[Unwritten Law]
Remember when, I was ten,
Lookin forward to Christmas again,
Everything, I enjoy,
Like the family Christmas tree and the toys,
And I?d wake up early morning
While mom and dad still snored in bed,
So I crept, down the steps,
Couldn't wait to see what Santa had left now

[Chorus]
I could not wait for Christmas day,
Wait for Christmas day now

[Unwritten Law]
Don't want to wait, gettin late,
March up stairs to give my parents a shake,
Get out of bed, sleepy heads,
Christmas doesn't start till you are awake,
As we gather around the tree
I open everything they gave to me,
So I stay, end up late,
Why can't it be Christmas everyday now

[Chorus]
I could not wait for Christmas day,
Wait for Christmas day now,
But I, but I, will have to wait for Christmas,
I will hafta wait for Christmas,
I will always wait for Christmas day

[Sum 41]
Now wake up Christmas morning, guess what I saw,
It's Unwritten Law and Sum 41 rock it raw,
With the message for kids sayin they should be nice
Not naughty 'cause, Santa knows karate, he's on the cross Vader,
Hip hop hoorayder , got wade on the beats,
Like AC Slater, if you good like Wally,
Or bad like the Beev, only Santa know the score
Come Christmas eve

[Chorus]
But I, but I will have to wait for Christmas,
I will have to wait for Christmas,
I will always wait for Christmas
Day now yeah, I could not wait for Christmas day.

    lol...I was thinking that he was trying to wake up his parents...it fits with the next two lines, anyway. "dont wanna wait, gettin late" a lot of parents make their kids wait until they wake up before they open their presents. i dont know, though, you could be right

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.

Silent Planet
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
