This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We're racing through the dark
On a road along the shore
And the law says we should stop
So we break a couple more
With the windows all down
We just throw the cans out
And now you're laughin' through the wind
Swearin' we won't do it again
We're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
(But we're) too young for ourselves
We're racing through the dark
Down the beach by the pier
And you ran into the sea
Like a cop without fear
"You're gonna ruin your shoes!"
"You're gonna ruin your shoes!"
And you're wading through the bay
Like you do it everyday
We're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
(But we're) too young for ourselves
The bay's so uncertain
It's too cold, but we swim
The rain could come at any moment
The gray sky's closing in
Girl, just kiss me
I couldnt' sleep for days
And I couldn't move
You couldn't come too soon
To break me from that room
And now I'll sleep for days
But in a different place
We're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
(But we're) too young for ourselves
On a road along the shore
And the law says we should stop
So we break a couple more
With the windows all down
We just throw the cans out
And now you're laughin' through the wind
Swearin' we won't do it again
We're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
(But we're) too young for ourselves
We're racing through the dark
Down the beach by the pier
And you ran into the sea
Like a cop without fear
"You're gonna ruin your shoes!"
"You're gonna ruin your shoes!"
And you're wading through the bay
Like you do it everyday
We're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
(But we're) too young for ourselves
The bay's so uncertain
It's too cold, but we swim
The rain could come at any moment
The gray sky's closing in
Girl, just kiss me
I couldnt' sleep for days
And I couldn't move
You couldn't come too soon
To break me from that room
And now I'll sleep for days
But in a different place
We're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
(But we're) too young for ourselves

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
i can't believe there are not more posts about this song. it is absolutely fabulous.
i think that he's just writing about being young, and in love and living in the moment. "we cough too much now, but we're too young for ourselves." in that moment, the consequences of their actions didn't even matter. for once they could just do what they wanted to do without worrying about the future.
perfect.
