I like to run through the crowded streets at night
When the people are dancin' and the feelin' is right.
So many things are happening at once
That between the street and my feet there is no resistance.
A butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker,
A job is a job but not undertaker.
Don't forget about the market, just take your car and park
On either side of the road, but don't forget to lock it.

It's all about lookin' at someone that you don't know,
Who's so unaware of the casual stare.
And nobody's knowin' that the grocery list is growin'
Like the rate of life's lawn which they're mowin'.
Call a street an isle, if you care to do it,
Take a walk through an alley but never find a lane.
Knickknack paddywack, someone's thinkin' behind your back, You need a vacation to a club by the sea.

Three more or two more, a wonderful addition
To the scene that's surrounded by a transparent crew.
“Ship off the old,” says Captain, “Block off the new stuff.”
Your prankin' ain't long enough, you're talkin' to who?
It's all about lookin' at someone that you don't know,
Who's so unaware of the casual stare.
Ignore this practice, before long they'll come to thank,
You're the leader of the blind, you're one big eye.

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
