This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I was seven years old when I watched the world fall down
I can’t remember but I like the way it sounds
I never realized that kids like me grow up in war
so I thought my life was hard until you told me yours
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
My father sings to me,
tucks me in at night.
Your father died for you so you could stay alive
and I’m so scared to say that we're the same in every way except one
I was born in peace and you under the gun.
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
And a child of seven years should never have to see
their world come crashing down to wither at their feet.
And me and my self centered little world cannot comprehend the truth
that I cant live through what you have
and I could have been you.
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you won't ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
And if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
I can’t remember but I like the way it sounds
I never realized that kids like me grow up in war
so I thought my life was hard until you told me yours
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
My father sings to me,
tucks me in at night.
Your father died for you so you could stay alive
and I’m so scared to say that we're the same in every way except one
I was born in peace and you under the gun.
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
And a child of seven years should never have to see
their world come crashing down to wither at their feet.
And me and my self centered little world cannot comprehend the truth
that I cant live through what you have
and I could have been you.
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you won't ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
And if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I really love this song. It's so good, probably one of my favourite Locals songs.
"and just how they lived through the whole complicated war that split the country up, and how it makes you think how much better your life is really"
Yeah that is what it's about. The Matches are amazing.
This song is so cool...It's not like the "vintage" Matches but still Matches-esque nonetheless...I'm not really sure wat it's about...It sounds like maybe a "war" song how when he was growing up there wasn't one and if there was, it wasn't a huge deal but for 2day's kids, war is everywhere and it's harder 2day...I'm not sure if that assumption is rite but the song it great.
i think this has to do with someone shawn knew from croatia/yugoslavia/whatever you'll call it and just how they lived through the whole complicated war that split the country up, and how it makes you think how much better your life is really. read their tour journals.
