(I came to play)
I came to play
There's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to pay)
Say goodbye to the good old days
Their never coming back
Watch your future fade
(I came to play)
I came to play
To get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it can't be saved
I came to play

I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way

(I came to play)
I came to play
There's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to pay)
Say goodbye to the good old days
Their never coming back
Watch your future fade
(I came to play)
I came to play
To get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it can't be saved
(I came to play)

I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way (outta my way)
I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way
I came to play

Run away if you see me
Don't even say my name
Don't think that you can know me
Don't try and play that game
Every day that i get better
I watch as you get worse
My script is too the letter
And I'll write your final verse

I am here to stay (Well I'm here to stay)
And I have come to play

(I came to play)
I came to play
There's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to pay)
Say goodbye to the good old days
Their never coming back
Watch your future fade
(I came to play)
I came to play to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it can't be saved
(I came to play)

I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way
I came to play

I go inside this light
I see new life unfold
Each second i burn brighter
Your fire is going cold
You could try to beg for mercy
Go ahead and try to run
No ecaspe and no redemption
Understand the ends begun

I am here to stay (Well I'm here to stay)
And I have come to play

(I came to play)
I came to play
There's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to pay)
Say goodbye to the good old days
Their never coming back
Watch your future fade
(I came to play)
I came to play to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it can't be saved
I came to play

I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way (outta my way)

See all these lights there glowing
Hear all these people cheer
Feel all the love that's flowing
All just because I'm here
Get up and on your feet (get up)
Get your hands up in the air (get your hands up)
What you know about taking me down (yea)

I
Came
To
Play

(I came to play)
I came to play
There's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to pay)
Say goodbye to the good old days
Thier never coming back
Watch your future fade
(I came to play)
I came to play to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it cant be safe
I came to play

I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way

(I came to play)
I came to play
There's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to pay)
Say goodbye to the good old days
Their never coming back
Watch your future fade
(I came to play)
I came to play to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it can't be saved
I came to play

I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way (outta my way)
I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way
I came to play

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
