Sitting with this one man
And he says to me that he understands
"It's hard to admit that the world around you
The one that spins
Is the sane one."
It's the sane one

And I go home to Jessie
And I ask her
Jessie, is it true?
Are we alone out here
You and I and the lizards?
And Jessie, Jessie says to me
How could we ever be alone
When we've got each other?

Jessie smiles at me and takes my hand
And we turn to face the horizon where the mountains Obscure that flat line that you can see from everywhere else
The shadows crawl across the desert
But I'm not scared because I know, I know
I know that my girl and I will shortly save the world

Jessie holds the sacrificial instrument
And She draws blood from her hand
And a pentagram in the sand
And we pray
For a quick end to our lives
And Jessie says
Are you ready?
Are you ready to die
For your cause,
For the message?
A thrust of the blade
And Jessie says

This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die

I can hear the crowds from the town getting closer
And Jessie stirs in her sleep,
And she wakes, with sweat on her brow
And I say, "Honey, where will we go now?"

And Jessie laughs through the tears on her cheeks.
And she says, "Babe, don't you already know?"
She takes my hand.
The sky is black, and filled with smoke
And Jessie says, "Are you ready to go?"

This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die

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”

Silent Planet
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
