Just a face in the crowd,
Unidentified, passing by,
A ship lost in the sea,
Aiming for, do you know?
One of a million stars, anonymous,
No one cares if you're there,
Looking for someone who shares
What's behind every wall and door,
Lonely out in space,
Want to find a place I can call my home.

I'm just a face in the crowd,
If someone out there really loves me,
Let me know,
Let me know.

Like a number in a line that never ends,
Until it ends,
Lost in the universe,
Feel like I'm hanging on a string,
Who holds this dream?
Just a little man, can I understand?
There must be a hand,
Someone with a mind that must be behind,
This can't be all by chance.

I'm just a face in the crowd,
If someone out there really loves me, let me know,
I want to know, I have to know,
Please let me know,
If someone loves me, please let me know,
If someone loves me,
I have to know, I have to know,
I have to know,
'Cause the shadow of this cross reaches even us,
Lost in time and space,
'Cause the shadow of the cross reaches even us,
Lost in time and space, yeah,
Oh

A face in the crowd,
A face in the crowd,
A face in the crowd,
A face in the crowd

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
