Meats, foods, and vegetables,
Grains and dairy,
There's a town in Indiana known as Gary,
And it's quite scary,

Let's wander into the desert,
So I can look into your eyes,
Let's wander into the desert,
And see which one of us dies first,
Most likely gonna be of thirst,
Man that idea's the worst,

It makes no sense to marry Claire De Lune,
She's a treasure chest with nary a doubloon
I kissed her on the Earth side of the moon,
I don't know when her time is coming but mine's coming soon,

Snowcaps, Jujubes, and Raisinettes,
I'm going to Las Vegas going to place some bets,
Do all my betting off track,
Always bet on black,

Let's go into the jungle and dance around like a jerk,
Let's go out to the jungle to do some field work,
Observe the ways of the gorilla,
Study the gorilla,

Me and gorilla gonna have a good time,
Me and gorilla gonna have a good time,
Me and my best girl gonna have a good time,

It makes no sense to marry Claire De Lune,
She's a treasure chest with nary a doubloon
I kissed her on the Earth side of the moon,
I don't know when her time is coming but mine's coming soon,

    This is a strange song. My interpretation is a little rough but here's some food for thought.

    Clair de Lune is French for moonlight (which means Dick may have been lying on "I Don't Speak French)

    "she's a treasure chest with nary a doubloon" probably means she has nothing to offer the narrator (whether it be money or a metaphor for something else) so why should he marry her.

    I think this song might be about a relationship that is built on one component--probably sex--but outside of this main component their isn't anything else. They don't have anything to talk about. The beginning of the first and second verses might be examples of their worthless conversations: "Meats, foods and vegetables..."

    The treasure chest might mean that she is attractive/looks good on the outside but has nothing on the inside, in terms of intelligence.

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
