This is what comes from the best intentions we have
they get lost with the rest; soon forgotten
And the money we spend is to make amends
for the time that we never

To make amends for the times that we've never given

We all feel real inside our skin
(With selfish hearts that hide our sin)
But everyone that hides away can't win
We all feel real inside your skin

If God is good, then what are we
There is no plant without a seed
When morning comes, will we believe
All that was lost can be retrieved

We all feel real inside our skin
With selfish hearts that hide our sin
But no one really knows how deep the secrets

We will separate ourselves from everyone that we know
(We say we're so misunderstood)
We can't allow a single doubt that we've yet to show
(But I know we don't do the things we should)
And just one more day without the shame and I can move on
(So long to what I thought I was)
I'll be happier, I'll be happier when I...

We will separate ourselves from everyone that we know
(We say we're so misunderstood)
We can't allow a single doubt that we've yet to show
(but I know we don't do the things we should)
And just one more day without the shame and I can move on
(So long to what I thought I was)
I'll be happier, happier when I've given up

Wisdom light my way into the dark
Your words, the melody that carries me
We can't make a change ‘til we know who we are
What burns? The fire refining me
Wisdom light my way into the dark
The melody that carries me
We can't make a change, know who we are
The fire refining me
Refining me

    I think the line "The fire refining me, refining me" may refer to Zechariah 13:9 -

    I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure. I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘These are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
