She stands at the top of the castlewall
she gazes at the seashore below
half a glass since the crimson of dusk
but her sombre soul takes no notice of such
in her heart she longs for the angel of death
she is stalked by the dream of his touch
necromantic witch, such an innocent heart
yet het past is but a trail of blood and desire
murderess in the most intimate touch
stiletto death, so that het prince can watch
as she craves for the grasp of his touch
in love with the spirit of death
she is destined to dance at the tombs of the dead
in love with the spirit of death
she embraces the darkness and beauty of funerals
death above her, whispering low
a cold and strange tongue she doesn't know
love confessions? so soft in her ear
"become my bride my sweetest. Do not fear
obsessed by the spirit of death
she will never betray her love for the prince of the dead
wild winds, so strong they blow
off the castlewall she longs to go
body scattered, spirit free
in the arms of whom she longs to be
lonesouls fly..
even stars must die
yet their shimmer
their shimmer will last for lifetimes

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.

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
