If you want control without any pain
How long will you suffer?
How long will you wait?
You see the friend that I knew
He cannot be found
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There's a place where I go
Without any sand
Only you can reach me
Only you're allowed
And you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember
A time without tears?
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
And you were a child
You dream all day long
You dream of the future
Get lost in your sounds
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
How long will you suffer?
How long will you wait?
You see the friend that I knew
He cannot be found
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There's a place where I go
Without any sand
Only you can reach me
Only you're allowed
And you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember
A time without tears?
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
And you were a child
You dream all day long
You dream of the future
Get lost in your sounds
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Head > Heels

“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think "Broken" is about a person watching a friend who has a condition that is either lifelong or it just started but the person was predisposed to it from birth, like autism or Alzheimers.
"You see the friend that I knew cannot be found, replaced by another, wearing his crown" - The friend's condition is deteriorating, (s)he's getting worse.
"There’s a place where I go without any sound. Only you can reach me. Only you’re allowed." - This is from the point of view of the person suffering the condition. Really fits autism. Also really fits Alzheimers.
"When you were a child, you'd dream all day long. You'd dream of the future, get lost in your songs." - This screams autism to me.
"Words long forgotten, forgotten somehow." - This screams Alzheimers to me.
"You were broken from the start." - The condition is either lifelong or the person was born predisposed to a condition that is now consuming them.
I submitted a change to the lyrics that are currently there to match what I put in this comment.
Personally I think it's more about self-inflicted "pain". Lines like "the friend that I knew" and saying that his friend "lost the crown", meaning he was normal once. I would tend to agree with Solresol who says it's about personal demons/drug addictions.
