I've had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush by
How does he twist the dance
Can't find my drink, oh man
Where are my keys, I lost my phone

What's going on on the floor
I love this record baby but I can't see straight
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright

Just dance
Gonna be okay, been here before
Just dance
Spin that record baby, loud on the floor
Just dance
Can't hear my phone, when you don't call
Just dance, dance

(Just dance)

Wish I could shut my play boy mouth
I let you turn me inside out
Control your poison babe
Roses have thorns, they say
Tonight we'll dance away the pain

What's going on on the floor
I love this record baby but I can't think straight
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright

Just dance
Gonna be okay, been here before
Just dance
Spin that record baby, loud on the floor
Just dance
Can't hear my phone, when you don't call
Just dance, dance
Dance, dance

( Mr. Dialysis: )
Jump for more shots (?) to be hardcore
I lost my mind on the dance floor
I know that the time is past four
But who cares, cus my heart is a dark force
To be reckoned with
She took your everything
Apart, opened it, and then shut your dick(?)
Never give love to a pretty girl
With a negative outlook
There's no such as a friend, no benefits
So sweet, so elegant
So meek, so intelligent
I forget
Like the night is my last night
And the past lives mean nothing
So, I can lose my composure
Lost in space, cus my world's over
My world's over

( Gary Go: )
Just dance
Gonna be okay, been here before
Just dance
Spin that record baby, loud on the floor
Just dance
Can't hear my phone, when you don't call
Just dance, dance
I'm spinning, spinning

I'm spinning, but the feeling's inside
I'm spinning, but the feeling won't die
I'm shaking, but the pain is too real
I'm dancing, but it won't disappear

    to me, this song is an example of gary go taking an incredibly hollow, shallow, cheap, party, dance song that has glimmers of potential and transforming it into a tremendously touching, beautiful and honest song. despite it being a cover, you really get the feel that these words mean a lot to him, albeit largely from the words he put in himself. it's miles better than the lady gaga version, which to me is nothing more than another petty attempt to get a crappy, meaningless song--some "fucking song about fucking," to use the words of a personal favorite singer songwriter of mine--onto the top 100.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“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.
