This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The evening sun shines on the sea
Forgotten dreams come back to me
A river run dry returns in flood
Running through my veins
Running through my blood
It was a very special magic moment's glance
A dreamer back in paradise
A dancer lost in trance
Every word you said still echoes in my ears
When I close my eyes I still hear every noise
I would not waste a minute, if I had the choice
If I could make the winds raise with a prayer
I would call them all to take me there
Rivers run dry, but waters flow
No sun in the sky, but flowers grow
A silent scream that hurts my ears
A friendly word that causes fears
That's what we are
We live in the age of the paradox man
In riddles we speak and riddles we are
I cannot take anymore
From the day of our birth we are searching for tenderness
For the love we need and acceptance we seek without cautiousness
With every day that goes by our demands grow
While our conscience seems to get less
I am just like this myself
And so that is what I confess
It is a wired game we play
Everyone so led astray
How I wish there was somebody
That I could count upon
How many times in my life have I sold my own identity
Have I been the victim of my own incapacity
It's an endless flow
A constant up and down
Sometimes we are close to reach a shore
Sometimes we are close to drowning
Forever it goes on
From our first day to the last
There are some precious moments in between
They are all I need
They are all I care for
Rivers run dry, but waters flow
No sun in the sky, but flowers grow
"Yes" we say, but "No" we mean
Mostly things are not what they seem
That's how it is
We live in an age of paradoxes
Encoded in riddles
But nobody knows what they mean anymore
Wasting years with a second's levity
Undermining laws of gravity
Generations sacrificed on the altar of progress
If there would only be a place somewhere
That could offer me some rest
Where I could stay until this storm is over
So here is my request
It's an endless flow
A constant up and down
Sometimes we are close to reach a shore
Sometimes we are close to drowning
Forever it goes on
From our first day to the last
There are some precious moments in between
They are all I need
They are all I care for
Higher than high becomes lower than low
We go faster than fast, but move slower than slow
Perspectives change in the moment of truth
The travesty ends in the moment of proof
It was a very special magic moment's glance
A dreamer back in paradise
A dancer lost in trance
Every word you said still echoes in my ears
The shining sparkle in your eyes
This is all I need
This is all I care for
Forgotten dreams come back to me
A river run dry returns in flood
Running through my veins
Running through my blood
It was a very special magic moment's glance
A dreamer back in paradise
A dancer lost in trance
Every word you said still echoes in my ears
When I close my eyes I still hear every noise
I would not waste a minute, if I had the choice
If I could make the winds raise with a prayer
I would call them all to take me there
Rivers run dry, but waters flow
No sun in the sky, but flowers grow
A silent scream that hurts my ears
A friendly word that causes fears
That's what we are
We live in the age of the paradox man
In riddles we speak and riddles we are
I cannot take anymore
From the day of our birth we are searching for tenderness
For the love we need and acceptance we seek without cautiousness
With every day that goes by our demands grow
While our conscience seems to get less
I am just like this myself
And so that is what I confess
It is a wired game we play
Everyone so led astray
How I wish there was somebody
That I could count upon
How many times in my life have I sold my own identity
Have I been the victim of my own incapacity
It's an endless flow
A constant up and down
Sometimes we are close to reach a shore
Sometimes we are close to drowning
Forever it goes on
From our first day to the last
There are some precious moments in between

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
