You feel it for sure
It's down there
They think you're so pure
It's down there
It's down there
There
There

And now I feel like a museum
Just look around and you can see them
You're always so nice
But they'll find out
It just won't suffice
It won't do
It won't do
won't do
For you

And now I feel like a museum
Just look around and you can see them
And if your heart is old and rusty
And all the halls are dark and dusty
Rattle around with me
Rattle around with me

You want to know
If you should go
You'd rather be
In here with me

And now I feel like a museum
Just look around and you can see them
And if your heart is old and rusty
And all the halls are dark and dusty
Rattle around with me
Rattle around with me
Rattle around with me
Rattle around with me
Rattle around with me
Rattle around with me

    My Interpretation

    In order to keep a positive image, the subject of the song refuses to make their (somehow scandalous) (lesbian?) relationship with the singer public, and has likely cut down on the time they spend together.

    This leads the singer to compare herself an old museum, rarely visited in spite of its wonders, yet she is still inviting to her lover.

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.

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”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
