i've been waiting for you,
i've been waiting for you.
what's your price?
tell me what your price is.
i've been waiting for you,
i've been waiting for you.
let's hope tonight, there is hope tonight.

talk is cheap with your words, honey.
i can smell your breath and it smells like money, girl.
but you ask for anything, you couldn't ask for anything.

call out these moneymakers, they have guns and are firing.
run down by bloody pirates whose ships we could not sink.
cease change in all directions, these mouths are worth the time.
big wallets give protection, safe pockets never lie.

talk is cheap with your words, honey.
i can smell your breath and it smells like money, girl.
but you ask for anything, did you ask for anything?

i've been waiting for you,
i've been waiting for you.
your words bank for broken tempers,
security and car alarms.
the words themselves do not mean much,
but we take to sail with open arms.
just fall at the sound of laughter,
like you've never even knew at all.
and love has what money's after,
your gold teeth have fooled us all.

treasure island's on her list of future destinations,
but little did she know, i am there as we speak,
digging for the treasure chest she buried.
its hers to own, but she's all alone...

talk is cheap with your words, honey.
i can smell your breath and it smells like money, girl.
but you ask for anything, did you ask for anything?

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”
