Oh god!
Sean Don
Fall Out, Boi!

Did you trip down 12 steps into Malibu, ooh ooh
(Malibu, ooh, ooh, oh,)
So why the hell is there a light that's keeping us forever
Bel Air baby, did you get dressed up,
Pretty pout, pout
Until you bottomed up, oh
I can't stop it when there's chemicals keeping us together
I'm singing

Whoa
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
They fall in love
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
Oh how the mighty fall in love

Your crooked love is just a pyramid scheme
And I'm dizzy on dreams (and I'm dizzy on dreams)
But if you ask me two's a whole lot lonelier than one
Baby we should have left our love in the gutter where we found it
(Gutter where we found it)
'Cause your only crime is that you got caught
I'm singing

Whoa
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
They fall in love
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
Oh how the mighty fall in love

It's getting clear
You're never coming clean
Lock you up inside, and swallow, swallow the key

Hello?
Yeah I know you said not to call unless I'm dying
But I'm driving and I can't stop staring at my eyelids
But even though my eyes closed, I still see you
I just hope that when you see me I'm not see-through
You know how we do

Sometimes I swear, I need a day just for me to lay
With some T and A, but the way we, they way we is do deeper
Baby straight up chemistry DNA
Make me wanna give you every dollar out my B of A
Like, I let her climb on top
I'm either fuckin or workin', so the grind don't stop
They say I got screws missing, well hell, only when I'm missing you
And hell yeah I'm a dick, girl, addicted to you

Whoa
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
They fall in love
How the mighty fall
The mighty fall
The mighty fall
Oh how the mighty fall in love

    I feel like this is about a relationship where he knows it's unhealthy and she's a Hollywood type of girl (Bel Air, pout pout). Always drinking and never staying sober for long (falling down the 12 steps), but he can't stay away even when he knows it's not good for either of them, so the mighty fall (in love).

    He refers to her crooked love being like a pyramid scheme, which are usually to get rich quickly, but it could mean to get famous quickly for her. He admits that she'll never come clean and he just continues to fall for her.

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.
