I don't want you to try and save me,
No I don't want you at all,
If we're through, then you don't blame me,
'Cause that won't do at all

If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode

You've no time to reconcile me,
There's no time left to call,
And I'll take my share, and then I'll vanish,
I want my share, that's all.

If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode

Can't complain, I feel sly
You can get up and go

I don't want you to try and save me,
No I don't want you at all

If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode
If you talk too much my head will explode

Explode, explode

    Good song. I'm not sure if he says sly or something else.

    Sounds like the guy is dumping the girl cuz she just won't shut the fuck up.

    I think he says 'fine' instead of 'sly.

    The lyric book for the album says:

    "Can't complain, it feels like You can get up and go"

    Also, during the second chorus, "Can you see the man is down And all he had has crashed to the ground" is overlapped. At least thats what this booklet says. This song gave me the impression that the girl has broken up with him and wants to keep in touch, or at least talk to him. He just wants to move on.

    The guy dropped the girl and he's bored of hearing her talking too much. He only wants his part of the share and go away, alone.

    Basically, he's saying if it's really over then just let it be over. He doesn't give a fuck about talking about things, he just wants closure and freedom. Apparently she wasn't there when she should've been, and now it's too little too late.

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."

Plastic Bag
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.
