Death be a liar
say that the morning will come soon
and this dreary black cloud will soon be brushed away
you sound shaky on the phone
where is he staying?
No, that's fine mom I love you and i'll call you when I get there
With my own disgression this drive will be peaceful
not a thought of the looming fact that roles over and over again
and i'll feed denial till it eats my insides
with each exhale the hand grips tighter around my neck
my feet will keep pace with the sway of the wipers
anything to keep my mind at ease

Breath deep this could be the last chance you get to say what you mean breath deep this could be the last chance you get to say what you mean

These bulidings are blurry and my vision's tunneled
these sterile white hallways tell stories of people that will never be the same again
please I need assistance
where's room 107?
down the hallway, past the stairwell, on your left
Its so nice to see you
I know its been too long
We must keep in close contact

Breath deep this could be the last chance you get to say what you mean breath deep this could be the last chance you get to say what you mean

I hope you dont forget the good times
that we spent together
Im not ready to say goodbye

When you breath, breath in deep!

    well i don't really know, but this song is fucking awesome. i saw them in concert a week ago and they rock.

    i guess i would say that this song is about him driving, obviously, to see someone who he loves. during the drive, he keeps denying it and cannot relax. he isn't ready to say goodbye, but he has to. he hopes he can say what he wants to to the person.

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
