We can have a day from here, if you'll take your heart!
Put some faith in ideals, the bank cards will all turn around
And rent will pay itself, you can sleep tonight.

Little boys in sweat-shops who will again be children
And tonight they'll eat the lions share!
Bombing skies will sing silent
And the anger turn to laughter.

And on the crucifix Christ doesn't admit
His own sin was a martyr for.
Your shoulders just as heavy
There is no mercy from three holes
And being bored of my life.
Rob the promise and direction given to me,
We're bound to self righteous living.

But tonight... it's all or nothing tonight.
But tonight... away!!!

It's all or nothing!
Is that the way it is starting or is that the way it declines?
Is that the way you're thinking or at least all you know is best!
The possibilities you got, the possibilities you give...
Is this justified living or is it out of sight?

Fingers rapping on the counter, patience wearing thin.
It's just another work week, arthritis at 18
for a minimum living.
Who has time to breathe?
Catch it before it's over, catch it before it eats you.

Hello perspective this is just the human condition.
It's universal love my god I think it's spreading!
They'll kick you when you're down,
Push you down when you're stumbling.
Another day of dying is just evolution.

You said freedom was a hope
Away an hand or a hard push,
Is this inclusive thinking? We run by a thread,
Tongue in cheek idealists.
And I'm not giving up the claim that I can save the world
And all I need is my friends!

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
