Eyes that blind like A glare
that comes from the sun
delivered from above
choking on the apple of youreye
I sit and wonder why
I sit here roped and tied
and I should've known
I should have been gone long ago
cause you're done
but where do I go
when I've no place to run?

I think it's gonna give me a heart attack
acting like a broken record
skipping every track

Iron out the wrinkles of your soul
and darn out the holes in your head
I carry my love for you in a thimble
and I sew back the seams of my love
in your heart with a rusty needle and thread
I should have been gone long ago
'cause you're done
now I look in your eyes
like I stare at the sun

I think you're gonna give me a heart attack
you're acting like a broken record
skipping every track

and I should've known
I should have not sewn these seeds so deep
but I'm sure that they will grow
from the tears that you weep
I should have been gone long ago
'cause you're done
now I look in your eyes
like I stare at the sun

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.
