Can I get away?
Get away from you.
'Cause your broken edge is what told the truth.

Standing: in the corner you start facing the wall alone.
Shaking: you crawl away.
But by now you've been so consume.
You gave it up for a dirty dime a dozen now you're layin in the corner so lonely.
Locked up. Locked down.
So down and out.
I'm watchin you die slowly.
Standing: in the corner you start facing the wall alone.
Shaking: you crawl away.
But by now you've been so consumed.

Can I get away?
Get away from you.
'Cause your broken edge is what's killing you.

And I choke
At the sight of you.
And I choke.
Yeah you're turning blue.

Do you feel fine now?

Can I get away?
Get away from you.
'Cause your broken edge is what's killing you.

Do you feel fine now?

And I choke at the sight of you.
And I choke.
Yeah you're turning blue.

    i think the songs about a drug addict who wont stop taing drugs. and their friends (or partner) tries to help but they wont stop untill they have destroyed themselves, and when their friend sees them they are disgusted with them

    Looks to me like it's about someone breaking edge (turning their back on the straightedge lifestyle), ruining their lives with drugs/alcohol, and whoever wrote the song being disguisted by it. Pretty obvious from the lines "Your broken edge is what told the truth... Your broken edge is killing you" and "You gave it up for a dirty dime a dozen".

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.
