Tuesday's here and I'll be waking up
to another day filled with life's mistakes,
And the ones that lingered from the day before.
All the blanks I've drawn,
All the times I've shared,
All the times that I've been unprepared.
All the songs I've sang that I just can't explain.

Did you know that I once said
That I can't change the road that I was led,
And can't find better friends.
Is it worth the pain?
Is it worth the wait?
As I attempt to set my record straight,
I'll open up the drapes
And I'll appreciate the most beautiful day.

Afternoon should be coming soon,
As dim light leaves, the sun shines over me,
It feels like my shadows run away.
Evening falls on top of me,
And the minutes creep by constantly.
Then I look back and start the day again.

Am I sorry, am I lost,
Have I forgot where I’m coming from
Or have I just begun?
Different days and different ways
Always seem to end up the same,
It's too routine for me.
Did you know that I once said
That I can’t change the road that I was led.
Forever more and lived forever in a day.

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”
