Won't you run underneath the door.
Take my home, treat it as your own.

My mother told me don't you run away,
Because it takes a man to keep them hungry,
But I'm so damn cold,
And if this blood don't turn to gold
I think I'm doomed.

Ooh, Yeah.

The time has come my friend to run,
I bid you please to take the roses an the loaded gun I left you
'Cause I'm hopin' now you find somehow
That I'm so damn cold,
And if this blood don't turn to gold,
I think I'm doomed.

Ooh, Yeah.

    My Interpretation

    I see it differently - I agree with the financial problems, but not the wedding. To me it sounds as if he's got himself and a friend into a mess, through some business venture or scam, and upset a lot of people - that would be the 'them' that are so hungry, for justice or what's been taken from them. His mother advises him not to run and to be a man about it.

    The chorus is him being 'so cold' as he has nowhere to hide, cold with fear etc. The running for gold is him saying that he'd give away his blood to be out of the mess, as unlikely as it is that he'd do that.

    Second verse, he's made up his mind: he's going to run, but his friend has decided to stay and face off against whatever he's running from - 'take the roses and the loaded gun I left you.' He's almost sure his friend is not going to come out well, so the roses are like a farewell gift.

    Just how I see it.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
