I thought about my scene today
And I've finally got the words to say
The truth is cutting like a knife
Gonna use it to cut away my strife
The grass is green and the sky is blue
My head is clear and my thoughts are true

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold
The time that takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

I wake up each day to the sun
And it's hard to chose what to do for fun
A blissful world surrounds me
And my brothers and sisters love is always free
Don't you know that I've waited my whole life
Just to show what's inside and let my love flow
That's what I'm sayin'

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold
The time that takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

(Dub break (figure it out)

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

It's the summer
It's the summer
It's the summer of love I say

I said it's the summer of love
My head is clear, and my thoughts are true

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.
