Nothings the same.
Fading away.

You've been worn.
You've been worn.
You've been warned for the last time.
Don't it hurt?
Don't it hurt?

Honey, you're playing with matches.

It's not time to go (It's something in your eyes)
You can't take it slow (It's something in the wine)
You taste like something's wrong (You can't play with matches)
"Darling, tell me, is something wrong?"

Turn, turn the wheels of horror.
You'll hang for what you've done.
I failed to recognize my hand as part of the problem.

I'll watch you fall from this balcony,
Like a chandalier from the 6th story.
The concrete will stain from the blood which you paint.
A poet you've lived, now an artist you'll die.

It's not time to go (It's something in your eyes)
You can't take it slow (It's something in the wine)
You taste like something's wrong (You can't play with matches)
"Darling, tell me, is something wrong?"

Turn, turn the wheels of horror.
You'll hang for what you've done.
I failed to recognize my hand as part of the problem.

    finallyyy. this is definitely my favorite song on the new album, i've been waiting for forever to read the lyrics lol. well i can say for sure that this is obviously about the first murder at saylor lake, and that it's being sung by the murderer. the lyrics make it sound as though the girl deserved it in some way though..."You'll hang for what you've done."..."The concrete will stain from the blood which you paint."

    and a little mistake, it goes "tell me, darling, is something wrong?" you got it a bit inverted lol, but the rest seems good. :]

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.
