Rain spat in my face, thanks a lot, mate
And I lost a tenner on the way
Thinkin' about it, did I spend it last night
When I was drunk and I wanted to get more drunk?

Missed the train, thanks a lot, mate
I didn't wanna be late today, 'cause I'm always late
And I really hate always bein' late
And now the other train is delayed, great

Carrier bags and a navy taxi, man said
"Take your time, love 'cause you don't have to rush
'Cause it's your life and it's no one else's, sweetheart
Don't let someone put you in a box"

So I take all that other stuff that I said before
And I'm gonna make it work
Because I'm losin' my mind
And it's drivin' me up the wall

So I tried to help you carry your shoppin'
But I wasn't concentratin', I was talkin'
And I got it caught on the side of this thing
And it split

And I'd try to help you walk along
But I'd probably end up pushin' you over
But don't worry, I'll never let you fall

And I'm stubborn and I'll shout
And I'll cut you out
And I'll, I'll make you feel
Like I never wanted to make you feel

And I'm stubborn and I'll shout
And I'll cut you out
And I'll, I'll make you feel
Like I never wanted to make you feel

Carrier bags and a navy taxi, man said
"Take your time, love 'cause you don't have to rush
'Cause it's your life and it's no one else's, sweetheart
Don't let someone put you in a box"

So I take all that other stuff that I said before
And I'm gonna make it work
Because I'm losin' my mind
And it's drivin' me up the wall

And this time, it will be different
This time, yeah, it will be different
This time, yeah, it will be different

And this time, yeah, it will be different
This time, yeah, it will be different
This time, yeah, it will be different

And this time, yeah, it will be different
This time, yeah, it will be different
This time, it will be different

    This song speaks really strongly to me. I believe it's about someone who keeps screwing up at everything she does, be it making it to work on time or carrying shopping bags. She feels like she's letting everyone down, but despite her self she keeping ruining things. She's stubborn and hot tempered and says things she doesn't mean. It's like she thinks people are losing faith in her, hence the "don't worry, I'll never let you fall". The taxi driver tells her that she doesn't have to live her life trying to please others, and that she needs to slow down and be her own person. At the end of the song, her "this time it will be different" speaks of her resolve to start fresh and change her ways, to live up the the expectations set by others and herself. However, I get the feeling that this is a mantra she's told herself many times already, and it never seems to work.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
