Au loin je vois des drapeaux en pagaille
Autour de moi les gosses tombent sous la mitraille
Au loin je vois des drapeaux qui vacillent
J'aperçois les marteaux, pas les faucilles
Brutes assoiffées dessus me sont tombées
Sur le revers de l'uniforme un signe difforme
Vagues souvenirs
De gens fiers, poings levés, courant dans les rues
Tchécoslovaques perdus,
Tournés vers l'ouest rien de nouveau
A la porte de chez toi réouvre le tombeau
La vue de leurs chars te laissera hagard hagard
Au loin je vois des drapeaux qui flottent
Le long des avenues ces gens chaussés de bottes
Au loin je vois des drapeaux qui vacillent
J'aperçois les marteaux, pas les faucilles
Brutes bien entraînées, propagande guérilla,
Qui d'un geste, d'un seul te mettent au pas
Idéologie construite sur vos cadavres
Ecoutez-les chanter le fusil pointé
Ecoutez-les vanter leur système politique
Où tu marches dans le rang par la trique et les flics
Devinez-les courtois si tu bouges je t'abats
Devinez-les féroces quand au napalm ils brûleront vos gosses
Au loin je vois des drapeaux en pagaille
Autour de moi les gosses et leurs entrailles
Au loin je vois des drapeaux qui s'enflamment
En hurlant dans la ville courent vos femmes vos âmes
Restez donc insouciants, restez donc perplexes ?
Invitez-les à boire, à manger, à se distraire
Assis à table ils parleront des cris qu'on fait taire
Ils parleront de la mort et de son pouvoir
Ils viennent chez vous pour se satisfaire
De vous voir à genoux de tendre la joue
Crachez-leur au visage dans l'ultime dans le sauvage
Prenez-les dans vos mires visez la tête sans fléchir
Au loin faites que je voie jamais de drapeaux
Que les gosses continuent à rire à être beaux
Autour faites que s'épanouissent les familles
Sans le poids d'un marteau ni l'ombre d'une faucille.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
