Sharp disaster in a fresh new coma.
Was it worth it when it was over?
Proving yourself right, you'd make the biggest noise.

Well, I'd lock my hands behind my head,
I'd cover my heart and hit the deck,
I'd brace myself for the impact if I were you.

It's a long wait for an answer. Is there any news? Is there any word?
Was there trauma? Or a struggle? Am I missing? Or was the body found?

Is there anything worth looking for?
Worth loving for? Worth lying for?

Is there anything worth waiting for?
Worth living for? Worth dying for?

I'm home

    i just had the biggest epiphany about this song. the "its a long way for an answer, is there any news, is there any word..." is the living friend talking about a car crash maybe.... asking if drinking and driving was worth it(thats how i see it) and the second part of the chorus "is there anything....." thats the dead person, hes talking about life, and how nothing in your life means anything in the end, because no matter what happens in your life, you die. so nothing matters. atleast thats how i see it anyways

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
