Talking about family
Talking about trees
Driving through the tracks and cones
Brings a bitter boy to his knees

Wrap him up in coattails
Water soaked in pine
Each time we come back around
He's wandering off and cluttering minds

Weld it up
Taking the long talk home
and my arms start grating
my mind is shaken
We walk it off
Taking the long talk home
my legs start grating
My mind is shaking it off

Golden silence courted
Bread and cheese with wine
We've won it and We'll horde it
This silence in our lines
Wake me up and roll me out
Before I get to running up twice

Talking over family
Talking over trees
We'll talk about the bad blood
Let's talk about the thieves
Don't wake me because I'm nervous
And I've been falling down
Don't take her for a goddess
That's not how goddess sounds
We'll make them all return it
When the time is right
And call them to the borders
cause the war has come
I've been sunken from long ago
Your head is right and your body knows
you're over faith and you're over time
You're over fate and you're over lines

    Can't believe no one has commented on this song yet. I really enjoy it, both because of how the song builds on itself and because teh lyrics get me all ramped up and I don't know why. I think that a certain sentiment is reflected in the words - the idea that the polite silence and tact in a coversation or relationship is something that was hard won but now slipping, that tensions are growing, and that a conflict is rapidly coming to the fore. The specifics, though, befuddle me. "Water soaked in pine,"? I also like the belicose turn it takes towards the end... the threat of real violence, rather than ambiguous conflict, matches well.

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
