Out Of The Question

Mumm-ra

Lights, out of the darkness
What did you see?
What did you see?
And I, I don't see the likeness
I'm trying to see
I'm trying to see

If you believe me look in my eyes
As you delight me don't' breathe a sigh

I'm caught in the reason
I'm caught in the reason
You wanted a reason
You wanted a reason
For all the things I said
Its out of the question
Its out of the question
Right out of the question
Right out of the question
I'd rather stop being dead

This is the only thing I know
The writings on the wall
Its what we're standing for
So I
I'm getting to notice
I try to explain
I try to explain

If you believe me look in my eyes
As you delight me don't' breathe a sigh

I'm caught in the reason
I'm caught in the reason
You wanted a reason
You wanted a reason
For all the things I said
Its out of the question
Its out of the question
Right out of the question
Right out of the question
I'd rather stop being

Lights
Out of the darkness
What did you see?
What did you see?
And I
I don't see the likeness
I'm trying to see
I'm trying to see

I'm caught in the reason
I'm caught in the reason
You wanted a reason
You wanted a reason
For all the things I said
Its out of the question
Its out of the question
Right out of the question
Right out of the question
I'd rather stop being dead

This is the only thing I know
The writings on the wall
Its what we're standing for

    I think it's 'you can't be reason you can't be the reason you can't be the reason you won't be the reason for all the things I said'

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.

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.

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.
