Here we go from the top, let's restart
But the only thing that she starts is her car
To drive away from the thing that she hates
I'm the only thing she leaves behind
Behind

Here we go from the top, don't give in
You're giving up but you're still kissing him
You're sliding to the favorite spot in your room
Getting closer, closer to the closer

Beauty queen knows how to make this hurt
Beauty queen knows how to make this...

Chained down, you lay down
To give yourself away
Before you give in
Don't give yourself away

Here we go from the top, she slides down
To the bottom of the bed like she drowned
Under the sheets for another "I love you"
Here she goes from the top, here she goes, here he goes

Chained down, you lay down
To give yourself away
Before you give in
Don't give yourself away

She's the type of girl when you leave the room, handle turn, lock the door
She's smooth at the hips, and I never thought she would feel like this

Beauty queen knows how to make this hurt
Beauty queen knows how to make this...

Chained down, you lay down
To give yourself away
Before you give in
Don't give yourself away
Chained down, you lay down
To give yourself away
Before you give in
Don't give yourself away

    Nah, I disagree.. I don't think she's a prostetute at all.. she just lacks self respect and knows no better.

    Here's My interpretation:

    'Here we go from the top, let's restart But the only thing that she starts is her car To drive away from the thing that she hates'

    this shows that she doesn't enjoy what she's doing.. she hates herself for it and can;t get away quick enough..

    'Chained down, you lay down To give yourself away Before you give in Don't give yourself away'

    this shows she is trapped by her way of life.. These lines make me think of a girl lying there having sex with a guy but hating it and hating herself at the same time.. I also think she's wearing a mask.. not showing her true identity and not showing that she hates it.. 'Don't give yourself away'

    'Here we go from the top, she slides down To the bottom of the bed like she drowned Under the sheets for another "I love you" Here she goes from the top, here she goes, here he goes'

    By using the like she's drowned phrase it's like she's not there in spirit.. she's given in and given up. the another 'i love you' bit suggests that she wants to be loved, and the only way she knows how to get this is through sex.

    'She's the type of girl when you leave the room, handle turn, lock the door'

    this shows again that she hates what she's doing, you can almost imagie her slamming the door closed as the door leaves, and sliding down the door only to sit in tears at the bottom full of resentment to her self.

    'She's smooth at the hips, and I never thought she would feel like this'

    this bit confused me at first. but i kinda think it has a hidden meaning.. the smooth at the hips could also symbolise how she's feeling inside, she's soft, she's gentle.. she's vulnerable.. and the 'i never thought she would feel like this' bit shows you what other people feel about her.. they regard her as 'just after one thing' but the guy never knew how deep she flt and how strong the feelings she had were..

    Well.. That's what i rekon anyway.

    Sorry for the ramble, haha x

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.
