I've buried my joy and faith, those deceitful delusions
And thus I've found a way to purify my mind from desolation

What could I gain but suffering and deception, if innocence is lost?
There is no cure for this tainted desire, when everything was done

I am nothing but frustration, I end my life with no regrets
And, falling on my knees, I' m still waiting to find redemption

There is no cure for this tainted desire to expurgate the pain out of my head

My flesh is cold, I feel no pain – the bitter art of dying fast
A shroud of frost cover my skin - my bleeding soul's now lifeless

The barrel of gun against my head is like a promise to
Release my fears on a wall of concrete: what a fine day to extinct

What could I gain but suffering and deception, if innocence is lost?
There is no cure for this tainted desire to expurgate the pain out of my head

My flesh is cold, I feel no pain – the bitter art of dying fast
A shroud of frost cover my skin - my bleeding soul's 's now lifeless

What is existence but a relentless demise?
To live is to die, with no absolution
Nothing could be saved, my heart is dry, I bury my ego and chock on my hopes
I've cursed myself for this foretaste of ruins or just a glimpse of light
Ascending like a star I've discovered mortality

My flesh is cold, I feel no pain – the bitter art of dying fast
A shroud of frost cover my skin – my bleeding soul' s now lifeless

Am I the one to blame?
If I've failed to live (just failed to live)

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
