I see you had your mind all made up
You group of pitiful liars.
Before I woke to face the day
Your master plan transpired

Something told me
This job had more than meets the eye
My song is not believed?
My words somewhat deceiving?
Now I'm unwhole

You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom

Can't be what your idols are
Can't leave the scar
You cry for compensation
I ask you, please just give us

5 minutes alone

Just give us
5 minutes alone

I read your eyes, your mind was made up
You took me for a fool
You used complexion of my skin
For a counter-rascist tool
You can't burn me
I've spilled my guts out in the past
Taken advantage of
Because you know where I've come from
My past

You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom

Can't be what your idols are.
Can't leave the scar alone
You cry for compensation
I ask you, please just give us

5 minutes alone

Just give us
5 minutes alone

Like points of broken glass

Oh, five minutes
Alone
Just give us
Yeah

Last stop

I ask you, please just give us

5 minutes alone

Just give us
5 minutes alone

I ask you, please just give us
I ask you, please just give us
I ask you, please just give us
I ask you, please just give us
I ask you, please just give us
I ask you, please just give us
I ask you, please just give us
I ask you, please just give us
I ask you, please (please)
I ask you, please
I ask you, please
I beg you, please
I beg you, please
I beg you, please

5 minutes alone

Just give us
5 minutes alone
5 minutes alone
5 minutes alone

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.

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.

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.
