowdog2112Rob, you make total sense. :)
This was the first Cowboy Mouth song a former friend introduced me to, and I loved it. I was hooked from the start. The song seems to be about letting go of your fears - even for a little while - and enjoying life.
