I was walkin' through the night
underneath the starry, starry sky
All alone and full of fright, I came to realize
You won't believe the things I say
Struggle each and every day, each and every day


oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Freaked out in a foreign room
with a love and I
Quick glance, is it really you?
You gave me quite a fright
Into the living room, where we danced all night
Then I woke up beside you in a fake, but maybe real life

Foreign room

Came in flashing your gun, story of my life
In a picture, we were young
Well, look at us now
Cross the globe a thousand times
but I never made it back
Back to the foreign room, now I lead a foreign life

I know this is going to happen every which way
Too fast and then too slow, I watch it every day
I know this is going to happen every which way
Too fast and then too slow, I watch it every day

But I'm, Not gonna let this get me down
Not gonna let this get me down
Not gonna let this get me down
Not gonna let you get me down

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    I was walkin' through the night underneath the starry, starry sky All alone and full of fright, I came to realize You won't believe the things I say Struggle each and every day, each and every day

    oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Freaked out in a foreign room Middle of the night Quick glance, is it really you? You gave me quite a fright Into the living room, where we danced all night Then I woke up beside you in a fake, but maybe real life oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Camera flash and then you’re gone, story of my life In a picture, we were young Well, look at us now Cross the globe a thousand times but I never made it back Back to the foreign room, now I lead a foreign life

    I know this is going to happen every which way Too fast and then too slow, I watch it every day I know this is going to happen every which way Too fast and then too slow, I watch it every day

    But I'm, Not gonna let this get me down Not gonna let this get me down Not gonna let this get me down Not gonna let you get me down

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

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.
