I didn't really want to be on your team
I just want to wear the uniform
That was enough for me
But somehow you stole the ball from my court
And you voiced a game one on one
That I didn't want to play

I never had a guy to play the whole game
They always seem to quit at halftime
Leave the rest to me
I never thought love should be that way
If you're down you should be down
Until the buzzer rings

And I can't go back down that road again
Knowing that it is another dead end
Although I really want to take this ride with you
I'm not sure what our destination is
And baby this is why

I can't trust myself
'Cause everytime I get around you
I turn into someone else
I'm learning too much about you
You can't possibly
Be this perfect, see why
Anytime I get around you
I can't trust myself
Trust myself

When we are alone it drives me crazy
'Cause I hate the fact that I don't want your love
I find myself pushing you away
Then I turn around and I want you to stay
And I know it's kind of premature
But I just gotta be sure

And I can't go down that road again
Knowing that it is another dead end
Although I really want to take this ride with you
I'm not sure what our destination is
And baby that is why

I can't trust myself
'Cause everytime I get around you
I turn into someone else
I'm learning too much about you
You can't possibly
Be this perfect, see why
Anytime I get around you
I can't trust myself
Trust myself

Remember the time you looked into my eyes
I never want to be with another guy
Everytime I think of how you make me feel
I know you're the one for me
I never had someone to treat me like you do
I pinch myself I can't believe it's true
You're the one, you set me free
I'm falling in love and it's killing me

I can't trust myself
'Cause everytime I get around you
I turn into someone else
I'm learning too much about you
You can't possibly
Be this perfect, see why
Anytime I get around you
I can't trust myself
Trust myself

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

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.
