This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You say you don't waste your time
And you like to get down to the bottom line
And since you don't waste your time
Please stop wastin' mine
'Cause I know just what I want
And I'm afraid to sit and talk
About the things we used to say
To each other day to day
You're always late when it comes to love
You know everything but the things you need to know
(You need to know)
I think it's time for you to go but before you do
I think there's something you should know
If you don't use it
(Don't use it)
You'll lose it
(You'll lose it)
If you can't take it
(You can't take it)
Don't waste your time to fake it
I'm givin' my love to you
(My love to you)
And I want to
(Yee-hee)
And I'll take my chances
'Cause that's the way that life is
You know how funny life can be
I take a little from you, you take a little from me
I gave you love that you can't deny
Even up to here, I always try
Because I loved you, I loved you
Gave you all I had
Now you can stick it
Girl, that's too bad
A love like ours don't grow on trees
But you didn't listen and now you see
You're always late when it comes to love
You know everything but the things you need to know
I think it's time for you to go
(For you to go)
But before you do, I think there's something you should know
If you don't use it
You'll lose it
(You'll lose it)
If you can't take it
(Can't take it)
Don't waste your time to fake it
I'm givin' my love to you
(I'm givin' my love)
And I want to
And I'll take my chances
(Take my chances)
If you don't use it
You'll lose it
If you can't take it
(Can't take it)
Don't waste your time to fake it
I'm givin' my love to you
And I want to
And I'll take my chances
(And I'll take my chances)
If you don't use it
You'll lose it
If you can't take it
Don't waste your time to fake it
I'm givin' my love to you
And I want to
And I'll take my chances
If you don't use it
You'll lose it
If you can't take it
Don't waste your time to fake it
I'm givin' my love to you
And I want to
And I'll take my chances
And you like to get down to the bottom line
And since you don't waste your time
Please stop wastin' mine
'Cause I know just what I want
And I'm afraid to sit and talk
About the things we used to say
To each other day to day
You're always late when it comes to love
You know everything but the things you need to know
(You need to know)
I think it's time for you to go but before you do
I think there's something you should know
If you don't use it
(Don't use it)
You'll lose it
(You'll lose it)
If you can't take it
(You can't take it)
Don't waste your time to fake it
I'm givin' my love to you
(My love to you)
And I want to
(Yee-hee)
And I'll take my chances
'Cause that's the way that life is
You know how funny life can be
I take a little from you, you take a little from me
I gave you love that you can't deny
Even up to here, I always try
Because I loved you, I loved you
Gave you all I had
Now you can stick it

(And I'll take my chances)
If you don't use it
You'll lose it
If you can't take it
Don't waste your time to fake it
I'm givin' my love to you
And I want to
And I'll take my chances
If you don't use it
You'll lose it
If you can't take it
Don't waste your time to fake it
I'm givin' my love to you
And I want to
And I'll take my chances

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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”

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
