Gone
Gone

The time had finally come to kill the vein
And I'm dropping down the dirt on your grave
It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad
Rid of a fool like you
The wrath has just begun
The time has finally come
And it hurts so bad, and it drives you mad
Life with a blinded view

It makes them disappear
It fills their lives with fear
When their future isn't clear
It makes them disappear

Gone
Gone

So the coward has up and run to be saved
But with each step taken down, you sink in the grave
It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad
Rid of a fool like you

It makes them disappear
It fills their lives with fear
When the future isn't clear
It makes them disappear

Get the fuck on down the road

It makes them disappear
It fills their lives with fear
When their future isn't clear
It makes them disappear

    this song is about finally getting rid of some one you hate. They feel that u should feel bad about them, but u are happy that they are gone.

    When someone is crazy/has antisocial problems... including drug addiction... they often find themselves isolating themselves from those around them and pushing them away.

    It makes them disappear.

    My Interpretation

    My guess is that it's about Phil and his heroine addiction, but also in general:

    'The time had finally come to kill the vein. And I'm dropping down the dirt on your grave It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad Rid of a fool like you'

    I think this part is about him getting clean from his heroine addiction, and he's suffering from the after-effects.'And I'm dropping down the dirt on your grave', could be about him abandoning his heroine addiction. 'It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad'. He finds it hard to say goodbye from drugs, but deep inside he knows it's the best thing to do, hence the 'I csn't feel sad'.'Rid of a fool like you' The heroine in this case is entitled as a fool.

    'It makes them disappear It fills their life with fear When their future isn't clear It makes them disappear'

    I think this part is about the effects of heroine in general, the heroine itself being entitled as 'It'. 'It makes them disappear', is the reason many people use drugs in general, not just for the trip itself, but also because you have a chance to escape from your struggles in life. 'It makes them disappear' thus stands for the fact that you become 'invisible' by using heroine.

    Then, the second part '�t fills their life with fear, when their future isn't clear.' The first line is about the after effects of using heroine; after your rush/trip you become scared, so you do another bag to feel happy again, which is the major symptom of a drug addiction. 'When their future isn't clear', refers to what I've said earlier, they are trying to escape the pressure of life through heroine.


    My other interpretation is as follows:

    The time had finally come to kill the vein And I'm dropping down the dirt on your grave It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad Rid of a fool like you The wrath has just begun The time has finally come And it hurts so bad, and it drives you mad Life with a blinded view (of you)

    'it might hurt so bad, but I can't be sad' In this case; he knows that the heroine is destroying him from inside(It might hurt so bad), but I think he's convinced that the negative effects of heroine don't weigh up to the 'positive' effects (But I can't be sad). 'Rid of a fool like you' The fool he's talking about might be some sort of relative, and like I've said before; the heroine enables him to escape his responsibilities to that person. 'And it hurts so bad, and it drives you mad'. I think this(and it drives you mad) is about the relatives of the addict dealing with his addiction. This is understandable, as alot of addicted people tend to get in some sort of a 'downer' state, where they always feel shit whenever they are not using heroine.

    'Life with a blinded view (of you)' So the heroine gives him the opportunity to escape life's pressure, but in return the heroine gives him a distorted point of view of life, and of his relatives.

    Yeah, wall of text, sorry if my english has some mistakes. Peace

    Also, about my earlier comment, I think this quote applies to my interpretation very well: 'He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man'(not to be confused with gay a7x) 'He who makes a beast out of himself(He who uses drugs, alcohol to become distorted 'beast' version of himself), gets rid of the pain of being a man(The drug enables him to escape the responsibilities a man has to deal with'.

    My work is done here, peace

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
