This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's no secret that the stars
Are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world
Is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes
Eclipsed by a moon
You know, I don't see you
When she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend
Is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar
Won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something
You tell another person
So I'm telling you, child
And I will shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's not secret at all
It's no secret a conscience
Can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition
Bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal
Every poet is a thief
I'll kill their inspiration
And sing about the grief
Oh, I shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's not secret at all
Oh, this time you've gone to far
This time you've gone to far
I told ya
I told ya
I told ya
Oh, I shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky
Tonight
Oh, I shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's not secret at all
It's no secret that the stars
Are falling from the sky
The universe exploding
Under one man's lie
Look, I got to go
Yeah, I'm running out of change
There's a lot of things
If I could, I'd rearrange
Are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world
Is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes
Eclipsed by a moon
You know, I don't see you
When she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend
Is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar
Won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something
You tell another person
So I'm telling you, child
And I will shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's not secret at all
It's no secret a conscience
Can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition
Bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal
Every poet is a thief
I'll kill their inspiration
And sing about the grief
Oh, I shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's not secret at all
Oh, this time you've gone to far
This time you've gone to far
I told ya
I told ya
I told ya
Oh, I shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky
Tonight
Oh, I shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's not secret at all
It's no secret that the stars
Are falling from the sky
The universe exploding
Under one man's lie
Look, I got to go
Yeah, I'm running out of change
There's a lot of things
If I could, I'd rearrange

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
