Don’t go out
Don’t blow out
Don’t smother me, lantern
Don’t reach out, Phil
Don’t extend
Don’t try to touch nothing
I’m afraid I’ll see you out on a date
And it’ll send me camping
Don’t steal my show
That lantern light
Not linger nowhere
Not on your life
Leave alone don’t try to hold nothing
Don’t answer the phone
Leave alone be a darkened figure
Sinking slow
Have your fort glow
Have your lit up lantern
How did you know to come over tonight?
Your blazing lamp was blinking up the sky
What’s that you hold and
Why is it so bright?
My heart of snow
Must leave alone
This blizzard white
What’s that you hold and
Why is it so bright?
When I walk away
I’ll leave a shade on your glowing doorway
What’s that I/you hold and why is it so bright?
You look good
In my light
But my life flame flickers
Leave alone
Let cold lakes lie
Let me end my light leave
I’ll hang it high
On antlers wide
Let bloom like sunrise
Let go of everything
Don’t blow out
Don’t smother me, lantern
Don’t reach out, Phil
Don’t extend
Don’t try to touch nothing
I’m afraid I’ll see you out on a date
And it’ll send me camping
Don’t steal my show
That lantern light
Not linger nowhere
Not on your life
Leave alone don’t try to hold nothing
Don’t answer the phone
Leave alone be a darkened figure
Sinking slow
Have your fort glow
Have your lit up lantern
How did you know to come over tonight?
Your blazing lamp was blinking up the sky
What’s that you hold and
Why is it so bright?
My heart of snow
Must leave alone
This blizzard white
What’s that you hold and
Why is it so bright?
When I walk away
I’ll leave a shade on your glowing doorway
What’s that I/you hold and why is it so bright?
You look good
In my light
But my life flame flickers
Leave alone
Let cold lakes lie
Let me end my light leave
I’ll hang it high
On antlers wide
Let bloom like sunrise
Let go of everything

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 song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I absolutely love this song.
