Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy who's feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit

Those raindrops are falling on my head
They keep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job

Those raindrops are falling on my head
They keep falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues they sent to greet me won't defeat me
It won't be long for happiness steps up to meet me

Raindrops are falling on my head
And even though my eyes seem to be turning red
Crying's not for me

'Cause I'm not complaining about the rain that keeps falling
Because I'm free and nothing's worryin' me
Nothing's worryin' me, nothing's worryin' me

But there's one thing I know
The blues they sent to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long for happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops are falling on my head
And though it seems as though my eyes are turning red
Crying's not for me

I'm not complaining about the rain that keeps falling
Because I'm free and nothing's worryin' me
No, no, nothing's worryin' me

Happy days, nothing's worryin' me
Happy days, nothing's worryin' me
Watch the rain, yeah, falling on my head
I said nothing, nothing's worryin' me

Happy days
Happy days
Nothing's worryin' me

And if rain drops falling on me
And nothing's worryin' me
Nothing's worryin' me

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”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
