Discovery of fire, America,
The invention of the wheel, steel work and democracy
Philosophy, the soviets and other events in history of humanity
Happened at a certain given moment in time

Won't go back to the days couldn't even start a fire
Won't go back to the days america'd not been discovered
The transition has been operated for ever
What had gone on before from what there'd been after

    I totally concur with DevastatorJr above. Marxist theory is a good place to start uncovering what Laetitia's thinking with her songs. This song in particular is very incisive not only as a thumbnail view of historical materialism, but also as a critique of ideology. "Philosophy" is mentioned alongside "steel work" and "the Soviets" as if it had happend as an isolated event and not as a continuing endevor. What is implied is that philosophy is no longer a viable enterprise, it is dead, no longer active. This is technically not true since there are plenty of philosopher PhDs to be found still "philosophizing". But Laetitia's point is well taken: why conitnue traditional paradigms of thought/action that have brought humanity nowhere?

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
