Pierced in the heart
By a sinister dart
Thrown from and insecure tongue
Unaware of the arrow sticking out of her chest
Embedded when she was so young

I never would have thought
that the poison would rot
away and away and away
It eats at her pride, and she constantly hides
Afraid of what others will say

And often at night
She turns out the light
Anxiously waiting for sleep
The world of her dreams is better it seems
There she can finally be free

But the arrow it stays
its there when she wakes
Binding her feet to the ground
Perpetually holding her back from her goals
A mountain she can't get around

Let it go dear
And let your worries fall
Let it go dear
Nothing to fear at all
Let it go dear

Now she is old
Her body is cold
Alone in the bed as she cries
Nobody visits and tells her how alone
She quietly closes her eyes

Through all of her days
Arrows remain
Never permitting release
And with her last breath she is waiting for death
Hoping for Peace

Let it go dear
And let your worries fall
Let it go, dear
Nothing to fear at all
Let it go, dear

Let it go, dear

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.
