I can relate the story of my life.
No brighter hope, no stronger emotion.
And I believed I could die over you.
How you could ever
Break down and never see me through,
Through my darkest night.

And as I lie awake,
One prayer within me burning.
And there's no price on what you hold till it's gone,
Then it keeps moving on.

Where is my heart?
You know I will be waiting to be a part of you
And never feel the pain.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had with you.

The only love.
No use in me pretending
To be a part of you
And you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
With, with you.
With you.

So we agree to let each other go.
No long goodbye.
Just your way and my way.
And I can stand how you cried to be free.
High as the wind blows,
But not enough to bring you home to me.
And only lonely knows.

You see my open arms.
You know my flame is burning.
But I'm too blind to see the end has begun.
And it keeps moving on.

The only love.
No use in me pretending
To be a part of you
And you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
With you.

The only love.
No use in me pretending
To be a part of you
And you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
With you.

The only love.
One love that will not die.
You may be sorry that I built my world around you.
The only love
Is only you and I.
There will be others who would leave you as I found you.

The only love.
One love that will not die

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.
