All the little pieces of time
Are adding up to nothing again
You'd think I'd finally get this right
I think I've fought it one time to many
Just one time to many

I'm the king of nothing today
Looking up to heaven I call your name

Come on and change me
Cause you know what I need
Could you break away the ice frozen around my heart
Could you reach through
And help me to know you
Cause I'm stranded in this place
Falling on my face over and over again

I'm holding onto all my mistakes
Thinking I'm not worthy of your grace
I need to know you love me tonight
Cause I've fallen one time too many
Just one time to many

I'm the king of nothing today
Looking up to heaven I call Your name

Am I really worth the price you paid for me
I can't believe it?
I hear you say

That you'll change me
Cause yo know what I need
And You'll break away the ice frozen around my heart
And You'll reach through
And help me to know you
Cause standing in this place
Calling on your name over and over
Come on and change me
Cause you know what I need
Could you break away the ice frozen around my heart
Could you reach through
And help me to know you
Cause I'm stranded in this place
Falling on my face over and over again

    I relate to this song so much more than other Christian songs. I love how he is so honest about the fact that he keeps stumbling and messing up, and he is calling out to God to please help him change his ways so he won't keep messing up. This pretty much describes my own walk with God-- constantly messing up, constantly falling short, and asking for God's help. I relate to this more than the worship-y "You are my savoir and I love you, I surrender all" songs that seem dominate Christian radio these days.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
