If you never had it then
You don't know how bad it is
There is nothing like it, well
Needless talk, then, I can tell but

Here comes the day I sit and wait (Dominoes are falling still)
Oh, it's always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running (As I know they always will)
Now I'm bummin' home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way (Dominoes, a test of will)
Just sit and wait
Always ponderin' my fate too late (Dominoes)
And then the day goes

I bought them from you yesterday
Little buts til you ask me
No one minds, I can tell
Seems I've hid the ones you shall, but

Here comes the day I sit and wait (Dominoes are falling still)
Oh, it's always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running (As I know they always will)
Now I'm bummin' home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way (Dominoes, a test of will)
Just sit and wait
Always ponderin' my fate too late (Dominoes)
And then the day goes

Dominoes are falling still (Oh, every day)
As I know they always will (I sit and wait)
Dominoes, a test of will (That's why I'm pondering my fate too late)
Dominoes (And then the day goes)

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.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
