This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Precious stones and stolen thrones vanish in a day
And your golden rings, your silver rings will crumble and decay.
Silks and satins and crimson velvet will someday fade away
But the stones will stand across the land and love will have its day.
Change will come to everyone, never question why
Sticks and stones will break your bones and words will make you cry
The sun will shiver, the moon will crumble and vanish from the sky
But the hills remain, love's the same, love will never die.
I can see the lights below us twinkle like the stars;
And I know they're waiting patiently for the day to break again.
Distant skies, different eyes, change has come so fast
Mother of pearl, distant girl clutches at the past
But in the sunset I see your eyes and they tell me nothing's lost
While the rocks remain, loves the same, strong love, strong love, strong love will last.
And your golden rings, your silver rings will crumble and decay.
Silks and satins and crimson velvet will someday fade away
But the stones will stand across the land and love will have its day.
Change will come to everyone, never question why
Sticks and stones will break your bones and words will make you cry
The sun will shiver, the moon will crumble and vanish from the sky
But the hills remain, love's the same, love will never die.
I can see the lights below us twinkle like the stars;
And I know they're waiting patiently for the day to break again.
Distant skies, different eyes, change has come so fast
Mother of pearl, distant girl clutches at the past
But in the sunset I see your eyes and they tell me nothing's lost
While the rocks remain, loves the same, strong love, strong love, strong love will last.

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
