So Many Faces

Jarle Bernhoft

In this city, there are so many faces you can go insane
I'm still so lonely, I'm about about to faint
And I don't faint easily
Absurdities give my head the freeze
So crowded, still I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I didn't know I could be so alone
I'm on my own in here, I...

I got the big city blues, I don't wanna stick around
And I know that she knows
This here is all concrete, and I miss my little town
And I know that she knows
She knows

I'm sorry, but these are twists of a mind in a social frost
Just give me seven seconds to gather my thoughts
It seems we're dealing solely with a social consciousness
I got no other shoulder to cry on but my own
No other but my own
Please won't you bring me back home
I miss my home, oh

I got the big city blues, I don't wanna stick around
And I know that she knows
This here is all concrete, and I miss my little town
And I know that she knows
2x
She knows

It takes so many faces to fill me up
I'm way past the brim of this here cup
Ain't got no one to talk to, no one to hear me out
No one to do nothing but to be there

I got the big city blues, I don't wanna stick around
And I know that she knows
This here is all concrete, and I miss my little town
And I know that she knows
2x
She knows

I miss the houses, I miss the street
I miss all the people that greet me with a smile

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.

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.

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.
