He certainly did earn that reputation.
caught in my life this time
i'll swear off future crimes
lighten my soul
and i'll give up everything
then kick the bite (?) the scream
--- --- home
i'll wing it back to front
i'll wing it front to back
i want to feel this again
just like the heart attack
i want to make it good
i want to make it pure
make it right
caught in my life this time
'cause i'm so hardwired
to be alone
and we were everything
no i'm just kidding
don't want to know
and my --- goes out to it
my limbs are inside out
this voice is in my head
it's like a --- shout
but i can't turn it off
but i can turn it down
i'll make it quiet
ooh ooh ahhhh
i want to know
if you're gonna be a restless soul
then you're gonna be so so tired
if you're gonna keep me up all night
then you better learn to --- this fire
if you're gonna be a restless soul
then you're gonna be so so tired
if you're gonna give up on this fight
then i'm gonna call you a liar
i'll swear off future crimes
lighten my soul
and i'll give up everything
then kick the bite (?) the scream
--- --- home
i'll wing it back to front
i'll wing it front to back
i want to feel this again
just like the heart attack
i want to make it good
i want to make it pure
make it right
caught in my life this time
'cause i'm so hardwired
to be alone
and we were everything
no i'm just kidding
don't want to know
and my --- goes out to it
my limbs are inside out
this voice is in my head
it's like a --- shout
but i can't turn it off
but i can turn it down
i'll make it quiet
ooh ooh ahhhh
i want to know
if you're gonna be a restless soul
then you're gonna be so so tired
if you're gonna keep me up all night
then you better learn to --- this fire
if you're gonna be a restless soul
then you're gonna be so so tired
if you're gonna give up on this fight
then i'm gonna call you a liar

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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 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."
From the album sleeve:
Pardon my life this time I'll swear off future crimes Lighten my soul I'll give up everything The kick, the bite, the scream Be tame and old I want to go back to front I want to go front to back I want to feel this again Just like a heart attack I want to make it pure I want to make it good And make it right
Pardon my life this time 'cause I am so hardwired To be alone You want to know everything But you are just kidding Don't want to know My blood flows out to in My nerves are inside out This voice is in my head It's like a bark, a shout But I can't turn it off I can't turn it down Or make it quiet
If you're gonna be a restless soul Then you're gonna be so, so tired If you're gonna keep me up all night Then you better learn to love this fire If you're gonna be a restless soul Then you're gonna be so, so tired If you're gonna give up on the fight Then I'm gonna call you a liar
