This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We talked
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home
Now here we are
We're licking skin to wipe us clean
Strike a match, pour gasoline
Ditch the scene and watch this city burn
Sleep, my lap will be your pillow, steering wheel turn
I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares if no one else believes?
Yeah, so I, set fire to everyone around
But I told you, I told you, we'd do it
So ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha
Yeah, we walk
We drive
To leave the past and clear the mind
To watch the sunset set its time
I swear you'll find
I'm your ride home
Now close your eyes
It's getting dark and the highway's clear
No sign of life from front to rear
Is it just you my dear
On the ride home?
We're going home
I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares if no one else believes?
Yeah, so I, set fire to everyone around
But I told you, I told you, we'd do it
So ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha
Yeah, we walk
We talked
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home
'Cause we're going home
I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares if no one else believes?
Yeah, so I, set fire to everyone around
But I told you, I told you, we'd do it
So ha-ha-ha-ha (we walk)
Ha-ha-ha
Oh yeah, we walk
We walk
Yeah, we walk
Yeah, we walk
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home
Now here we are
We're licking skin to wipe us clean
Strike a match, pour gasoline
Ditch the scene and watch this city burn
Sleep, my lap will be your pillow, steering wheel turn
I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares if no one else believes?
Yeah, so I, set fire to everyone around
But I told you, I told you, we'd do it
So ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha
Yeah, we walk
We drive
To leave the past and clear the mind
To watch the sunset set its time
I swear you'll find
I'm your ride home
Now close your eyes
It's getting dark and the highway's clear
No sign of life from front to rear
Is it just you my dear
On the ride home?
We're going home
I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares if no one else believes?

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.

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
He just wants to be with her with no matter what. He wants to be alone with her and his happiest when its that way and knows its the same with her. He realizes that no one else thinks their relationship could be real but he knows that all that matters is that they are both happy. No one else matters. Convincing to forget the past is another part of the song.
"Hey, we can hide the bodies on the ride home" Past is the metaphor for the bodies. He feels its better to hide the past and not let it get in anyone way.
"We drive To leave the past and clear the mind To watch the sunset at its time I swear you're fine, I'm your ride home"
Now it can be taken symbolically or physically. Driving with this girl in his car. Driving to any destination no matter where or even no destination at all is still perfect. Watching sunsets and gazing at a night sky with her is even better. He wants her to know that he is her ride, the one who will guide her the right way. Symbolically driving means the act of moving foward away from the past and into the future. Clearing minds and leaving the past shows that nothing matters except what they feel now and could feel later. Him saying "I'm your ride home" means that he is the right one for her and fate may have led them together and she should go with him no matter what anyone else says.
