Upon us all bought and sold into the lie of modern life given all the right things to pacify our anger and strife given the tv to help us forget modeling poisons we place our bets feeling like I can’t see a thing when my eyes are wide open under the millenium’s shadow hear the rain of justice fall awaiting all this time release upon us all under the millenium’s shadow hear the rain of justice fall awaiting all this time upon us all us all the currency of life stretched out to wait the blood on our hands will follow the fashion the innocent blood upon our plates withered in vision a martyred witness kept by contempt from our native stillness glued to the screams on the screen the false idols of order are calling under the millenium’s shadow hear the rain of justice fall awaiting all this time release upon us all under the millenium’s shadow hear the rain of justice fall awaiting all this time released upon us all we all die our choice lies in the time where we grow out of this modern life release upon us all we’re bought and sold into the lie of this fucking modern life our social mask calls our anger happiness we’re all crushed beneath the lie you’ve built calling you to wake the fuck up.

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.
