What if all I want is not so hard after all?
I've spent too many days wanting
If it's just wildflowers that we could pick
And set on the table and look at in the morning

I see it when you do just what I said
And I don't feel then that my heart
Knows the difference

"Let me sleep," is all that you ask of me
But I can't remember a dream that didn't scare me
So what if it's just one sentence
That you must not have heard in a song
Cause it's too honest and flawed

I see it when you do just what I said
And I don't feel then that my heart
Knows the difference

Next time, will I not imagine
I know how you could save me
And love me enough?
Next time, will I not imagine
You have something
To soothe me that
I've never had?

    To me It seems like maybe an internal battle of thinking she knows all the things he could do to make you feel loved and happy. That she's so certain if she could just get her point across in the right way he'd be more consistent. Then a realization that it's the memory of spontaneous moments that hold the most happiness for her. Then wondering if next time she's struggling will she remember the realization or repeat the process again.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
