This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Took your words like you said I should
And look what good they've done me
I played support system, you played victim
And look at what good it's done
And you trip me up leave me strangled
With you awkward untouchable lips
It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy
You're so glorious, sp waste of time
You're the safety in lying
You are radiator heat, you're the winter blanket's sleep
You're the excuse that I use when I want to stop trying
And start waiting for the sky to fall
It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy
It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy
You're not gold to me
I was wrong
You're not gold and there'll be centuries left
When you're gone
And look what good they've done me
I played support system, you played victim
And look at what good it's done
And you trip me up leave me strangled
With you awkward untouchable lips
It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy
You're so glorious, sp waste of time
You're the safety in lying
You are radiator heat, you're the winter blanket's sleep
You're the excuse that I use when I want to stop trying
And start waiting for the sky to fall
It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy
It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy
You're not gold to me
I was wrong
You're not gold and there'll be centuries left
When you're gone

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I always took the song to be more ironic than anything. Like, in spite of all the bad things that he sees in the relationship (the untouchable lips, the cold and cruel world, he still sees himself as a lucky boy for being with her/knowing her/being around her), he either can't get out of the relationship or he simply doesn't want to get out of it.
