This Is Our Time

In My Eyes

You think I'm living in the past
Living out something long gone
But what's so wrong with believing in what made me who I am
That's why I won't give up
Your criticism won't get in the way!
I'd rather say something that means a lot to me
Even if it's been said before
Will you stand by what I say?
This is our time
Will you speak out on what you feel?
This is our time
We'll look back on these days as the best times of our lives
Why can't they fucking last?
These memories will outlive
The maturity that you seek
Losing touch in your adult world
Growing older every week
When you think back to what you've lost
You might not even care
But I'll stay true to what I've said
Even if you're not fucking there..you're not fucking there!
There's no shame in having fun and staying young!
Still you put me down you think you're something better
I can't turn my back and I don't think you'll be missed
Because I'm surrounded by friends who
Feel stronger than you ever did
Will you stand by what I say?
This is our time
Will you speak out on what you feel?
This is our time
This is our time!

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
