Really thought that I could live without you
Really thought that I could make it on my own
Sent you away, yeah, I said I didn't need you
I let you go, I let you go, I let you go
Now I'm so lost without you
Now you're not here and now I know

Lonely is the night when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
'Til you're in my arms, 'til you're here by my side
Lonely am I

Never thought that I, that I would need you
Never thought that I, that I'd be missing you
Gotta get you back, I've just got to find a way now
To let you know, to let you know, to let you know
That I'm so lost without you
And now this world just ain't right

Lonely is the night when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, ain't no light shining through
'Til you're in my arms, 'til you're here by my side
Lonely am I

I can make it through the day
I can fake it okay
I just smile and pretend
And I tell myself I'll be alright

But lonely is the night
Lonely is the night

Now I'm so lost without you
Now you're not here and now I know

Lonely is the night when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, there's no light shining through
'Til you're in my arms, 'til you're here by my side
Lonely is the night

Lonely is the night when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, there's no light shining through
'Til you're in my arms, 'til you're here by my side
Lonely is the night

Lonely is the night when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night, there's no light shining through
'Til you're in my arms, 'til you're here by my side
Lonely is the night

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
