Whenever I go out to parties, I try so hard just to fit in.
I'll walk around with a cup of beer in my hand. and smoke a cigarette.
I want to be like everyone else.
If I was a rock star, the would notice me.
and they would want my autograph.
I'll have a video on MTV.
and I'll be signed on epitaph.
I'm just another face in the crowd, I'm not gonna let it bring me down
because I know someday I'll break away.
I'm just another face in the crowd, I'm gonna break away somehow,
before my mind goes insane.
Everyday I think about my future.
I don't know what I want to be.
It always seems like I'm stagnating...
uh whoa uh whoa uh oh oh...oh!
separated from society.
If I was an actor like keanu reeves.
Then all the girls would scream and shout and tear.
I'll be rich and famous from the movie screen.
and by this time we'll be sold out.

    hahah.. Man this song is good. Its another sarcastic song about people not being happy with who they are and trying to be someone else.. Talking about schemes for them to be popular.. haha. I like where he goes "If I was an actor like keanu reeves. Then all the girls would scream and shout and tear. I'll be rich and famous from the movie screen. and by this time we'll be sold out." or where they talked about being signed on epitaph.. which sucks btw. Good Cali. Punk.. I mean these were good songs, before kings of pop cd. they got old I guess.

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
