I'm not right
And I'm not fine
I want to be rain that tastes like wine
I want to be good
I want to be great
I want to be everything except for your mistake

Send me inside your mind
I want to know what you're thinking
This time I'll try to be the one you always thought you knew

It's true
I'm blue
And without you

I'm not right
I'm not fine
I want to be rain that tastes like wine
I want to be good
I want to be great
I want to be everything except for your mistake

Let me into your view
I want to know how you see this thing that's us
I must keep managing my madness over you

It's true
I'm blue
And without you

I'm not right
I'm not fine
I want to be rain that tastes like wine
I want to be good
I want to be great
I want to be everything except for your mistake

And I don't want your sympathy just understanding
We'd be better off if I just took some time to try to understand you

I'm not right
I'm not fine
I want to be rain that tastes like wine
I want to be good
I want to be great
I want to be everything except for your mistake

I'm not right
I'm not fine
I want to be rain that tastes like wine
I want to be seen
I want to get clean
I want to just fall out of in-between
I'm not right
I'm not right
I don't want to be your mistake

    IMO, i think this song can be applied after a break-up, and he wants to atleast be remembered as a good person she had known.

    I guess emo_inside hit it.

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.
