This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
He stays home from work this time
He never really told his wife
He never really told a lie but this time he decides that it's alright
It's alright
No one really knows his mind and no one knows behind his eyes
The man deserves a medal
But he's never really won a prize before
He goes to lock the door
He is falling in love
He knows it's enough
And the world looks down and frowns
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now
We all need you now
Someone said, where you going?
Someone said to you, goodbye
They deflect the disrespect when they say that they blame it on the times
They blame it on the time
We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife
They all know you're qualified but they lie when they blame it on the times
And we blame it on the times
He is falling in love
He knows it's enough
And the world looks down and frowns
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now
We all need you now
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now
He never really told his wife
He never really told a lie but this time he decides that it's alright
It's alright
No one really knows his mind and no one knows behind his eyes
The man deserves a medal
But he's never really won a prize before
He goes to lock the door
He is falling in love
He knows it's enough
And the world looks down and frowns
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now
We all need you now
Someone said, where you going?
Someone said to you, goodbye
They deflect the disrespect when they say that they blame it on the times
They blame it on the time
We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife
They all know you're qualified but they lie when they blame it on the times
And we blame it on the times
He is falling in love
He knows it's enough
And the world looks down and frowns
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now
We all need you now
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I can't help but think of Johnny, from a popular book/movie "The Outsiders". Johnny was abused by his father and was more of a quiet character. MAJOR SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS BOOK: He was Ponyboy's (the main character) best friend and died after he tried to rescue children from a burning church (I could elaborate more but it's about the song). The point? Johnny died not in vain and was Pony's only friend "Get up Johnny Boy", his thoughts that he can't live without him; he was his "pride and joy". I think the song definitley relates to this. Someone losing a part of them or a physical person and thinking it's the end, but they carry on.
@JCGJON that's exactly what i was thinking!
@JCGJON Omg I thought the same thing! When they say the gang wont be the same without johnny then some one else dies...
