She dreams of Staten Island
She never ever dreams of Walthamstow
Her friends are getting married
Getting their hair cut like Jill Dando
She hopes that Terry Soams won’t ask her out tonight
For the fourth time
She wants to be alone

With the curtains drawn and the stereo on
She swings her hips and dances to the Wu-Tang Clan
And the sadness ebbs away now
She shuts her eyes and throws her head up high
It's better when there’s no one around
And she’s feeling something real now

And on the train home everyone moves away
Because she stinks of work
And she does, and she knows so it doesn't hurt
And in her mind she pictures ODB
In his prison cell alone
It's not wrong to want to be alone
She would tell him so

With the curtains drawn and the stereo on
She swings her hips and dances to the Wu-Tang Clan
And the sadness ebbs away now
She shuts her eyes and throws her head up high
It's better when there’s no one around
And she’s feeling something real now

And RZA, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck
Golden Arms will hold the time out of harm
In the council flat tonight
And the thought hits her at 105 BPM
That sometimes for a second
She believes that everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
