Pearl in the shell
耀く瞬間(とき)
閉じ込めた光の 伝わるまで
重ねたい ずっと綺麗でいる
季節を追うように君を見てた
You're my special 波間に濡れる
白く艶やかな その
想いは何を写し出す?
薄く開く扉に
音もなく 滑り込んで
場面(シーン)を変える
一つ選ぶ宝石 贅沢な物語が
叶わず揺れて
秘密も嘘も 透けるヴェールで
甘くないまま 欲しいものがある
Pearl in the shell
耀く瞬間(とき)
閉じ込めた光の 伝わるまで
重ねたい ずっと綺麗でいる
季節を追うように君を見てた
You're my special 波間に濡れる
白く艶やかな その
想いは何を写し出す?
細い鎖が絡み 途中からほどく事を
諦めるように
傷む事も知らずに
それなのに君に一番
近付きたかった
迷っていない 怖いだけ
全て しそうな夜があるから
You ring a bell
聴かせて 瞬間(いま)
閉じかけた唇 求めるまで
「離さない...」 続ける言葉に
信じてない筈の"絶対"を告げる
You're my precious 深く 静かな
抱き締めた始まりが
秘かに明日を歌ってる

Pearl in the shell
耀く瞬間(とき)
閉じ込めた光が 伝わるなら
You ring a bell
聴かせて 瞬間(いま)
閉じかけた唇 求めるまで
「離さない...」 続ける言葉に
信じてない筈の"絶対"を告げる
You're my precious 深く 静かな
抱き締めた始まりが
秘かに明日を歌ってる

    A few lyrics corrections:1. instead of why you gotta make me out like this? -- it should be "why you gotta make me act like this?". 2. the last section should say talking about talking about war war war I'd rather talk about moi.

    also second verse should say -- field full of dope, not "fell for the dope"

    The correct lyrics are:

    "Shells on the floor The writing’s on the wall Bullets in your store Says "I’m hunting for you all"

    Field full of dope I’m harvesting my hope Shipping out speed boats So we’re not broke

    Coca-cola floats The stock market broke Somewhere in Angola we’re still craving for a goat

    Send me a post Yeah, send me something you wrote School of the hard knocks We don’t like to boast

    Go down the road Their cars are all in snow Boys fighting laws Got their AKs on show

    Kids playing ball They growing like they know Wanna make that doe Just to have something to show

    Buy Tees and Gold Bandanas and hoes Freedom costs money and they’re feeling really bored

    Vitamins are low Amphetamines high Busting out shots Onion rings and chicken pie Shells on the floor The writing’s on the wall Bullets in your store Says "I’m hunting for you all"

    Field full of dope I’m harvesting my hope Shipping out speed boats So we’re not broke

    Why you gotta make me act like this Why you gotta make me act like this I never wanted none of this shit Why you gotta make me act like this I never asked for none of this shit Why you gotta make me act like this

    Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi "

    I'm pretty sure the line's "the cars are rolling slow," not "the cars are all on show."

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
