You know you're really something, yeah
How we get here so damn fast?
Only you could tell me that
Baby, 'cause you know I'm coming back
You're making me forget my past
Never thought I'd feel like that again
I came to peace with my path
Now you got me off track

I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or fly
But I don't mind

Tripping, falling with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

Let your guard down, girl
You know we came too far now, girl
It's time for you to play your part now
You know, we hit that jewelry store and we gon' ball out
Ups and downs, we had some fall outs
Get some ice on you girl, let it thaw out
Girl, you're mine, it's safe to say
At the end of the day

I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or fly
But I don't mind

Tripping, falling with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

Every time you feel some way, feel the way
Never let me run away, run away
Baby, every time you feel some way, feel the way
Never let me run away, run away

Girl you got me tripping, falling with no safety net (baby)
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time or is it in my head? (Is it all in my head)
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

    This standout song off her latest studio album titled 'Positions' was produced by Keys Open Doors, The Rascals & TBHits. It was released on October 30, 2020.

    What the artist means Ariana is collaborating with one of the biggest hitmakers on the planet on this lovely record. She's crooning about a lover that she once had, that's making her forget her past, she's crooning with a vigor that looks like she's hiding her feelings behind a safety net. Ty Dolla Sign struts in and croons about hoping that his girl starts playing her part instead of merely sitting around and waiting for him to do all the work in the relationship. Both artists then break off into a duet about tripping and falling into a safety set (or without one). The track closes out with Ariana singing over the haunting instrumental as she decides not to run away from the feelings she clearly still has for her ex-lover.

    What the song means to me The song is super refreshing as it sees two seemingly impenetrable artists let their guard down and create some well-crafted magic about a safety net. There's nobody that sings about heartbreak like Ariana (well, maybe Taylor Swift) and there's no one that gets hearts soaring like Ty Dolla Sign. That's why this song is the perfect blend between heartbroken and horny, both artists brought their A-game and it led to one of the best tracks of both their careers. It's a superb duet by an all-star duo, makes me wonder why it took so long to come to fruition. I will give this song a rating of 10/10.

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.

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."
