Life is like a sinking ship
And you are at the wheel
You see the hole is filling up
You know your fate is sealed
But still you keep on trying
To steer the ship to shore
It's time to learn the lesson
You should of known before

Well there's nothing you can do
And we don't believe in you
No there's nothing you can do
And we don't believe in you
No we don't believe in you

Life is like a ship at sea
We fear of storms to strike
Though you are the captain
You can't keep up the fight
The truth is there is much to fear
And more to make us cry
The ship is not worth saving
As hard as you may try

So there's nothing you can do
Cause we don't believe in you
No there's nothing you can do
And we don't believe in you
No there's nothing you can do
And we don't believe in you

Hate to say it, it's time to face the truth
And we don't believe in you
Try your hardest we couldn't help but lose
And we don't believe in you
No we don't believe in you

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.

Cajun Girl
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”
