This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
These mirrors you've broken are your cry for art
Salt and pepper shakers over your shoulders
Cross your heart
Don't you know it's bad luck
To stay in one place for too long?
You've been listening to the voices in your head
Helpless when they go
So we play a game of snakes and ladders
Gambled our mistakes
Didn't know what could come after
Threw away the cards
Who thinks it could matter?
Oh, who believes in fate, anyway?
When only you could be the one
To win out over me
When it isn't just a game
It's the way we come undone
What a perfect accident
Oh, we danced around them all
Like we didn't even notice
I love the way we come undone
Thought I saw something hidin' in the yard
But it was bad weather to keep a watch out in the dark
You know, all this time I've been playing for your heart
But I never let it on
I'll have to watch you play the part
So we played a game of snakes and ladders
Gambled our mistakes
Didn't know what could come after
Threw away the cards
Who thinks it could matter?
Oh, who believes in fate anyway?
When only you could be the one
To win out over me
When it isn't just a game
It's the way we come undone
What a perfect accident
Oh, we danced around them all
Like we didn't even notice
I love the way we come undone
Salt and pepper shakers over your shoulders
Cross your heart
Don't you know it's bad luck
To stay in one place for too long?
You've been listening to the voices in your head
Helpless when they go
So we play a game of snakes and ladders
Gambled our mistakes
Didn't know what could come after
Threw away the cards
Who thinks it could matter?
Oh, who believes in fate, anyway?
When only you could be the one
To win out over me
When it isn't just a game
It's the way we come undone
What a perfect accident
Oh, we danced around them all
Like we didn't even notice
I love the way we come undone
Thought I saw something hidin' in the yard
But it was bad weather to keep a watch out in the dark
You know, all this time I've been playing for your heart
But I never let it on
I'll have to watch you play the part
So we played a game of snakes and ladders
Gambled our mistakes
Didn't know what could come after
Threw away the cards
Who thinks it could matter?
Oh, who believes in fate anyway?
When only you could be the one
To win out over me
When it isn't just a game
It's the way we come undone
What a perfect accident
Oh, we danced around them all
Like we didn't even notice
I love the way we come undone

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
this is such a beautiful song. i really like the how the lyrics discuss the flaws in people, how when you try to get close to anyone your taking a risk, but its a beautifully worth it risk.
No taxi towns here: "What a perfect accident. Oh we danced around them all"
No divorce either: "You've been listening to voices in your head. Helpless when they go."
It's about how sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and embrace the risk of failure in order to taste success.
for me it's about playing a game..
this thing between two people learning how to .. how to get together. it's like being in love... and accepting that it's just a game yet...
it's all about winning, losing, gambling, a game, dancing, playing, ... this unknown.. a great song.. can't stop hearing it. her voice, these harmonies.. it just.. flows..
I believe "Thought I saw something hard and in the yard" is actually "Thought I saw something hidin' in the yard".
