the warped ripples were again fading out, before long the irreplaceable world perishes
eighth month(1), I suppose I still wait for you within the silent room inside the deeply terribly gloomy book
second month, by the rice paddies on the lake(2) you're so terribly fatigued and
even I've changed so completely that I don't know my own self-portrait
a knife in my right hand, I conquer you who are in a state of peace over and over again
a tear in my right eye, I conquer you who are in a state of lethargy over and over again
fourth month, separate desires and separate existences, however I guess I'm still in denial


say, lovely you and a corpse, a chandelier of stardust, the sky burst into tears
this crime now dances vividly on the lantern that is the moon
I just laugh again, was crying again...

say, my precious you and a corpse, a bet with the lake, good night my honey
be happy again, my wings can't flap again, they crumbled and fell off; I just laugh, was crying...

you cannot place... if this wish of mine comes true
someday in this place, I wait for you... the first month, I wait for you...



(1) all the months named are by the lunar calendar, so the eighth month, for example, isn't exactly equivalent to August
(2) he sings "hotori" ("in the vicinity of") but the word reads "aze" which means rice fields, which is what I used in translation.

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.
