Er ist fromm und sehr sensibel
Am seiner Wand ein Bild es Herrn
Er wischt die Flecken von der Bibel
Das Abendmahl verteilt er gern

Er liebt die Knaben aus dem Chor
Sie halten ihre Seelen rein
Doch Sorge macht ihm der Tenor
So muss er ihm ein nachsten sein
Auf seinen Nachttisch still und stumm
Ein Bild des Herrn
Er dreht es langsam um

Wenn die Turmurh zweimal schlagt
Hallelujah
Faltet er die Hande zum Gebet
Hallelujah
Er ist ohne Weib geblieben
Hallelujah
So muss er seinen nachsten lieben

Der junge Mann darf bein ihm bleiben
Die Sunde nistet ubern Bein
So hielft er gern sie auszutreiben
Bei Musik und Kerzenschein

Wenn die Turmurh zweimal schlagt
Hallelujah
Faltet er die Hande zum Gebet
Hallelujah
Er ist ohne Weib geblieben
Hallelujah
So muss er seinen nachsten lieben

Wenn die Turmurh zweimal schlagt
Hallelujah
Nimmt er den Jungen ins gebt
Hallelujah
Er ist der wahre Christ
Hallelujah
Und wei?, was Nachsten lieben ist

Dreh ich langsam um
Dreh ich um

    Jaeger- DOn't you follow current events? Did you not hear abotu the huge catholic church scandals abotu Priests raping altar boys (which was current when this song was released..)? Or were all those priests who were in the priesthood for 30+ years all Jewish posers too?

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.

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
