Love serenade,
Soothe me with the morning sun.
Help me find someone,
Peaceful and non-judgemental.
Holdin' me back,
And make me feel whole with life.
And stay the same.
Life.
Without the pain.

Why must we dream in metaphors?
Try to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand.
And why must we argue loudly?
When peace is our one salvation.
I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand
Yeah

Ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh

Someone lost their faith in, seeking God so they
Someone lost their faith in seeking God so they

Turn to the needle, back to the cradle. They were
Turn to the needle back to the cradle

Rocking it all too long.
Tell me what's going on with your life.
Has it stay the same?

Well why do we dream in metaphors?
Try to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand.

Tell me why must we argue loudly? When peace is our one,
Why must we argue
Salvation I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand
Yeah

Ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh ohhh...

Life will all stay the same
Life stay the same

Life will ease your pain
Life without no pain or shame

Why must we dream in metaphors?
We're trying to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand

Tell me why must we argue loudly when peace is our one
Why must we argue
Salvation I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand

Now why must we duh-ream in metaphors
Why do we dream in metaphors
Why do we dream

Something that's lost
Couldn't understand stand stand, I couldn't understand.

And you know I couldn't understand I just couldn't understand.

Couldn't understand stand stand, I couldn't understand.
Ah bah bah bah bah

And you know I couldn't understand, I just couldn't understand.
Aah, bah bah bah bah

Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I couldn't understand,
I just couldn't understand
Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I couldn't understand,
I just couldn't understand
Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I couldn't understand,
I just

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.

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/

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.
