I shed my skin when the party was about to begin
I'm light years away but I'm walking back tonight of all nights
When I should be feeling just right
Don't wanna be in public my head is full of chopstick I don't like it
Something on my mind breaking open doors I've sealed up before
Something on my mind makes me run when I thought I'd run too far

Somebody's shaking my tree, maybe that somebody is me
I'm standing in the light but I'm making a break for the shadows on the cinema wall
They should be mine but I'm not that tall
Now I'm saying this in private if I had a car I'd drive it insane

Something on my mind breaking open doors I've sealed up before
Something on my mind makes me run when I thought I've run too far
Something on my mind breaking open doors I've sealed up before
Something on my mind makes me run when I thought I've run too far

I'm looking for cracks in the pavement

Something on my mind breaking open doors I've sealed up before
Something on my mind makes me run when I thought I've run too far
Something on my mind breaking open doors I've sealed up before
Something on my mind makes me run when I thought I've run too far
Something on my mind breaking open doors I've sealed up before
Something on my mind makes me run when I thought I've run too far

    No, I see what you mean. And the chopstick line, while the butt of many jokes... Think about it. I just imagine this poking, "messed-up" feeling in my mind, kinda all stirred up and bothered... And just generally feeling out-of-place, feeling wrong: with life, with myself. Feeling frustrated with my place in the world ("I'm making a break for the shadows / On the cinema wall / They should be mine but I'm not that tall") OK, maybe I'm too serious about this, too, lol.

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.
