when we're all alone
and no one else is there
you tell me that you love me
you tell me that you care

but now you've gone away
'cause lovers' so much fun
so now I'm wondering
just what have I become

and I.never
wanted to be this close to you
you lead.me on
so now there's nothing I can do

you hardly speak a word
you hardly speak his name
but I know that he's there
he puts my hopes to shame

there's no more holding on
not one reason to pray
thinking to myself
will he ever go away?

and I.never
wanted to be this close to you
you lead.me on
so now there's nothing I can do

We play
the same game everyday
I lied
I never wanted it this way
We play
because you think there's no effect
even if it kills me
I'll lie..

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
