This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If you awaken from this illusion,
And you understand that black implies white, self implies other,
Life implies death, or shall I say death implies life,
You can feel yourself.
Not as a stranger in the world.
Not as something here on probation.
Not as something that has arrived here by fluke.
But you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental.
I'm not trying to sell you on this idea
In the sense of converting you to it
I want you to play with it.
I want you to think of its possibilities,
I'm not trying to prove it.
I'm just putting it forward as a possibility of life to think about.
So then, let's suppose that you were able
Every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream.
And that you could, for example, have the power
Within one night to dream 75 years of time.
Or any length of time you wanted to have.
And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams,
You would fulfill all your wishes.
You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive.
And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each
You would say "well, that was pretty great."
But now let's have a surprise.
Let's have a dream which isn't under control.
Where something is going to happen to me that I don't know when it's going to be.
And you would dig that and come out of that and say "wow that was a close shave, wasn't it?"
Then you would get more and more adventurous
And you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream.
And finally you would dream where you are now.
You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today.
That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have.
Of playing that you weren't God.
Because the whole nature of the godhead according to this idea is that he is not.
So in this idea then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality.
Not God in a politically kingly sense.
But God in the sense of being the self, the deep down basic whatever there is.
And you're all that, only you're pretending you're not.
And you understand that black implies white, self implies other,
Life implies death, or shall I say death implies life,
You can feel yourself.
Not as a stranger in the world.
Not as something here on probation.
Not as something that has arrived here by fluke.
But you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental.
I'm not trying to sell you on this idea

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.

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.
