This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My, them handles is chased silver, ain't they?
Silver, yes
These are my friends
See how they glisten
See this one shine
How he smiles in the light
My friend
My faithful friend
Speak to me, friend
Whisper, I'll listen
I know, I know
You've been locked out of sight all these years
Like me, my friend
Well, I've come home
To find you waiting
Home
And we're together
And we'll do wonders
Won't we?
You there, my friend (I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd)
Come let me hold you (if you only knew, Mr. Todd)
Now, with a sigh (ooh, Mr. Todd)
You grow warm in my hand (you're warm in my hand)
My friend (you've come home)
My clever friend (always had a fondness for you, I did)
Rest now my friends (never you fear, Mr. Todd)
Soon I'll unfold you (you can move in here, Mr. Todd)
Soon you'll know splendors you never have dreamed all your days (will be yours)
My lucky friends
I'm your friend
'Til now your shine was merely silver (and you're mine)
Don't they shine beautiful?
Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T
Friends, you shall drip rubies
You'll soon drip precious rubies
At last my arm is complete again
Lift your razor high, Sweeney
Hear it singing, "Yes!"
Sink it in the rosy skin of righteousness
His voice was soft, his manner mild
He seldom laughed but he often smiled
He'd seen how civilized men behaved
He never forgot and he never forgave
Not Sweeney
Not Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
And how are they today?
Hungry as always, Miss Johanna
Silver, yes
These are my friends
See how they glisten
See this one shine
How he smiles in the light
My friend
My faithful friend
Speak to me, friend
Whisper, I'll listen
I know, I know
You've been locked out of sight all these years
Like me, my friend
Well, I've come home
To find you waiting
Home
And we're together
And we'll do wonders
Won't we?
You there, my friend (I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd)
Come let me hold you (if you only knew, Mr. Todd)
Now, with a sigh (ooh, Mr. Todd)
You grow warm in my hand (you're warm in my hand)
My friend (you've come home)
My clever friend (always had a fondness for you, I did)
Rest now my friends (never you fear, Mr. Todd)
Soon I'll unfold you (you can move in here, Mr. Todd)
Soon you'll know splendors you never have dreamed all your days (will be yours)
My lucky friends
I'm your friend
'Til now your shine was merely silver (and you're mine)
Don't they shine beautiful?
Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T
Friends, you shall drip rubies
You'll soon drip precious rubies
At last my arm is complete again
Lift your razor high, Sweeney
Hear it singing, "Yes!"
Sink it in the rosy skin of righteousness
His voice was soft, his manner mild
He seldom laughed but he often smiled
He'd seen how civilized men behaved
He never forgot and he never forgave
Not Sweeney
Not Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
And how are they today?
Hungry as always, Miss Johanna

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

“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.

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.
I like it when Mrs. Lovett breathes Sweeney in from behind him. I also like it too when she sings, "I'm your friend too..." It's a beautiful song.
