Dans une coupe de champagne
Où je m'étais noyée un soir
J'ai vu mes châteaux en Espagne
En ruine au fond de ma mémoire
J'ai vu fondre les espérances
De la fillette que j'étais
J'ai conjugué sans indulgence
Mon temps présent, au temps passé

Ma vie s'en va de jour en jour
L'aurais-je vécue sans amour ?
Je n'ai rien compris à ces jeux
Qui rendent tant de femmes heureuses
À moins bien sûr qu'elles mentent un peu

Dans une coupe de champagne
Où je noyais mon insomnie
J'ai vu défilé les montagnes
Et les abîmes de ma vie
C'est incroyable la mémoire
Comme ça déforme la vue
Ça vaut un conte une autre histoire
Que celle que l'on a vécue

Ma vie s'en va de jour en jour
L'aurais-je vécue sans amour ?
Je n'ai rien compris à ces jeux
Qui rendent tant de femmes heureuses
À moins bien sûr qu'elles mentent un peu

Dans une coupe de champagne
Six fois remplie, six fois vidée
J'ai revu ces choses qui gagnent
Très souvent à être oubliées
J'ai revu des tas de visages
Qui mentaient ou qui disaient vrai
Ma vie ne sera qu'un voyage
Dans une galerie de portraits

Ma vie s'en va de jour en jour
L'aurais-je vécue sans amour ?
Je n'ai rien compris à ces jeux
Qui rendent tant de femmes heureuses
À moins bien sûr qu'elles mentent un peu

Par une coupe de champagne
J'ai remis l'endroit à l'envers
J'ai compris que ce que l'on gagne
Ne vaut jamais ce que l'on perd

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
