Restless
Memories
Are gathering still
Between the shades of your nightmares
Suffocating you drown within
And dream the day of your destruction
I tried to cope with this a thousand times I slashed my skin
But I still cannot figure it out safe
As my woundless hurt remains frantic
Yours go down the drain
So get the fuck out of my life
Forever

Exhausted
By the burden of your disease
In this silent addiction
Forever entangled in the dark within
Here's the key to your salvation
Like a bullet in your brain
You're aware of your decay
Restless dreaming of a final solution
All your efforts seem so vain
Time to face all your mistakes
And slash your way out of the dark forever

Yeah I know it's too late
To regret your mistakes
In this world of confusion
As the shadows embrace
You get rid of your pain
Parting ways with a blade

Your wordless separation from this state of atrophy
Is nothing but a cold breeze in a world of agony

Now I want you to know
No one will waste a single tear for your demise
And your grave will be nameless, cold and forgotten
Lost in the shadows of time

Yeah I know it's too late
To regret your mistakes
In this world of confusion
As the shadows embrace
You get rid of your pain
Parting ways with a blade

    You're missing "So I guess it's time, for your last ride" before the chorus and "Come on, come on, bastard" before that on the last chorus.

    Although, I think the meaning of the song is quite clear, I would have to say about how suicide is a bad thing and/or how someone feels when they are contemplating suicide.

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”

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
