The fear in me is what keeps me uip at night.
And you're killing me but it makes me feel...
Not here for the revolutoin,
Not here for the new solution
Not here to justify when you came back our mothers cried.
Well I'm just a bitter man who came up with a better plan.
In case you're wondering, I'm fine,
I'm doing just the best that I can.
The fear in me is what keeps me up at night.
ANd you're killing me,
But it makes me feel alive.
The fear in me is what keeps me up at night...
And you're killing me...
Not part of my generation.
Not here for the new temptation.
Not here to testify,
When you came back to watch us die.
I'm just a bitter man who came up with a better plan.
In case you're wondering, I'm fine,
I'm doing just the best that I can.
The fear in me...
And this is for all of you
(The ones that believed in me).
This is for you and me alond
(The ones that are here for me).
This is for all of you and my friends to feel
(The ones that believed in me).
This is for you and me
(The ones that are here for me)
And you stumbled down the line
(You should've you should've you should've)
And you stumbled on my lie again...
And you stumbled down the line...
'Cause everything was so perfect, until I found my fear.
The fear in me...It makes me feel alive.

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Silent Planet
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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
