What’s the problem with the human race?
No matter where I turn I can’t escape the double face
Don’t want to listen to the radio
Or stick around just to hear "I told you so"
How could we make it without you?
I should've known better to doubt you
I thought I heard the end of it

And now I know how far you'd go
To be the next freak show
American Psycho
Cover of the magazines, patron saint to troubled teens
Wish I’d never heard your name

Tomorrow could be just another day
A misdemeanor or a felony, that's ok
Don't wanna wait for a second chance
It’s your turn for the spotlight, the big dance
How could we make it without you?
I should've known better to doubt you
I thought I heard the end of it

And now I know how far you'd go
To be the next freak show
American Psycho
Cover of the magazines, patron saint to troubled teens
Wish I’d never heard your name

And they all wanna know
But I already know

What am I supposed to do
When you know that it’s all true
That you stole, that you lied, that you knew

Primadonna, self absorbed
Wide awake and never bored
Party, binge and purge, and see
Results of plastic surgery
Spotted at the hottest shows
Interview on Charlie Rose
They all want a piece of you

And now I know how far you;d go
To be the next freak show
American Psycho
Cover of the magazines, patron saint to troubled teens
Wish I never heard your name

And they all wanna know
How far you had to go
And I already know
How far you had to go!

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.

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.
