The things you can do
With just a pen
And some paper

I put the art into artifice
I am the ultimate
Faker

My hands are steady
My eyesight sharp
As a razor

The great Mona Lisa
And still no one can
Duplicate her

Like I can
Oh, I am the man
The great interloper
Look a bit closer you'll see
It's me
Little me

My work in this cellar
Is not unlike
So many parlors

Where young ladies sit
And sip tea with their
Unruly fathers

Pretty and plucked
In petticoats
Men with collars

See how much grander
The world gets
When you make your dollars

Like I do
Oh, I'm no fool
It's never too late
But the profits too great to change
My ways
Crime pays

But babe I think it takes a toll
On this hungry little soul
Every time you turn to go

And babe if you get on that train
My heart will never beat again
There's so little truth here left to bend
The truth is not my friend
My friend

I am not crude
Raucous or rude
Like the others

A bit more refined
With a pragmatic mind
I've my druthers

To peel off this skin
Begin again
With another

Take the high road to fame
Where the love in my brain
Starts to stutter

Here I am
O the promised land
Plasticine Roses
Another heart closes
And then

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
