This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Now buildings are starting to fall
Bricks beginning to break
Your steps are leaving cracks in the sidewalks
Leaving trails of empty streets
And I'm going blind from staring at your eyes
Because they release the fire of a thousand suns
But I've grown so numb I can barely shed a tear
Even if you cut the strings that hold my head up
You're pulling teeth
Ripping flesh so you can lick the blood from your fingers
So break these bones taste my skin
Let my death sing the end of it
So you can do no more damage
So you collect no more trophies
Let me be the last
Let no one feel how I feel
This tragedy began with me
So let it end with me
From your hell I've become this numb
I wish this pain on no one
Behind your smile
Beneath your lungs
I hope your darkness comes
This tragedy began with me
So let it end with me
I tried to be what you wanted me to be
And I'm sorry that I can never be perfect for you
But every time I look in the the mirror
I see your eyes staring right back at me
And I don't want it anymore
I hope you're fucking happy
Bricks beginning to break
Your steps are leaving cracks in the sidewalks
Leaving trails of empty streets
And I'm going blind from staring at your eyes
Because they release the fire of a thousand suns
But I've grown so numb I can barely shed a tear
Even if you cut the strings that hold my head up
You're pulling teeth
Ripping flesh so you can lick the blood from your fingers
So break these bones taste my skin
Let my death sing the end of it
So you can do no more damage
So you collect no more trophies
Let me be the last
Let no one feel how I feel
This tragedy began with me
So let it end with me
From your hell I've become this numb
I wish this pain on no one
Behind your smile
Beneath your lungs
I hope your darkness comes
This tragedy began with me
So let it end with me
I tried to be what you wanted me to be
And I'm sorry that I can never be perfect for you
But every time I look in the the mirror
I see your eyes staring right back at me
And I don't want it anymore
I hope you're fucking happy

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”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical

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.
being in a relationship with someone who dosent want you but your lovesick about her. And its slowly tearing you apart and making you depressed
a very abusive relationship that is hurting someone tremendously and they just want out and its so bad they they wouldn't want anyone else to have to deal with someonething so horrible hence the lines "Let me be the last Let no one feel how I feel
This tragedy began with me So let it end with me"
...thats what i think its about
...and to add on to my previous comment:
"I tried to be what you wanted me to be And I'm sorry that I can never be perfect for you But everytime I look in the the mirror I see your eyes staring right back at me And I dont want it anymore"
Despite all the abuse this person is casueing them they're still madly in love with them adn they hate it.
I think this song is more about feeling like you never lived up to what your parents wanted you to be.
Sure it could be about a bad relationship, but I think there's enough evidence in the song to show it's more talking to parents than like an ex.
"But every time I look in the mirror I see your eyes staring right back at me And I don't want it anymore"
this shows it is probably a parent because we end up with traits our parents had (in this case, similar eyes).
I think I agree with Mudsown the most, it does seem like someone who tries to live up to expectations. Maybe not even with parents, though; I always got the feeling it was from someone like maybe a friend, you know? Someone who they aren't romantically involved with or related to but can still hurt them, maybe more than a parent or a girl/boy friend can. But, I dunno, that's just my take.
Brandan's voice in this song reminds me of Henry Rollins!
