There's a handwritten note pressed in the door of her screened in porch
And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore
She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, Her grandmother's dress
When I left home early this year, how I wound up here is anyone's guess
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again

Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly, I floated by and now I'm alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
My dear Brielle

Strolling over the sand, cobblestone paths that wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet forest air makes a shy boy aware that he could be free
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again

Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly, I floated by and now I'm alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
So until then I wish you well
For the time being farewell
My dear Brielle

    There's a hand written note pressed in the door of her screened in porch And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore She was still wearing white and robin eggs blue, her grandmothers dress when i left early this year, how I wound up here, is anyone's guess When the new sites grow old, and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again

    Goodbye Brielle, only whispers can tell, of the sweet dreams we knew so well I'll see you around, our dear ocean town, the frozen days we sat in place Send me drifting away, like a butterfly, you floated bye, and now your alone, I wish I knew when I'll be back again. So until then, I wish you well. my dear Brielle

    Strolling over the sand, and cobblestone paths that wind through the tree's and breathe in the sweet forest air, makes the blue bird aware that she could be free when the new sites grow old, and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again

    Goodbye Brielle, only whispers can tell, of the sweet dreams we knew so well I'll see you around, our dear ocean town, the frozen days we sat in place send me drifting away, like a butterfly, you floated bye, and now your alone, I wish I knew when I'll be back again. So until then, i wish you well, so until than I wish you well, I love you my darling farewell

    My dear Brielle.

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
