Hi-hat
A hi-hat, also spelled hihat, is a type of cymbal and stand used as a typical part of a drum kit by percussionists in rhythm and blues, hip-hop, disco, jazz, metal, rock and roll, house, reggae and other forms of contemporary popular music. It is a standard part of the modern drum kit. The hi-hat consists of two cymbals that are mounted on a stand, one on top of the other, and a pedal which can be used to clash and hold the cymbals together. Open and closed hi-hat refer to notes struck while the two cymbals are apart or together (open or closed), while pedal hi-hat refers to parts or notes played solely with the pedal used to strike the two cymbals. Most cymbal patterns consist of both open and closed notes.

Tripod (photography)
In photography, a tripod is used to stabilize and elevate a camera, a flash unit, or other photographic equipment. All photographic tripods have three legs and a mounting head to couple with a camera. The mounting head usually includes a thumbscrew that mates to a female threaded receptacle on the camera, as well as a mechanism to be able to rotate and tilt the camera when it is mounted on the tripod. Tripod legs are usually made to telescope, in order to save space when not in use. Tripods are usually made from aluminum, carbon fiber, steel, wood or plastic.
Usage
Tripods are used for both still and motion photography to prevent camera movement. They are necessary when slow-speed exposures are being made, or when lenses of extreme focal length are used, as any camera movement while the shutter is open will produce a blurred image. In the same vein, they reduce camera shake, and thus are instrumental in achieving maximum sharpness. A tripod is also helpful in achieving precise framing of the image, or when more than one image is being made of the same scene, for example when bracketing the exposure. Use of a tripod may also allow for a more thoughtful approach to photography. For all of these reasons a tripod of some sort is often necessary for professional photography as well as certain video uses. Tripods are also used as an alternative to C-Stands to photographic accessories.

=======
I never said those words
I'm going up that mountain now
Let earth go away, let cold wind blow
Because I cannot save them now
And this is my regret
That's coming down all over me
It drinks to drown in words in seas
But it only makes them rule again
[1st version chorus]: Go away, go away, go away I said
Go away, go away, go away I'm trying to sleep
Go away, go away, go away I said
[2nd version chorus]: I wish your mountains
I wish your mountains were gone
I wish you'd go, I wish you'd go
I used to think that there were other worlds
But I'm the only one that he said
So they are only in my head again...only
I have these words that are so hard
that I am working all the day
In everything I come to say
I build a shadow of him
He is afraid again
He says he is afraid again
It's coming down in tears of rain
And it will make them rule again
I spend my life in the worries he said
[1st version chorus]
