I feel a little creepy
With a stomach full of hate
And a head full of dreams
I’m sickened by the aftertaste
Of the lies that you fed me
While the roses covered up
The smell of dead meat
Love may transcend
But it’s also blind
I’m out of sight and
I’m going out of my mind

We only live once
So why should I let you
Drain me anymore
How can I ever forgive you
For the things you’ve done
You’re dead to me
Where were you when
I was all alone, no dial tone
You’re dead to me

Now I thin my blood with alcohol
And I’m waving to my heart
As my hopes fall
Your ring finger is naked now
And so am I
Numb to the core
And my eyes are dry
But I have to learn
How to let you go
And remind myself that I don’t know you anymore
Or maybe now I know you
Better than ever
‘Cause when you show
Your true colors
You reveal the scarlet letter

Now it’s time to face the truth I’ve lost my faith because of you

    To me, some girl has screwed this guy over, and this is when he realises that he no longer loves her and the lies are not worth it. Because this person, he has lost his faith in love and whilst he hates her, he isn't over her, and seems depressed.

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.
