Lowly do I sit, the night lay dormant as I muse the thoughts
Of lives passed, and reason with forgotten lore
Remembering within these halls, the curves around your face
Beauty lost; apparition haunting me, dancing in the pale moonlight
Such silence profound in the night
Until a ravens cry shatters repose
In the cold of winter nights, my hands are splintered from the beating
Of my fists upon the bloodied floors
A sanctuary lost within these hallowed halls, such emptiness abound
Such silence deafening to ears, but what's this pounding on my chamber door?
As if striking a hammer to bones
Is this the tone of my taker
As I count the days and nights
Watching shadows pass before my eyes
Years begin to crawl
And I shall hear your voice cry forevermore
And as this silence evolves with each heartbeat that echoes its fears
And in halls I shall hear your voice scream forevermore
And as the shadows grow long
Within the light that now fades in the mist
And in halls I shall remain in darkness forevermore
Confined in abysmal time
Showing no signs of release
Detained in horrific eyes
Piercing with a gaze of remorse
But there he rides on the winds of this gloom
And there he howls with an unearthly wail that shakes me
I sit and try to gasp for air, my chest is tight from apprehension
From this beast that dares to perch and mock my woes
Repeating shrieks of nevermore this wretched hound abounds and vexes me
Peering into my soul with hate, like hell fires spawned behind his gates
Is he the one that will take me away
To lay among the worms
As I sit and stare the pounding palpitates the pulse of blood that's frozen
Through my veins like lifeless corpse in rest
This ravens daunting prophecies have sparked a revelation in my mind
That all of this, my purgatory, shall repeat until I'm under stone
And still this creature insists that he crows
His demoniacal sight As I count the days and nights, watching shadows pass before my eyes
Years begin to crawl
And I shall hear your voice cry forevermore

And as this silence evolves with each heartbeat that echoes its fears
And in these halls I shall hear your voice scream forevermore
Confined in abysmal time Showing no signs of release
Detained in horrific eyes
Piercing with a gaze of remorse
But there he rides on the winds of this gloom
And there he howls

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
