When the sun drops behind the Mountains
Never to rise again
When comes the Death of the starlit fountains
Never to shine again
Then the gardens show withered flowers
Never to bloom again
And the crops will enjoy their last harvest
Never to go again

Where love is gone
It has begun
The dark clouds from above
He came to claim his crown

Hear the weeping of a thousand widows
In this time of war
Where powermongers expand their wealth
Fall victim to the evil's lore
Hear the mourners come and pray
To bury their beloved
Who lost their lives in senseless wars

Where love is gone
It has begun
The dark clouds from above
He came to claim his crown

It's not the evil from down below
Never to rise again
Which creeps and lurks under the snow
Never to shine again
It's not of Satan's will we fall
Never to bloom again
It's due to the evil in us all
Never to go again

Where love is gone
It has begun
The dark clouds from above
He came to claim his crown

In our time where love is gone
The harvest of souls it has begun

    This song is clearly about something or another; maybe it's George W. Bush. -The first stanza is describing the death of the world after nuclear holocaust, the direct result of World War III. -The second is describing our present situation -- the violence in the middle east, American imperialism, and the Religious Reich attempting to assert Biblical values on others. -The third is about the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) who spread as if harvesting souls, crushing opposition. In the end, the fog of war blankets all. The devil himself, then, takes advantage of the conflict between these groups and uses his influence over hatred to gain control. -The fourth and final stanza, then, is a warning that Satan is not the cause of the turmoil -- it is our own hatred and ignorance that brings about our ultimate destruction. Satan only capitalizes on what we ourselves have done.

    Clearly, I just pulled all of that out of my ass and it's probably all wrong. I mentioned Bush because, you know, that's edgy. Maybe it'll get some conversation going.

    The last bit's pretty good, though.

    Why would an Austrian band write a song about George W. Bush? I think it's just about how bad stuff happens to good people, but it's still us who create the bad stuff.

    Religious christian people blame satan (the devil) and non-christians for all the evil things we do, but the evil really lies in all of us. (In my opinion satan is the part of human nature that makes us fulfill our desires and being selfish, doing as we wish, not considering that it hurts other people.)

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
