Let's get the fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck out of here!
Let's get the fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck out of here!
Let's get the fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck out of here!

Don't test the captain's validity or his vulnerability.
I've seen the necks unnaturally twisted, craned to stars in the sky.
I've felt the chill upend the happiness of idiots in minutes;
they clutch their jewelry tight and say "How lucky am I!"

And like a drunk spills boons on his varsity letter,
can we forgive a ship of fools for what they don't know better?
I guess not.
"Man I hope he'll piss himself."
Analyze this room.
Grab that mop and broom and clean it up.
Man I hope he shits himself
when the rest of the shipwrecked long drowned in their graves
make a claim on the souls of the heartless fakes.
"Please help, my party flew away with the ocean mist.
I narrowly escaped to the roof."
But when the Night Rangers found me (dead, but for my liver)
and said "Don't tell me you love me", abhorrent and deliberate.
How we ruined the day's remains. Sinful.

A hero's humility is a foolish amenity.
Cups of coffee speed the heartbeats of the soonest to die.
I saw the first blood in the water, someone's mother or daughter.
I wait for troutman; Give me clearance for this chopper to fly.

Cause they were jumping off the backs of only sons,
offering up light snacks of younger ones.
"Well, how fast could our legs run?"

Let's get the fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck out of here!
The weak are screaming for the captain but the captain ain't here.
How we ruined the day's remains. Sinful.
The bodies splashed like paint.
To see so many scattered cockroaches running from the light.

Oh, when I saw them floating out to the river,
the cold inside my stomach was a hunger to me.
And if the devil makes a mess of all the raw meat,
Let him be.

Oh how my captain sailed it straight up the middle,
but the crooked lines are quicker when you're snorting them in.
Because if the devil's at your door you leave it open.
Let him in.

    God I love this band, even though i don't understand all of the metaphors.

    I think the whole sinking ship thing could also be a metaphor of life on earth in general. they start with let's get the fuck outta here literally wanting to get out of here , then the first verse describes the situation as it is at the moment: don't try to understand or correct or denounce the way the 'captain' (government etc.) runs the country, things went wrong before doing that ('necks unnaturally twisted'). the 'idiots' (rich people?) are glad they are alive but don't see the real world.

    they continue that ignorant people don't know better (like 'a drunk spilling boons') and by doing that they're destroying the world. Can't seem to grab the next section cause I'm confused by the two quotes.

    then with 'a hero's humility' i'm guessing they mean don't get high hopes, it's not what it seems, heroes aren't heroes and 'coffee' can only make things worse. You can see the first ones (the weak, the women, i don't think in literal sense, but to continue the metaphor of a ship sinking) already going down. The next bit fits with the metaphor but it's a bit difficult to place it in context.

    then the lat two verses explain how this person (i'm not sure if it's trevor or from the eyes of the them that were jumping off the backs... ) dreads to see all those people dying but at the same he thinks: let them. second bit the same, trying to rescue the ones that need help, it's a lot easier to just have everything for yourself (lines meaning sailing lines but also lines of cocaine)

    okay that's what i think, the fact that i'm even spending this long thinking about one song is what makes aws amazing.

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.
