Dear wonder people, do you think we've met?
I wonder where, I wonder what was said.
Oh wonder people, how do you set such wonderful examples for young wonder people?
Their future's always brighter.
Old wonder people, their burden's always lighter.
But wonder people are rarely seen without it.
No wonder people sit and wonder all day about it.
Wonderful people, I wonder if they'll show me wonderful secrets and never leave me lonely.
Wonderful people, your song plays on the breeze.
We're collecting in every street and every crazy heart is beating.
Oh wonder people, your song lives in my trees.
We're collecting on every corner, passing out on every border
Oh wonder people, I'm thankful that you found me.
Now wonder people are crowding all around me.
Wonderful people, please know I'd never doubt you.
And when one shot rang out, that's when I got lost without you.
I lost myself in the streets.
People softly running running.
I woke adrift in the sea.
Water softly running running.
Go run, go run, run!
People running, running, running.
Go run, go run, run!
Water running, running, running.
Now I belong to the sea.
Water softly running running.
Like shots whispered in the streets
And people softly running running.
Oh wonder people, can we take to the races?
I wonder if I can make it at your paces.
Oh wonder people, you're racing all around me.
Just like an ocean, now the other ones can't surround me.
Go run, go run, run!
People running, running, running.
Go run, go run, run!
Water running, running, running.
I wonder where, I wonder what was said.
Oh wonder people, how do you set such wonderful examples for young wonder people?
Their future's always brighter.
Old wonder people, their burden's always lighter.
But wonder people are rarely seen without it.
No wonder people sit and wonder all day about it.
Wonderful people, I wonder if they'll show me wonderful secrets and never leave me lonely.
Wonderful people, your song plays on the breeze.
We're collecting in every street and every crazy heart is beating.
Oh wonder people, your song lives in my trees.
We're collecting on every corner, passing out on every border
Oh wonder people, I'm thankful that you found me.
Now wonder people are crowding all around me.
Wonderful people, please know I'd never doubt you.
And when one shot rang out, that's when I got lost without you.
I lost myself in the streets.
People softly running running.
I woke adrift in the sea.
Water softly running running.
Go run, go run, run!
People running, running, running.
Go run, go run, run!
Water running, running, running.
Now I belong to the sea.
Water softly running running.
Like shots whispered in the streets
And people softly running running.
Oh wonder people, can we take to the races?
I wonder if I can make it at your paces.
Oh wonder people, you're racing all around me.
Just like an ocean, now the other ones can't surround me.
Go run, go run, run!
People running, running, running.
Go run, go run, run!
Water running, running, running.

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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
amazing.

Wonderful people, your song plays on the breeze. We're collecting in every street and every crazy heart is beating. "Oh wonder people, your song lives in my trees We're collecting on every corner, passing out on every boarder "
imagine this live.
it was one of the best shows. ever/!
any ideas on these 'wonder people'? is it sarcastic or sincere?
both probably...
best song ever...hands down
hagbard_celine: I agree, I think it's both in a sense, but more the sarcastic part... making fun of people who think they own the world.
i am beyond pissed off that q arent playing together anymore..i'm in denial.
if you have seen them live you'd know it is not sarcastic.
