Une fois encore, j'ai essayé
Une fois encore, j'ai pardonné
Tellement de peur, tellement de larmes
Tellement de courage! Trouvé où? Je ne sais pas!

(Mais s'il suffirait de respirer?)
Espiègle et acharné!
(Bien qu'il s'agissait de s'asphixier!)
L'envie de vous m'a abusée
(Mais il suffirait de respirer!)
Une fin recommencée!
(Bien qu'il s'agissait de s'asphixier!)
L'écumes des jours, asphixie!

Rien. Un chagrin qui vous ronge comme une mauvaise plaie.
Un pas de plus vers le faux (étincelante, hélas)
Prenez moi dans vos bras
Rappelez moi tous mes échecs
Et aimez moi que je pleure enfin (étincelante hélas)
Tout mon saoul. Comme d'habitude.

    I wish I had paid more attention in my French classes! Or is it Italian?

    Haha, it's French alright.

    I think it's something like:

    once again, I have tried once again, I have forgiven so much fear, so much whining so much courage! found where? I don't know.

    (something with breathing, not sure how to translate it) cute and furious (something with suffocating) your jealousy has deceived me (something with breathing) a renewed ending (something with suffocating) the foam of the day (?), suffocate!

    nothing. a sadness you've eroded like a bad injury a step towards the forgery (beautiful, alas) take me in your arms remember me, all my failures and love me for I finally weep (beautiful, alas) all my (?). like a habit.

    I'm neither French nor English, so my translation probably has lots of mistakes.

    I'm a native french speaker so i'll try to make a decent translation (no offense):

    Once again, I tried Once again, I've forgiven So many fears, so many tears So much courage, found where? I don't know!

    (And if breathing was enough?) mischievous and dedicated (Even tough it was about suffocating) Desire for you abused me (But breathing would be enough!) An ending started again (Even though it was abiyt suffocating) L'écumes des jours[Title of a french novel, untranslatable], suffocation!

    Nothing. A sadness that erodes you like a bad wound. A step forward the false (shining[as in beautiful, adressing a woman], alas) Take me in your arms And remind me all my failures And love me so I can finally cry (shing[as in beautiful], alas) All my drunkness [Very hard to translate, as in "drunk" on something]. As usual.

    That's about what it says, altough a lot is lost in the translation. The song adresses a woman in a very formal manner, as in old french poems.

    Hope that helps.

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
