This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Here I am in traffic's slow flow
(Where the needle touched down)
Carbon planes draw a cage around the air force base
(where the needle touched down)
My foot on the brake
Its OK to fly low
Over poor spanaway
An eagle swooped down from a semitrailer
Took the name of your town from a sharktooth freighter
The needles the same its recorded and played
As when you left me at the greyhound station the year I moved away
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
You'd still be here baby
My baby
Baby
that's why I never come back here
That's why they spit out my name
Your ex is a part of the battle
Trying to keep me away
The sledge of tectonic fever
The needle has landed again
Let it play
And the needle touched down
The needle has landed
The needle touched down
The needle has landed
The needle touched down from a semitrailer
Took the name of your town from a sharktooth freighter
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
You'd still be here
(Where the needle touched down)
Carbon planes draw a cage around the air force base
(where the needle touched down)
My foot on the brake
Its OK to fly low
Over poor spanaway
An eagle swooped down from a semitrailer
Took the name of your town from a sharktooth freighter
The needles the same its recorded and played
As when you left me at the greyhound station the year I moved away
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
You'd still be here baby
My baby
Baby
that's why I never come back here
That's why they spit out my name
Your ex is a part of the battle
Trying to keep me away
The sledge of tectonic fever
The needle has landed again
Let it play
And the needle touched down
The needle has landed
The needle touched down
The needle has landed
The needle touched down from a semitrailer
Took the name of your town from a sharktooth freighter
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
You'd still be here

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I'm pretty sure it's "...from a shark-toothed freighter". I've been trying to figure out this part of the song. I know that her father was in the US Air Force when they lived in Tacoma and that his air base was near Spanaway. A number of units in the US Air Force have traditionally used a shark mouth painting on the front of their planes. I have to wonder if this might be the reference. But other than that I have no idea what the song is really about. I know from interviews that quite a few of her songs are autobiographical so the ambiguous lyrics might just be due to not knowing her detailed history.
