This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
you found a way to break away
from the one you say that you love
now you cry out your eyes day and night
you set free the one that you love
and it's true, I don't remember you
but I believe you if you say that we met
I get confused
nights, i've been wondering
I thought I was already dead
but man, I loved
yeah, I loved
when I loved
it was love
it was love
or at least, the closest I got
and the coffee, the cream
the blood in my dreams
are the ones you used to know
and the gas, the plane, the interstate
live the ones you don't have to know
and I regret this sad and awful truth
but my mouth, it'll get away from me
you, I just put up with you, kid
I stayed cause you wouldn't leave
remember love
oh, love
when we loved
it was love
it was love
or at least, as close as I've come
and maybe joan was running all alone
and there is a shortcut
by putting a gun to your brain
man, to take all that you got
and the truth was I was just scared for you
but for me, that's the way that it comes
you'd gotten used to me and my awful tongue
but god, didn't we have some fun?
when we made love in the van
and I drove with your hand on my lap
and when san diego got too unkind
we just picked up and left it behind
and we had some love and some hope
a full tank of gas and a wide open road
it was love
to us, it was all that we had
and there's just a day when you just break
the best thing you had
and I still call it love
for now, it's the closest I've come
from the one you say that you love
now you cry out your eyes day and night
you set free the one that you love
and it's true, I don't remember you
but I believe you if you say that we met
I get confused
nights, i've been wondering
I thought I was already dead
but man, I loved
yeah, I loved
when I loved
it was love
it was love
or at least, the closest I got
and the coffee, the cream
the blood in my dreams
are the ones you used to know
and the gas, the plane, the interstate
live the ones you don't have to know
and I regret this sad and awful truth
but my mouth, it'll get away from me
you, I just put up with you, kid
I stayed cause you wouldn't leave
remember love
oh, love
when we loved
it was love
it was love
or at least, as close as I've come
and maybe joan was running all alone
and there is a shortcut
by putting a gun to your brain
man, to take all that you got
and the truth was I was just scared for you
but for me, that's the way that it comes
you'd gotten used to me and my awful tongue
but god, didn't we have some fun?
when we made love in the van
and I drove with your hand on my lap
and when san diego got too unkind
we just picked up and left it behind
and we had some love and some hope
a full tank of gas and a wide open road
it was love
to us, it was all that we had
and there's just a day when you just break
the best thing you had
and I still call it love
for now, it's the closest I've come

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.

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”
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.

“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.

Ditto:( Pretty simple, a very sad song about the loss of love or at least the closest thing to love.
hmm, i dont really get sad when I hear this song. I always think of it as like, a total recollection of the memories of a relationship that just didn't happen to work out- not as a really sad breakup song. Not just the good memories are recalled, the bad ones are too, but to me it seems like the narrator was happy the relationship took place as opposed to wishing it had never happened.
i totally agree with thisparapet. "and there's days when you just break the best thing you had and I still call it love" kind of sums it up. like 'it was the closest thing i've had to love and i'm glad it happened.'
or at least, that's what i think.
This song always reminds me of "Somebody Else's Clothes". I don't know why. I think something about the van and just feeling completely happy.
The singer has that feeling that he's setting the other person free. Like they both wouldn't end the relationship despite whatever reasons, and he had to be the one to end it, feeling that he's letting this person go and setting them free, but also remembering everything about their time together. Things that couples know about each other (how the other person takes their coffee, sharing stories, dreams, etc.)
It really is a beautiful song.
