Air-conditioning is cold,
summer's hot and love is old
I wish I was smaller,
a little creepy crawler.

There's lovers' sin in this town,
lovers cannot let down,
the summer's hot as hell here, you know,
if we think we can drink now,
we won't stop cause we don't know how,

it's cold, but we love
how it feels alright

I'll sweat it all out, you sweat a lot too
we heart the same, the same black and blue

ohh ohhhh , I wanna catch my death of cold
ohh ohhhhh , cause I'm scared I'm growing old
ohhh oh oh , don't return the love I gave
ohhhh oh oh, you're still my favourite

Troubles win in this town,
Troubles don't turn upside-down,
ohh - they shit on the last bit of fun

There's sin all around,
Lovers cannot let down,
and the winter wears and tears our bones.

There's a man in this town
he's shooting us down,
he thinks he's a big man but he doesnt know anything about us or anything at all.

At night he lies awake,
and his heart aches,
cause its cold - ohh ohh old,
he sweats it out all the night through,
then he throws up all over me and you.

ohh ohhh, I wanna catch my death of cold
ohhh ohhh, cause I'm scared of growin' old
ohh oh ohh, don't return the love I gave you
ohhh oh oh, you're still my favourite


ohh ohhh, I wanna catch my death of cold
ohhh ohhh, cause I'm scared I'm growin' old
ohh oh ohh, don't return the love I gave
ohhh oh oh, you're still my favourite

Air-conditioning is cold,
summer's hot and love is old
I wish I was even smaller,
a little creepy crawler.

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.

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”
