Cold am I, I'm beside myself
Because there's no one else
Have I grown so blind
Only God could save you
If you knew your way to the light
So fly away and leave it behind
Just stay away
There's nowhere to hide

I see you
'Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
'Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
'Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
They're coming to take you away

Frail and dry, I could lose it all
But I cannot recall, it's all wrong
Don't cry, clear away this hate
And we could start to make it alright
So fly away and leave it behind
Return someday
With red in your eyes

I see you
'Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
'Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
'Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
They're coming to take you away

I see you
'Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
'Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
'Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
They're coming to take you away (away)

    I love this song so much. Nobody else has put anything of the sort, but it really reminds me of a guy who has done something wrong or is in a really bad situation or is a wanted criminal or something similar and there's a girl who he loves, and she loves him too, but she loves him too much to leave him and he thinks she should go and not be affiliated with him in any way so she won't get as screwed up as him or get hurt.

    Cold am I I'm beside myself because there's no one else Have I grown so blind? Only God could save you if you knew your way to the light

    He's basically saying that he made a huge mistake being with this girl and that she could stay as she is if she leaves him.

    So fly away and leave it behind Just stay awake There's nowhere to hide

    He wants her to cut off all her connections to him and be alert of any other troubles.

    I see you cause you won't get out of my way I hear you cause you wont quit screaming my name I feel you cause you won't stop touching my skin I need you, they're coming to take you away

    He loves her so much and she refuses to go but "They" are the bad things about him that could infect her.

    Frail and dry I could lose it all but I cannot recall it's all wrong Don't cry, clear away this hate and we can start to make it alright

    He could be done for at any moment, and he doesn't want her to pity or sympathize with him, and he thinks the first thing she could do to improve the situation is to go.

    So fly away and leave it behind Return someday with red in your eyes

    Again, he wants her to go, and if things go as planned but he does get screwed, she can avenge it eventually, she can "see red" i.e. get angry.

    Chorus x2

    Yeah, an obscure idea, but it could work.

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.

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.
