Just around the corner there's heartaches
Down the street that losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops
You'll find me at the home of the blues
I walk and cry while my heart beat
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The sun don't shine through
This window of mine
Because it's dark at the home of the blues
Oh, but the place is filled
With the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that I cry
And dreams that I've had left
Me feeling so bad
I just want to give up and lay down and die
So if you just lost your sweetheart
And it seems that there's no
Good way to choose
Well come along with me, misery loves company
And you're welcome at the home of the blues
Because just around the
Corner there's heartaches
Down the street that losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops
You'll find me at the home of the blues
You're going to find me at
The home of the blues

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.
