I'm being shadowed by a shady stranger
Someone's always lookin' over my shoulder
I'm frightened just to walk around the corner
Your eyes upon me everywhere

I'd tell my friends but they're all losing temper
They keep on telling me I should know better
Sometimes I wonder if my mother sent you
She said she'd always be right there

Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder

Another morning and I'm sure I saw you
Behind the bushes with a photo camera
My doctors tell me that it's paranoia
But I can't shake this feeling that you're there

Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder

Now I go to sleeping now with one eye open
One of these days I'm gonna catch you lurking
Behind the curtains with evil intentions
But I can't get away from my own mind

I'm being shadowed by a shady stranger
(Feels like)
Someone's always lookin' over my shoulder
(So scared)
I'm frightened just to walk around the corner
(Last night)
Your eyes upon me everywhere

Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder

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.

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.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
