We met in seventh grade in History.
Then just another one
Friendship was a few years to come
But I knew who you were.
I knew what you stood for
That much we had in common, but you had so much more
And I saw a joy in you I did not see in me
You were a light for all to see

Graduation came we moved to L.A.
(it was) so good to know a face,
A friend I didn't have to make
Those long drives home to Santa Cruz.
I grew so close to you,
Friends from then on through life.
Such a short length of time
Left here with thoughts of you that still inspire me
To be a light for all to see

And one day we will be together in our final goal in the presence of He,
The one that made us be, the one you served,
the one that your light helped us all to see

You're life was a picture of how I want to be

    Pretty up front. I am taking it literal. He met a girl when he was young, and didn't think much about her except that she had a joy that he did not have. Now the next part I am not sure of, either he left the location that she was in or the girl died. In either case, they separated leaving him inspired to be a "light" in the world.

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.
