Bir Dönemin Yankısı: The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses (1989)

1989 yılında yayınlanan bu albüm, sadece bir müzik kaydı değil, aynı zamanda ruhani bir başkaldırının ve özgüvenin vücut bulmuş halidir. **The Stone Roses**, daha ilk notalardan itibaren dinleyiciyi atmosferik bir dünyaya davet ederken, içerdiği lirik derinlik ile kendini adanmışlık, hayal kırıklığı ve yeniden doğuş kavramları arasında gidip gelen bir labirente hapsetmektedir. Bu albüm, kendi evrenini yaratan ve dış dünyaya karşı duvarlarını yükselten, içine kapalı ama bir o kadar da dışavurumcu bir başyapıttır.

### I Wanna Be Adored

* **Ana Tema:** Şöhret, arzu ve ilahi bir özgüven.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Albümün açılışını yapan bu parça, bir tür "kendi kendini kutsama" manifestosudur. Ruhunu satmaya gerek duymayan, kendi içinde halihazırda mutlak bir gücü barındıran bir anlatıcıyla karşılaşırız. "I wanna be adored" (Adore edilmek istiyorum) cümlesi, basit bir şöhret arzusundan ziyade, mutlak bir kabul görme ihtiyacını simgeler.

### She Bangs The Drums

* **Ana Tema:** Yeni bir uyanış ve yoğun duygu durumu.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Fiziksel bir uyanışı ve çevredeki değişimi konu alır. "The past was yours, but the future's mine" (Geçmiş sizindi, ama gelecek benim) dizeleri, albümün genelindeki o kararlı ve iddialı duruşun en keskin ifadesidir. Ritmin yükseldiği noktalar, anlatıcının aşka veya hayatın akışına duyduğu kontrolsüz hayranlığı temsil eder.

### Waterfall

* **Ana Tema:** Özgürleşme ve arınma.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Bir "şelale" metaforu üzerinden, kirlerden ve geçmişin ağırlığından kurtulma süreci anlatılır. "She's a waterfall" (O bir şelale) tanımlaması, kontrol edilemez ve doğal bir güce işaret eder. Şarkı, acı verici anılardan arınarak okyanusa doğru akıp gitmeyi, engelleri aşmayı betimler.

### Don't Stop

* **Ana Tema:** Gizem, içsel çatışma ve anlık imgeler.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Sözlerin parçalı yapısı, zihinsel bir bulanıklığı yansıtır. "Isn't it funny how you shine?" (Parlaman komik değil mi?) sorusu, hem alaycı hem de hayranlık dolu bir ton taşır. İnsan doğasındaki kusurlara ve zayıflıklara dair sorgulamalar, şarkının genelindeki huzursuz atmosferi besler.

### Bye Bye Badman

* **Ana Tema:** İntikam, başkaldırı ve kişisel hesaplaşma.

* **Lirik Analizi:** "Bye bye badman" (Güle güle kötü adam) ifadesi, otoriteye veya kişinin hayatını kısıtlayan tüm figürlere karşı bir rest çekmedir. Şarkıdaki taş atma eylemi ve "make you bleed" (seni kanatacağım) tehdidi, bastırılmış bir öfkenin dışavurumunu simgeler. Kişisel bir özgürleşme hikayesidir.

### Elizabeth My Dear

* **Ana Tema:** Keskin bir isyan ve siyasi/kişisel nefret.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Albümün en kısa ama en sert parçasıdır. Geleneksel yapıya ve monarşiye karşı duyulan derin öfke, "It's curtains for you" (Senin için son perde) sözleriyle doruğa ulaşır. Adaletin sağlanması için yıkımın gerekli olduğu inancını barındırır.

### (Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister

* **Ana Tema:** Karmaşık ilişkiler ve sevginin ağırlığı.

* **Lirik Analizi:** "Sugar spun sister" (Şekerden örülmüş kız kardeş) tasviri, kırılganlığı ve masumiyeti temsil eder. Ancak şarkı, bu masumiyetin altında yatan karmaşık duyguları, kişisel fedakarlıkları ve "verilenlerin" yükünü sorgular.

### Made Of Stone

* **Ana Tema:** Yalnızlık, gözlem ve soğuk gerçeklik.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Şehrin soğukluğu ve insanların birbirine karşı olan duyarsızlığı üzerinden ilerler. "Are you made of stone?" (Taştan mı yapıldın?) sorusu, duygusuzlaşmış bir dünyaya karşı bir sitemdir. Yanan arabalar ve soğuk sokaklar, modern insanın içsel boşluğunu yansıtan görsel metaforlardır.

### Shoot You Down

* **Ana Tema:** Tükenmişlik ve bağları koparma.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Bir zamanlar değer verilen bir bağın, kişiyi boğmaya başlaması ve artık son noktanın konulması anlatılır. "It started to choke me" (Beni boğmaya başladı) ifadesi, sevginin nasıl bir zorunluluğa dönüştüğünü vurgular.

### This Is The One

* **Ana Tema:** Kader, anın gelip çatması ve beklenti.

* **Lirik Analizi:** "This is the one" (İşte o bu) diyerek, beklenen büyük anın veya kişinin hayatındaki dönüm noktasının geldiği ilan edilir. Şarkı, bir şeylerin "doğru" ya da "yanlış" gitme ihtimaline rağmen, o ana olan kesin bir inancı yansıtır.

### I Am The Resurrection

* **Ana Tema:** Yeniden doğuş, ego ve mutlak ayrılık.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Albümün görkemli finali, anlatıcının kendi küllerinden yeniden doğuşunu kutlar. "I am the resurrection and I am the life" (Ben dirilişim ve hayatım) ifadesi, kişinin kendi yaşamı üzerindeki tam hakimiyetini ilan ettiği nihai noktadır. Geçmişten gelen tüm yükler, bu şarkıyla tamamen reddedilir ve geride bırakılır.

"She Bangs The Drums"

I can feel the earth begin to move

I hear my needle hit the groove

And spiral through another day

I hear my song begin to say

Kiss me where the sun don't shine

The past was yours

But the future's mine

You're all out of time

I don't feel too steady on my feet

I feel hollow I feel weak

Passion fruit and holy bread

Fill my guts and ease my head

Through the early morning sun

I can see her here she comes

She bangs the drums

Have you seen her have you heard

The way she plays there are no words

To describe the way I feel

How could it ever come to pass

She'll be the first she'll be the last

To describe the way I feel

The way I feel

Have you seen her have you heard

The way she plays there are no words

To describe the way I feel

How could it ever come to pass

She'll be the first she'll be the last

To describe the way I feel

The way I feel

Have you seen her have you heard

The way she plays there are no words

To describe the way I feel

How could it ever come to pass

She'll be the first she'll be the last

To describe the way I feel

The way I feel

"Waterfall"

Chimes sing Sunday morn

Today's the day she's sworn

To steal what she never could own

And race from this hole she calls home

Now you're at the wheel

Tell me how, how does it feel?

So good to have equalised

To lift up the lids of your eyes

As the miles they disappear

See land begin to clear

Free from the filth and the scum

This American satellite's won

She'll carry on through it all

She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all

She's a waterfall

See the steeple pine

The hills as old as time

Soon to be put to the test

To be whipped by the winds of the west

Stands on shifting sands

The scales held in her hands

The wind it just whips her and wails

And fills up her brigantine sails

She'll carry on through it all

She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all

She's a waterfall

"Don't Stop"

Don't stop

Isn't it funny how you shine?

Don't stop

Isn't it funny how you shine?

Hear the sea spray give

I was with her

We're under the ship so get me over

Now that was me

Listen

Now she fishes now

Listen

There was no one out there we used

There is the news for me useless

Now so much waste

How we'll be teased

Don't stop

Isn't it funny how you shine?

Don't stop

Isn't it funny how you shine?

Oh won't you just ask me

You're an imbecile

What's the matter for everyone I feel

Pain blues singer

He's playing just a guitar

From the top

I wake I still look I feel loose

We're all here now who's the first

Ease into my heart

He must be one of us

Don't stop

Isn't it funny how you shine?

Don't stop

Isn't it funny how you shine?

"Bye Bye Badman"

Soak me to my skin

Will you drown me in your sweet submission

Ends and I begin

Choke me, smoke the air

In this citrus-sucking sunshine, I don't care

You're not all there

Every backbone and heart you break

We'll still come back for more

Submission ends it all

Here he come, got no question, got no love

I'm throwing stones at you, man

I want you black and blue and

I'm gonna make you bleed

Gonna bring you down to your knees

Bye bye badman, ooh bye bye

Choke me, smoke the air

In this citrus-sucking sunshine I don't

Care you're not all there

You've been bought and paid, you're a whore, a slave

Your dock's not a holy shrine

Come taste the end, you're mine

Here he come, got no question got no love

I'm throwing stones at you, man

I want you black and blue and

I'm gonna make you bleed

Gonna bring you down to your knees

Bye bye badman ooh bye bye

I've got bad intentions, I intend to knock you down

These stones I throw, Oh these French kisses

Are the only way I've found...

I've got bad intentions, I intend to knock you down

These stones I throw, Oh these French kisses

Are the only way I've found...

"Elizabeth My Dear"

Tear me apart and boil my bones

I'll not rest

Till she's lost her throne

My aim is true

My message is clear

It's curtains for you

Elizabeth my dear

"(Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister"

Her hair

Soft drifted snow

Death white

I'd like to know

Why she hates

All that she does

But she gives

It all that she's got

Until the sky turns green

The grass is several shades of blue

Every member of parliament trips on glue

Until the sky turns green

And the grass is several shades of blue

Every member of parliament trips on glue

It takes all these things and all that time

Till my sugar spun sister's happy

With this love of mine

It'll take all these things and oh much more

I've paid

For fifteen or more

But my guts

Can't take many more

My hands are stuck

To my jeans

And she knows she knows

What this must mean

She wakes up with the sun

She asked me what is all the fuss

As she gave me more than she thought she should

She wakes up with the sun

I think what have I done

As I gave her more than I thought I would, ohhh

It takes all these things and all that time

Till my sugar spun sister's happy

With this love of mine

Yeah yeah yeah

The candy floss girl

The sticky fingered boy

Oh that sister of mine

Yeah

☆☆☆☆☆

"Made Of Stone"

Your knuckles whiten on the wheel

The last thing that your hands will feel

Your final flight can't be delayed

No earth just sky, it's so serene

Your pink fat lips let go a scream

You fry and melt, I love the scene

Sometimes I fantasize

When the streets are cold and lonely

And the cars they burn below me

Don't these times fill your eyes

When the streets are cold and lonely

And the cars, they burn below me

Are you all alone?

Is anybody home?

I'm standing warm against the cold

Now that the flames have taken hold

At least you left your life in style

And for as far as I can see

Ten twisted grills grin back at me

Bad money dies, I love the scene

Sometimes I fantasize

When the streets are cold and lonely

And the cars, they burn below me

Don't these times

Fill your eyes

When the streets are cold and lonely

And the cars, they burn below me

Are you all alone?

Is anybody home?

Sometimes I fantasize

When the streets are cold and lonely

And the cars, they burn below me

Don't these times

Fill your eyes

When the streets are cold and lonely

And the cars, they burn below me

Are you all alone?

Are you made of stone?

"Shoot You Down"

You know it

You show it

And the time has come

To shoot you down

What a sound

When the day is done

And it all works out

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

You know it

You show it

And the time has come

To shoot you down

What a sound

When the day is done

And it all works out

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

I never wanted

The love that you showed me

It started to choke me

And how I wish I'd said

No too slow

I couldn't take

That too fast

I want you to know

You know it

You show it

But I can't back down

It's far too late

I can't wait

Now the time has come

It'll all work out

And when this

Thing is done

It'll leave no doubt

So when you've

Had your fun

Will you all walk out?

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

"This Is The One"

A girl consumed by fire

We all know her desire

From the plans that she has made

I had her on a promise

Immerse me in your splendour

All the plans that I have made

This is the one

She's waited for

This is the one

Oh this is the one

This is the one

She's waited for

I'd like to leave the country

For a month of Sundays

Burn the town where I was born

If only she'd believe me

Bellona belladonna

Burn me out or bring me home

And this is the one

This is the one

She's waited for

This is the one

Oh this is the one

This is the one

I've waited for

Oh this is the one

This is the one

I've waited for

This is the one

Oh this is the one

This is the one

I've waited for

This is the one

Oh this is the one

This is the one

I've waited for

It may go right

It may go wrong

This is the one

She's waited for

And this is the one

This is the one

She's waited for

And this is the one

Oh this is the one

Ah this is the one

This is the one

I've waited for

"I Am The Resurrection"

Down, down, you bring me down

I hear you knocking down my door

And I can't sleep at night.

Your face it has no place

No room for you inside my house

I need to be alone.

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,

I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.

Turn, turn, I wish you'd learn

There's a time and place for everything

I've got to get it through.

Cut loose 'cause you're no use

I couldn't stand another

Second in your company.

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,

I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.

Stone me why can't you see

You're a no one nowhere washed up baby

Who'd look better dead.

Your tongue is far too long

I don't like the way it sucks and

Slurs upon my every word.

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,

I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.

I am the resurrection and I am the life,

I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like.

I am the resurrection and I am the life,

I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like.
