I recall when you once said, "There's truth in both of us
And all that lies ahead", I take it your tongue
It just got twisted or maybe it got tired
Or maybe your memory waved goodbye

When your so-called friends forget your name
When your so-called friends, they ain't the same
When your so-called friends, they've lost thier way
And they ain't what they was just the other day, hey

Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say
Just like a dog that's turned on you
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?

How I couldn't see through your thin disguise?
Lord only knows and such a fool was I
Happy-go-lucky that's what I was and what I hope to be
But I feel that I've lost that side of me

When your so-called friends forget your name
When your so-called friends they ain't the same
When your so-called friends they've lost thier way
And they ain't what they was just the other day, hey

Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say
Just like a dog thats turned on you,
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?

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”

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.
