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

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.

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.
