This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
If you never leave the highlands
like you're drowning under rain
and your sadness tastes like whiskey
and my body breathes the same
and ill drain my wisdom empty
just to feel that space again
but you know nothing is outside
and my secret is my silence
my secret is my silence
and my silence is in vain
im sick of living in these buildings
that were built from blood and rain
and from the warm side of the window
the views always look the same
but your face it held the stories
full of dreams it can contain
but you know nothing is outside
and my secret is my silence
my secret is my silence
and my silence is in vain
but you know nothing is outside
and my secret is my silence
my secret is my silence
and my silence is in vain
and you held on to a country
from the cail yard to the grave
and you spoke in quickly written verses
hidden in your gaelic name
to approach land without a harbour
to find your way home
you approach land without a harbour
to find your way home
like you're drowning under rain
and your sadness tastes like whiskey
and my body breathes the same
and ill drain my wisdom empty
just to feel that space again
but you know nothing is outside
and my secret is my silence
my secret is my silence
and my silence is in vain
im sick of living in these buildings
that were built from blood and rain
and from the warm side of the window
the views always look the same
but your face it held the stories
full of dreams it can contain
but you know nothing is outside
and my secret is my silence
my secret is my silence
and my silence is in vain
but you know nothing is outside
and my secret is my silence
my secret is my silence
and my silence is in vain
and you held on to a country
from the cail yard to the grave
and you spoke in quickly written verses
hidden in your gaelic name
to approach land without a harbour
to find your way home
you approach land without a harbour
to find your way home

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.

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” 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.
I think the line is 'By nicotine flame', but I could be wrong
