Witness to a youthful lust
who made the same mistake
guess he didn't know
Didn't know it would cost him everything he'd make
Spied that young one
through my window,
on the subtle path
he didn't know the loss
he didn't see the cost
it could've cost him everything

Now he can't find
now he dont understand why
but you see
cuz you cheat and think
that you're free but you know
Now he can't find the way
can someone please come
please come and take it away
before it's to late

wave
goodbye
she'll kill you with a smile
and slit your throat
with a wink of her eye
why
oh brutal heart for a lie
I was that man once
I tell you I'd rather die
Die

He can't just see why
he doesnt see the truth
cuz you know it feels so good
it takes away you
now Disciples would you rise
I know there is sin you despise will you let it go?
and wave goodbye to your friends
and live like it's so

Now he cant find
Why can he see?
Wont you stop him now?
Wont you reach out?
Wont you do something please?
I guess you too busy to see
It brings a real friend to say
In the face of your own Identity.
Please stop him someone

wave
goodbye
she'll kill you with a smile
and slit your throat
with a wink of her eye
why
oh brutal heart for a lie
I was that man once
I tell you I'd rather die

I was!
I was that man once
I'd rather die
DIE!
Why can't you understand why
I only got one heart
and it's the wellspring of life
LIFE!
why oh why will you die?
Give your heart to one love
JESUS CHRIST!
You can change this all now
You can let it go
And walk into the light
Please leave this darkness behind

Now
you'll finally know your own mind you can't run this time
desperate to rest
in the peace of the light
I'll be kneeling there
right by your side
Battering hell and I declare tonight.

Hell Relinquish Your Hold On My Sons!
Hell Relinquish Your Hold On My Sons!

    It's about pornography's hold on young men. They must stop the addiction, and give their heart entirely to Christ.

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
