This city silence
It screams ways I've never even dreamed
I wanna walk to the other side
And feel the breeze

You walk in circles
And every time you come in through this town
You fall to pieces
Remembering the Sunday sounds

How could we ever leave here?
How could we let it go?
I'll never learn to sleep there
That's why we let it go

It's not contagious
But people walk around as in a dream
The notes are long
And the hours pass so slow it seems

Soon comes the summer
So ghosts can leave this city for awhile
It comes to life
And the sunlight goes a thousand miles

How could we ever leave here?
How could we let it go?
I'll never learn to sleep there
That's why we let it go

How could we ever leave here?
How could we let it go?
I'll never learn to sleep there
That's why we let it go

How could we ever leave here?
How could we let it go?
I'll never learn to sleep there
That's why we let it go

    This is what I got:

    The city silence, it screams in ways I've never even dreamed I want to the other side and feel the grease You walked in circles and every time you've come in through this town You fell to pieces remembering the Sunday sounds

    How do we ever leave here? How do we let it go? I'll never learn to sleep there, that's why we let it go

    It's not contagious, but people walk around us in a dream The notes are long and the hours pass so slow it seems ??? the ??? so ghosts can leave with ??? for a while They've got ??? life and the sunlight goes a thousand miles

    CHORUS: How do we ever leave here? How do we let it go? I'll never learn to sleep there, that's why we let it go

    CHORUS x2

    .. and this is what I got:

    This cities silence, it screams in ways I've never even dreamed I wanna walk to the other side and feel the breeze

    You walk in circles and everytime you come into this town You fall to pieces remembering the sunday sounds

    How could we ever leave here? How could we let it go? I never learned to sleep there, that's why we let it go

    It's not contagious but people walk around as in a dream The nights are long and the hours pass so slow it seems

    Soon comes the summer so ghosts can leave this city for awhile It comes to life and the sunlight goes a thousand miles

    How could we ever leave here? How could we let it go? I never learned to sleep there, that's why we let it go

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.

Silent Planet
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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
