I'm looking for a dirty job tonight,
Bon Jovi is on the radio and I'm on fire.
Sirens are tearing down the sky,
As I drive my life is falling.

Now I lay half-dead, 
On the side of the road.
When I see a cold breath coming out of the storm,
Is it fake or real,
When I touch your skin? 
Open up your heart and let me in.

I run away.
Forget my name,
It's just a memory.

I'm doing this for you.
'Cause we share the same blood.
Rust and fractures,
On Murder Avenue. 
Correct me if I'm wrong,
But your doubts are pretty strong.
Why do I still bleed,
On Murder Avenue?

I'm dealing with dangerous games tonight. 
I think about the bodies I'll have to hide.
Remembering the days we use to smile,
As I drive, that world is falling.

Now I'm digging the grave.
The lake is watching.
I'm gonna pray to my lord.
They're after me.
Is it fake or real,
When I touch your skin?
Open up your fuckin' mouth and let me in.

I run away.
Forget my name,
It's just a memory.

I'm doing this for you.
'Cause we share the same blood.
Rust and fractures,
On Murder Avenue. 
Correct me if I'm wrong,
But your doubts are pretty strong.
Why do I still bleed,
On Murder Avenue?

[musical break]

I'm doing this for you.
'Cause we share the same blood.
Rust and fractures,
On Murder Avenue. 
Correct me if I'm wrong,
But your doubts are pretty strong.
Why do I still bleed,
On Murder....

I'm doing this for you.
'Cause we share the same blood.
Rust and fractures,
On Murder Avenue. 
Correct me if I'm wrong,
But your doubts are pretty strong.
Why do I still bleed,
On Murder Avenue?

    Seems to me it generally refers to a situation in which someone made a bad choice on behalf of someone close (cos we share the same blood)...yet after suffering a lot in the act (as I lay half dead) the person loved still does not approve/like the singer.(open up your heart and let me in)

    In the song he has committed murder (hiding the bodies) and there is a search after him (sirens tearing down the sky)

    He accepts the only thing left is to move on and hope the loved person forgets about all of it. (I run away, forget my name, it's just a memory)

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.
