I want to top the rose petals that whisper sweet
Come on

So dark, dark, so dark
So dark, dark, so dark

Inside lookin' out my window
I don't see nothin' but rain
Sun up in the sky just a shinin' (just a shinin')
Still, I'm lost in my shadow of pain

Like an innocent man that's on death row
I don't understand what made you go
And want to leave me, baby
Leave me in the dark

Can you tell me, tell me?

You took my sex and my money (money)
Took all my self-esteem, yes, you did
You had the nerve to think it was funny (funny)
I never knew a bitch so mean, oh, yes sir

You absolutely drove a man to tears
All I really know is that you sincerely
You want to hurt me, baby, oh yes, you do
You want to hurt me in the dark

(Sunshine) somebody make the sun shine
(Dark cloud) somebody take this dark cloud away

Just as sure as Noah built the ark
That's how sure
That's how sure I am you broke my heart

How could you, baby, leave me in the dark?
Baby,
Ooh, so dark
So dark, dark, so dark
Feel like the sun ain't never gonna shine
You left me in the dark
So dark, dark, so dark
I don't know, I don't know why we ever had to part
Baby, can't see a damn thing out my window it's so dark (so dark)
(So dark, dark, so dark)

Ooh, sometimes I want to curse the ground you walk on
Even when I know that everything you feel I feel it to
I want to curse you, baby
Ooh
You left me in the dark
And now I want to, I want to curse you, baby
For leavin' me alone, alone, alone
You left me in the dark, oh yes, you did
And now all I want to say is

In the dark
Ow, ah, you left me
Ow, huh, you left me
It's like bein' on death row (in the dark)
I don't understand why you had to go
I don't understand why you (hurt me in the dark)
Don't understand why you (hurt me in the dark)
Don't understand why you hurt me (hurt me, hurt me)
Hurt me (hurt me in, hurt me in)
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me (hurt me in the dark)
Just leave me
In the dark
In the dark

So dark, dark, so dark (in the dark)
So dark, dark, so dark
In the dark

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
