I looked to the sky
Saw my body die
Got to reappear up there
It's where I want to be
In the university
I've found, I've found my own college
I've found, I've found a way to resolve this

I’m not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to hear to comfort you?
I will wait all of this time above you

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you needed to hear?
Take all that I have known
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you need me to fear?
Take all that I have found

I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to hear to comfort you
I'll wait all this time above you

I looked to the ground
I was pleased with what I'd found
Got to reappear up here
It’s where I will always be
In the university
I've found, I've found all my problems
I'm gone, I'm gone finally solve this

I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have to comfort you
I'll wait all this time above you

    this is probably old news. and it's not entirely related to the meaning of this song, and it's probably not accurate. but a friend told me that gavin muttered something at a concert about Coquette being their last release before they break up. can anyone confirm this?

    to make this comment valid: In my opinion, the lyrics are about being in a relationship with someone who demands that you give up yourself for their gain-- lying so they feel better and such.

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.

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.
