This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Give me one good reason why I should trust
Or see the good in both of us
When we came with love and left with lust
When we came with lies we've learnt to trust
Give me good reason to believe
In all I do and all I see
In all I see
We slip into something more comfortable
They like you best when you are vulnerable
Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night
Give me one good reason why I should trust
In all these things that turn to dust
When we beg we get down on our knees
When we're full we want to be empty
You loved the chase 'til it slowed down
You loved the hunt 'til it hit town
'Til it hit town
Slip into something invincible
Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night
Who do you trust when all I know
Is just at home in all the wars?
I've been somewhere, I've been somewhere
Who do you turn to when the best of everyone
You knew has turned on you?
I've been somwhere, i've been somewhere
Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night
Or see the good in both of us
When we came with love and left with lust
When we came with lies we've learnt to trust
Give me good reason to believe
In all I do and all I see
In all I see
We slip into something more comfortable
They like you best when you are vulnerable
Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night
Give me one good reason why I should trust
In all these things that turn to dust
When we beg we get down on our knees
When we're full we want to be empty
You loved the chase 'til it slowed down
You loved the hunt 'til it hit town
'Til it hit town
Slip into something invincible
Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night
Who do you trust when all I know
Is just at home in all the wars?
I've been somewhere, I've been somewhere
Who do you turn to when the best of everyone
You knew has turned on you?
I've been somwhere, i've been somewhere
Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
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.
This song is lovely. I think it's about the break down of a relationship (how cliché), but it seems that it can be more openly applied to situations.
"Just when you thought the world was yours When you thougth you had it all Just when you thought you'd done enough to Get you through the night, the night"
It's like as soon as you hit the top, you fall back down again. It's the wonderful thing that life does when you're walking along smoothly and then suddenly something trips you up again.
This is without doubt my favourite song on the new album, and oh so good to listen to in an emotional breakdown aha. I agree almost entirely with the comment above, it describes how life is, when things start going good you have it alright for a couple of weeks and then you fall back down to square one again. I've had this exact feeling lately and I honestly couldn't put it better than these guys have.

I without a doubt agree with the above comments, it could well deffinatly be about that, lifes a roller coster. But it seems to have also mentioned things about love.
God i love this song so bloody much
