Open up my eyes, flooded with daylight
Another sleepless night turns color black and white
With all the things I've said
There is just regret, repeating in my head

Hands into a fist, static in my head
Now I'm sitting face to face with loneliness
What did I expect, did I see forever in you?

I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could

Time to close my eyes, forget about this mess
And try to fix this tragic loss of innocence
But how can I forget, the things I have inside
When everything is dead?

I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Can't you see, you left me on my own
Give me one good reason why I should let go

With my hands around your neck
Who will stop me now?

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.
