This is the story about Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa

Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a little story to tell
About Mona Lisa and how she suddenly fell
See everyone knew her, they knew her oh so well
Now I am taking over to release her from her spell

She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone

It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
She's been gone, she's been gone, she's been gone

She was taken under drowning in her sea
Running like an angel, she was crying and could not see, oh no
Now see everyone's watching as she starts to fall
They want her to breakdown be a legend of her fall

She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone

It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
She's been gone, she's been gone, she's been gone

Ladies does that make you cry?
Mona Lisa's got to fly, nobody really dies
Everyone, may we have a moment of silence right here
God

She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone

It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
That she's home, that she's home

She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone

It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
That she's home, that she's home, that she's home

    She didnt sing it on tour- she wrote the song whilst jamming with her band in a soundcheck for the tour.

    The song is almsot defineatly about her. And in its own way its autobiographical, and it basically conveys how she was this manipulated little...almost 'puppet' earlier, and it seems like she's shedding that skin and really being herself, its almost the 'death' of Britney and the 'birth' of Mona Lisa. 'Now i am taking voer to release her from her spell'- she's taking control of her life and career now.

    And just a correction, the real lyrics are "she was taken under, drowning in her SEA" not seat!

    This song is very different from the rest of her material. I think It's definitely about her and pretty damn accurate as well. I hope she get's her life sorted, no matter what anyone says she's got talent and she's gorgeous. People are just jumping on the bandwagon and trying to bring her down, so they'll look good. I mean the people that are saying stuff about her couldnt deal with what she deals with for a week and they're complaining about her. Its ridiculous.

    Theres just somehting about this song that makes me love it.. I think it's the whole slightly talking/slightly singing thing that I love.

    I wonder who the "Mona Lisa" really is?

    Id I didn't know any better, I'd have to say that Britney is talking about herself.

    Also, I heard she did this song while on her Onyx Hotel tour.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
