He built the windows high
And said it would last forever
He'd stare all night at the empty sky
To keep his thoughts together

To see the angel once again
She came to him back when
His life was full of promise
And he swore that he had all he needed then

Swore it would last forever
To see the angel once again
To see the angel once again
He wouldn't let her go

He swore it would last forever
She said that his love was a dead man's love
Draining the life from another
To see the angel once again

To see the angel once again
To see the angel once again
And if you're gonna live your life like that
It's gonna let you down

If you're gonna live your life like that
It's gonna let you down
If you're gonna live your life like that
(To see the angel once again)

It's gonna let you down
If you're gonna live your life like that
(To see the angel once again)
It's gonna let you down
And you won't see the angel
(To see the angel once again)
See the angel once again

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.

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
