A thousand indecisions
launched from the table for one
lately they've been killing me
they were left unsung
I desire stop motion sickness
the potion in your breath companionment
abandonment death a thousand insecurities
dumped forever dumped endeavors
I’m awakened by the laugh comfort
in your sound whatever
I’m enamored by your smile
you put the words right
into my mouth
I love my antidote to death almost
died twice today
I wait on you to bail me
like everyone else
I confess lay my weary head on your chest
give you everything I never had

    This song which at a time was refered to by BA member Marko as the most "astronomical song next to Jessica's Sucide" Bad Astronaut has done. The song feature guest vocals and guitar by talented Scott Garth..he sings "almost died..twice today...."

    The song itself seems in my opinion to be about placing faith in someone..finally. After being laet down by people and the narrators own self, there is finally a psoitive influence in his/her life. an "antidote" to all that was negative, a final presence of comfort and rest.

    This is one of if not my favorit BA song

    He seems filled with a lot of self doubt, and talks about his perceived failures and insecurities. It's about a drug problem, and how someone, a girl, mother, brother, god, comforts him, and makes him strong again.

    yeah, this song is absolutely amazing! the soft and beautiful verses leading into more aggressive choruses, and then finally achieving what he struggled for.. it almost makes me cry everytime

    i see this song as an insecure infatuation with something (possibly drugs) or someone, the last line is "lay my leery head on your chest" - slight differant meaning to "weary", still relating to the theme of distrust but trying to build some. one of my fav BA songs :)

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
