This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Gonna find it hard to sleep through it all
This rain veil's gonna fall
Walk behind him, sweet duress
Try to conduct yourself
Behind royal walls, blacked out eyes
A solitary bird, high tension line
Dreaming of a pure white sky
Did somebody stop the time?
(Twisting in)
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
(Paying for)
Paying for your past crime
(She'll make)
She'll make a darling bride
Reached in, pulled out your life
Is this what you get in amoral times?
Used to burn, now no fire of life
Settle for the riches to be fed
Deliver to the valley of the bed
(Twisting in)
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
(Paying for)
Paying for your past crime
(She'll make)
She'll make a darling bride
Reached in, pulled out your life
Living's so dangerous
Try to conduct yourself
Remember what your mother said
Try and use your heart, not head
(Twisting in)
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
(Paying for)
Paying for your past crime
(She'll make)
She'll make a darling bride
Reached in, pulled out your life
(In)
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
(Paying for)
Paying for your past crime
(She'll make)
She'll make a darling bride
Reached in, pulled out your life
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
Paying for your past crime
She'll make a darling bride
This rain veil's gonna fall
Walk behind him, sweet duress
Try to conduct yourself
Behind royal walls, blacked out eyes
A solitary bird, high tension line
Dreaming of a pure white sky
Did somebody stop the time?
(Twisting in)
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
(Paying for)
Paying for your past crime
(She'll make)
She'll make a darling bride
Reached in, pulled out your life
Is this what you get in amoral times?
Used to burn, now no fire of life
Settle for the riches to be fed
Deliver to the valley of the bed
(Twisting in)
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
(Paying for)
Paying for your past crime
(She'll make)
She'll make a darling bride
Reached in, pulled out your life
Living's so dangerous
Try to conduct yourself
Remember what your mother said
Try and use your heart, not head
(Twisting in)
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
(Paying for)
Paying for your past crime
(She'll make)
She'll make a darling bride
Reached in, pulled out your life
(In)
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
(Paying for)
Paying for your past crime
(She'll make)
She'll make a darling bride
Reached in, pulled out your life
Twisting in, twisting out the knife
Paying for your past crime
She'll make a darling bride

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“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.
The band have said it's based on the Julie Christie film of the same name.
