This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Truth of the matter is I'm complicated
You're as straight as they come
You go 'bout your day baby
While I hide from the sun
It's better if you don't understand
'Cause you won't know what it's like
Until you try
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other
Waiting on the other side
We would live forever
Who could ask for more
You could die if you wanted
But baby what for
It's better if you don't understand
And you won't know what it's like
Until you try
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other
Waiting on the other side
If they say life's a dream
Call this insomnia
'Cause this ain't Wonderland
It damn sure ain't Narnia
And once you cross the line
You can't change your mind
Yeah I'm a monster
But I'm no Frankenstein
And quite frankly
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I really can't explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you'd run and hide
Many have tried to go into the night
Cross over the line and come back alive
But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other
Waiting on the other side
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
You're as straight as they come
You go 'bout your day baby
While I hide from the sun
It's better if you don't understand
'Cause you won't know what it's like
Until you try
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other
Waiting on the other side
We would live forever
Who could ask for more
You could die if you wanted
But baby what for
It's better if you don't understand
And you won't know what it's like
Until you try
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other
Waiting on the other side
If they say life's a dream
Call this insomnia
'Cause this ain't Wonderland
It damn sure ain't Narnia
And once you cross the line
You can't change your mind
Yeah I'm a monster
But I'm no Frankenstein
And quite frankly
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I really can't explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you'd run and hide
Many have tried to go into the night
Cross over the line and come back alive
But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other
Waiting on the other side
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand

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.

I think you could apply this to someone who is gay and wanting someone who isn't, maybe that straight person is a close friend.
Truth of the matter is, I'm complicated (i'm gay) You're as straight as they come (you are straight . . .) You go 'bout your day (without being judged for who you are) while i hide from the sun (because 'coming out' would hurt)
It's better if you don't understand 'cause you won't know what it's like until you try (try, to be gay with me)
you know I, i'll be waiting on the other side (I'm gay | You are straight) and you, all gotta do is cross the line (come be gay with me) I could wait a whole lifetime but you gotta decide (between straight or gay) you know I, i'll be waiting on the other Waiting on the other side (I'm gay | You are straight)
we could live forever who could ask for more you could die if you wanted (face all the hate with me) but baby what for (it's too much for you to handle)
It's better if you don't understand (i wouldn't want you to get hurt) 'cause you won't know what it's like (it would be to real for you to handle) until you try (unless you try to be gay with me)
you know I, i'll be waiting on the other side (I'm gay | You are straight) and you, all gotta do is cross the line (come be gay with me) I could wait a whole lifetime but you gotta decide (between straight or gay) you know I, i'll be waiting on the other Waiting on the other side (I'm gay | You are straight)
If they say life's a dream call this insomnia 'cause this ain't wonderland it damn sure ain't narnia and once you cross the line (to be gay with me) you can't change your mind (once your gay, you're gay) yeah i'm a monster (by the rest of society's standards) but i'm no no Frankenstein and quite frankly i've been feeling insane in between my eyes i really can't explain what i feel inside (being gay is natural) If you knew what I was you'd run and hide (if you knew if i was gay, would we still be the same?) Many have tried to go into the night (hide in the closet, it's dark as night in here) cross over the line and come back alive (open the door, and be free, be alive) but that's the price we pay when we living on the other side (it hurts to be gay)
you know I, i'll be waiting on the other side (I'm gay | You are straight) and you, all gotta do is cross the line (come be gay with me) I could wait a whole lifetime but you gotta decide (between straight or gay) you know I, i'll be waiting on the other Waiting on the other side (I'm gay | You are straight)
(it's better to not cross, you won't get hurt) it's better if you don't understand it's better if you don't understand it's better if you don't understand it's better if you don't understand it's better if you don't understand it's better if you don't understand
