This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Shabby boy?s kept you up all night
Oh, sentimental drinkers
Sing songs that end in fights about fights
And they'll swear to you
That they just can't help it
Know that poem in their head
That painting of your bed, it must out
Does time stand still
When you cross the room?
Oh, surely it must do
When they write a song
That goes on and on about you
Does your golden hair, fall in waves?
No mention of a spot
Tantrum or tooth rot, not for them
Just pearly smiles and Mona Lisa wiles
For your coterie of stars
Your barrel of charlatans
Celebrate, and they will venerate
Hold their heads in the morning glare
For with some faint praise
They will hold your gaze
And dedicate it all to you
Yeah, dedicate it all to you
Oh, you live your life in black and white
No subtlety for you, no mercy for the muse
It?s true
Come in again, number 10
Oh, your army of typewriters
Your consequence of biters won't last long
And life will burden you not
Love will carry on with a thrust
And they'll swear to you
That they just can't help it
That poem in their head
That painting of your bed
It must out, it must out
Celebrate and they will venerate
Hold their heads in the morning glare
For with some faint praise
They will hold your gaze
And dedicate it all to you
Yeah, dedicate it all to you
Yeah, dedicate it all to you
Oh, sentimental drinkers
Sing songs that end in fights about fights
And they'll swear to you
That they just can't help it
Know that poem in their head
That painting of your bed, it must out
Does time stand still
When you cross the room?
Oh, surely it must do
When they write a song
That goes on and on about you
Does your golden hair, fall in waves?
No mention of a spot
Tantrum or tooth rot, not for them
Just pearly smiles and Mona Lisa wiles
For your coterie of stars
Your barrel of charlatans
Celebrate, and they will venerate
Hold their heads in the morning glare
For with some faint praise
They will hold your gaze
And dedicate it all to you
Yeah, dedicate it all to you
Oh, you live your life in black and white
No subtlety for you, no mercy for the muse
It?s true
Come in again, number 10
Oh, your army of typewriters
Your consequence of biters won't last long
And life will burden you not
Love will carry on with a thrust
And they'll swear to you
That they just can't help it
That poem in their head
That painting of your bed
It must out, it must out
Celebrate and they will venerate
Hold their heads in the morning glare
For with some faint praise
They will hold your gaze
And dedicate it all to you
Yeah, dedicate it all to you
Yeah, dedicate it all to you

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.
