It's close to 2 AM I've given up
Trying to find her
I lost my heart under the neon lights
At the Starlite Diner

She used to sit across the table
Smoking her cigarettes
Well that was then
Now I've got this booth all to myself

I see her eyes I see her smile
I hear her laugh
Memories too close to home for something
That's never coming back

I lost my heart by those neon lights
At the Starlite Diner one November night
I thought I could make it but now
I see that I might die
All alone, my heart gone, here at the Starlite

Jukebox don't know it's the graveyard shift
It shakes rattles and rolls
Since the night that I lost my heart
The sad songs are all I know

Waitress brings me a coke
Calls me darlin
I think about my girl
Drinking coffee smoking her Camel wides
She was the sweetest thing in the world

I lost my heart by those neon lights
At the Starlite Diner one November night
I thought I could make it but now
I see that I might die
All alone, my heart gone, here at the Starlite

I lost my heart by those neon lights
At the Starlite Diner one November night
I thought I could make it but now
I see that I might die
All alone, my heart gone, here at the Starlite

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.
