Air, air
Air, a-air
Air, air
Air, a-air

I never let love in, I left it on the dresser
I never let love leave an impression
But like a fingerprint now I found you at my fingertips
And I just wanna text you every second
You're always on my mind like reflections on my shades
I gotta look away cause I could stare at you for days
I can give you every millisecond every day
(You, you)
You can buy the time that I can give away

I'm not gonna lie I want your body
But I know there's more than just your body
I don't want you with just somebody
Ima let you know

I need to sit down girl
Cause I can't breathe
You take my breath away from me
Ooh girl can't you see
What you've done to me
You take my breath away from me

You got me, got me fighting for air, air
You got me, got me fighting for air, a- air

Yea, yea, yea

My life isn't measured by the breath's I take
But the moments with you that take my breath away
I don't need you in heels but I need your head over
Come a little closer
Rest your head up on my shoulder
(You, you)
Now you got me smiling
Blown cover
Face with them cupcakes
No butter
They say love is blind but
You're so fine
If I keep you in my life I'd never close my eyes

I'm not gonna lie I want your body
But I know there's more than just your body
I don't want you with just somebody
Ima let you know

I need to sit down girl
Cause I can't breathe
You take my breathe away from me
Ooh girl can't you see
What you've done to me
You take my breath away from me

You got me, got me fighting for air, air
You got me, got me fighting for air, a- air

Hold up
Lemme take a breath
Suffocating
Is there any time left for love?
Le-lemme take a breath
Suffocating
Is there any time left?

I need to sit down girl
Cause I can't breathe
You take my breath away from me
Ooh girl can't you see
What you've done to me
You take my breath away from me

You got me, got me fighting for air, air
You got me, got me fighting for air, a-air
You got me, got me fighting for air, air
You, you, you, got me, got me fighting for air, a-air

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
