Was it true that he had hard hands
Always pictured him hungry with a gun in his hands
Dirty boots and a steel frame
Will make it easy for the devil to stay home in the rain

I woke up to my favorite song
A song about heaven and where we went wrong
They carry me into the night
Till you ? took the love of my life

And I knew
I knew lov-lovee
And I knew
I knew lov-lovee

But I never ever thought that I'd need someone like you
Your spirit ? you were something new
And your eyes then you knew they cleared the dust from my brain
Heading down the highway doin' a 110

And I hope that this is the good in me
Just take ? your destiny
? sweet sweet sound
The one I want to be around

And I knew
I knew lov-love
And I knew
I knew lov-love

Make it real and take off into dust
Don't look back and turn it into diamonds

And I knew
I knew love

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.

Page

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.
