It's not sadness that sings a song that lets him breathe
A man who jammed the world down his sleeve
Fled on his back he fills the sky, now
With words that brought a tear to my eye

And tonight I'm catching angels
Singin' in my head
Please don't wake me
Save me tonight

Am I crazy or has the world turned upside down?
Eyes float until the sharks come around
There's one ship left on, sea
This coward held the gun in the breeze

Tonight I'm catching angels
Singin' in my head
Please don't wake me
Save me tonight

All of the time
I watch you unwind
I'm sick of the drink, but I'm...
Goin' crazy
Alone in the cell
It's easy to tell
That all I've left
Is the faintest angel spell, no...
But I'm...
Crazy

Crazy...

Crazy...

And tonight I'm catching angels
Singin' in my head
Please don't wake me
Save me tonight
Come on
Come on, love ...

And tonight I'm catching angels
Singin' in my head
Please don't wake me
Save me
You drove me
Crazy

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.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
