God, it's been along time since I've seen my girlfriend. I don't own her, but I'd surely love to see her.

I can't own my girlfriend but I can do my best to set her free. Maybe she can do the same for me


And Maybe seperation is gonna make it stronger
And all the seperation is gonna make it more for sure
Maybe seperation is gonna prove that we were wrong
Maybe seperation is gonna make it, make it, a little bit stronger
yeah, stronger, stronger

I recall the first trip that we took together out to Austin, Texas - we were only friends.

We decided to try our luck, slept in the back of a pickup truck on the Rio Grande - a place to call big ben (?)

Couldn't get to sleep that night underneath the cold starlight, the river was just 20 yards away

Couldn't help but wonder if she wanted me to steal a kiss, but I didn't steal, I waited for the right day

And Maybe seperation is gonna make it stronger
And all the seperation is gonna make it more for sure
Maybe seperation is just gonna prove that we were wrong
Maybe seperation is gonna make it, make it, a little bit stronger
yeah, stronger, stronger

Now I've got decisions about what to do, where to go - back to school, back out on the road

Does the future hold a place for her and me and time to waste, or does the time to pass come to take it's toll (?)

And Maybe seperation is gonna make it stronger
And all the seperation is gonna make it more for sure
Maybe seperation is gonna prove that we were wrong
And all the seperation is gonna make it, make it, a little bit stronger
yeah, stronger, stronger, common stronger, yeah. ...ect.

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.

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.

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.
