And loves light blue
Led me to you
Through all the emptiness that had become my home
Love's lies cruel
Introduced me to you
And that moment I knew I was out of hope

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
For dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

Love's icy tomb
Dug open for you
Lies in a cemetery that bares my name
Love's violent tune
From me to you
Rips your heart out and leaves you
Bleeding with a smile on your face

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
For dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

Loves light blue
Took me from you
And that moment I knew I was out of hope
Again

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
For dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

Love said no
And love said no

    My Interpretation

    Personally I see this song in the form of Love playing a cruel joke on a person who's deeply in love with someone he/she can't exactly have.

    The first verse is explaining the layout of the story (we'll go with a male for now as the hopeless romantic). He has finally found his match, but sadly for reasons unknown he can't have her. "Love lies cruel" means that he feels like Love has pulled a nasty joke on his heart, making him feel the way he does for this other person. He realized over time that there was no hope of this love happening. Maybe they were together before, who knows.

    The chorus then explains that since he can't have the person he yearns for, he feels that Love will become the death of him. He pleads for death but he simply can't bring himself to it. He doesn't feel right on this earth, and would prefer to die than go on feeling the way he does.

    The second verse shows that apathy is settling in. Since he has no hope, the love he had for this person is buried deep in his heart which he refers to as an icy tomb. No love, no reason to have a kind, caring heart. Love had made this person notice him as another cruel joke (Love's violent tune, from me to you..), but without that kind, loving heart inside of him, there's no reason to feel love for him so this person gives up on that thought.

    In the end where it goes, "Love's light blue took me from you, and at that moment I knew that I was out of hope again," I believe that this is portraying the end of a tragedy. The man has become apathetic in his loss of hope for love, and the person he yearned for walked away without a second thought. He feels that love returning upon realizing that she walked away, but it's too late and there's no longer hope for that love.

    I might be wrong, but that is what I pulled from the lyrics and I can strongly relate to this.

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.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
