Get your hands please off my fable
I did not ask you to stop on by by by by
you try so hard at night
an animal who likes my fiction
You weave into and through these old worn
la la la lines come in you look too dry
now the reader holds on for an unknown
the diction follows oh so cold

the heat is here and he is open
his heart and blood flows towards the ocean
the words in his mouth won't be cold now
stuck in a hot jaw, wrapped in a soft part
the sun it burns well soon it'll go down
with only the fish to watch and rot on the shore

I could never seem so lonely to watch you die slowly
like a walk in the park or the stars in the dark
which will never shine as bright for me
if you were there and you were open
your heart and blood flowing towards the ocean
and me next to you on my knees
thinkin of a scene that wouldn't make a reader
sigh so i write and i cry
which leads to memories of what could be

the scene has changed now the ocean is no more
the gym is where we pick back up
he walks out alone cause the teams been disbanded
his heart is still broken but i cannot stand him
when you come near me, try to absolve me
the odds were not for us, his voice starts to tremble

    some minor corrections: You weave into and through these old worn la la la lines ... The words in his mouth won't be called out (possibly wrong?)

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.
