Next weekend so suddenly
I try to see the mates
but I have changed
I tried to tell you everything
I guess I wasn't right
and now it's just too late

C'mon, c'mon
that's not what I said
believe, believe
what I meant

All my friends have come and gone
it's like my past erased
and traveled into space
and logically I'm confused
I'm turning to you was
my best solution

C'mon, c'mon
that's not what I said (not what I said)
believe, believe
what I meant (what I meant)
Ease up, ease up
and life will get better (life will get better)
enjoy, enjoy
it's all okay

Today I've come to choose my ways
I've seen it all before
I thought it wasn't so
that you will always hide
even when it's not
intended to be that way, that way
1 2 Betty Go!

C'mon, c'mon
that's not what I said
believe, believe
what I meant
Ease up, ease up
and life will get better
enjoy, enjoy
it's all okay

C'mon, c'mon
that's not what I said (not what I said)
believe, believe
what I meant (what I meant)
Ease up, ease up
and life will get better (life will get better)
enjoy, enjoy
it's all okay

With all of the thing that I've thrown in your face
It only caused you pain
I have to go now it doesn't make much sense
It's all that I've got left

It's all that I've got left [x8]

    I think it's about when things get out of hand, things are said and taken the wrong way, and before you know it you're at ends with your best friends. Then you realize that you acted foolishly and almost threw away a good thing. Step back, relax, life will get better. Just don't call it quits because the friendship is all you have left.

    And btw, Betty, referenced to in the song and in the band's name, is Betty Cisneros, the guitarist. I love this song, so I'll need to check out their other stuff.

    these are the correct lyrics: Next week came so suddenly I tried to see the ways, that I have changed I tried to tell you everything I guess time wasn't right, and now it's just too late

    Come on, come on It's not what I said Believe, believe What I meant

    All my friends have come and gone It's like my past erased, and traveled into space I'm logically all confused And turning to you was, my best solution

    Come on, come on It's not what I said (not what I said) Believe, believe What I meant (what I meant) Ease up, ease up And life will get better (life will get better) Enjoy, enjoy It's all there

    Today I've come to choose my ways I've seen it all before I thought it wasn't so The truth will always hurt Even when it's not intended to be that way That way

    ONE, TWO, BETTY GO!!

    Come on, come on It's not what I said Believe, believe What I meant Ease up, ease up And life will get better Enjoy, enjoy It's all there

    Come on, come on It's not what I said (not what I said) Believe, believe What I meant (what I meant) Ease up, ease up And life will get better (life will get better) Enjoy, enjoy It's all there

    With all the things that I've thrown in your face And only caused you pain I've got to go now It doesn't make much sense, it's all that I've got left It's all that I've got left [x8]

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
