I walk to the end of Unntai
Past the Forest of No Trees
Through the village of the Dundriarch
I could feel their eyes on me

Over mountains and volcanoes
Crumbling earth beneath my feet
Igniting sky and boiling oceans
Tasting elements so sweet

And I walk through the winter
Of endless snow

I knock on the door of fortune
And I greet her smiling face
She adorns me with her gifts and soon
I'm prepared to meet with fate

There was a cold bitter wind
As I press on, drinking to warm my skin
Stories are told with no end
Of fortune's dividend

The kings have made mistakes
Forsaking and disgracing
Their ignorance in haste creates a hatred
Far too great to lie in wait

And I summon the winter
Of endless snow

I stop at the fortress' doorstep
As I make to burn it down
I hear a voice calling to me threatening
Warning traitors to the crown

There was a cold bitter wind
As I set fire to the unworthy kingdom
Here it unfolds in the end
Of fortune's dividend

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
