Mother, please don't worry
Yes, I am happy
Well at least, that is, for me

Father, give me the courage
Life's turned so sudden
I lack the will or energy

But I found someone watching over me
Steering us clear of tragedy
And I found someone watching over me
Steering us clear of tragedy

How can I help?
What do you need?

Brother, I know how you struggle
Just hold tight to your trouble
'Cause our support is getting weak

Father, don't be so stubborn
Just remove the burden
Or push it on, on to me

'Cause I found someone watching over me
Steering us clear of tragedy
And I found someone watching over me
Steering us clear of tragedy

'Cause all, all we are
Is the sum of the parts
From those that will listen to us

'Cause I found someone watching over me
Steering us clear of tragedy

For you, I'm always free
Always free
(Steering us clear of tragedy)
For you, I'll always be
(Steering us clear of tragedy)

'Cause I found someone watching over me
Steering us clear of tragedy

For you, I'm always
Always free
For you, I'll always be

    Such a beautiful song!

    I think I kind of hear "Remove the burden or push it all unto me" on the father verse though. I wonder if that "someone" is supposed to be a religious being or what?

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
