As the twilight gave birth to the night
I walked into the forest
The twisted trees clawing at the skies
These are my true domimions
The mist glows red and ablaze the sky
and the funeral wind blows cold
This is where I shall sacrifice
Here I will end my mortal life

Seduced by the October moon
drowning in it's frozen grace
Tempting my nocturnal lusts
Bathing my pale cold face
These dark forests are singing to me
In tongues it cries my name
Bidding me into it's deep dark womb
where my spirit forever shall dwell

And a cold wind of evil
whispers my name in the forest,
I dance with witches and trolls
As the twilight gave birth to the night
I am here... Forever

My burial place will be the mountains,
the forests and the seas
And so my name shall be remembered
for all eternity

And still it cold wind of evil
whispers my name
in the forest as my spirit dance with
witches and trolls
Their hymns are praising me
For I am heir newborn king...
Forever

These dark surroundings are mine,
from smallest slone to the tallest tree
And so I will to be ruler of this night
I will reign in divinity

    The outro to the this song is fucking out of this world. Actually, the whole album is, but this part especially.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
