I'll have to leave just as soon as the colors begin to fade
I'll run away before lying to you becomes natural

What I had in mind was
What you held against me

Give me the keys and I'll drive you insane
Take apart your brain if you ever loved me

Never satisfied
Or just never coming back

(Stay away from me)
No, prep him for the ghost
Let him see the ghost
(Stay away from me)
Let it in and come to terms with what would have, could have been
(Stay away from me)
Prep him for the weight
Let him see the fate
(Stay away from me)
Fracturing relationships
And isolation

Do you wanna get mad about.. All your feelings won't change the world
Do you wanna get mad about.. Saying nothing, being nothing, be with someone else

I'll have to leave just as soon as the colors begin to fade
I'll run away before lying to you becomes natural

What I had in mind was
What you held against me

Give me the keys and I'll drive you insane
Take apart your brain if you ever loved me

Never satisfied
Or just never coming back

(Stay away from me)
No, prep him for the ghost
Let him see the ghost
(Stay away from me)
Let it in and come to terms with what would have, could have been
(Stay away from me)
Prep him for the weight
Let him see the fate
(Stay away from me)
Fracturing relationships
And isolation

Before you decide that this is dated
Take me out of the equation
What was it that you most hated?
All the time that you spent waiting

When the stomach becomes the mouth and its spewing all its garbage out
To think before speaking would prevent you from the point your making
When the stomach becomes the mouth and its spewing all its garbage out
To think before speaking would prevent you from the point your making

The slew of trails towards destiny, the perfect day to quit
The slew of trails in reverie, bite my crooked shape

    Ok, Am I the only one who's noticed that 2.38 - 3.35 is the exact same (ooooh) vocal melody on the exact same chord sequence as Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Can't Stop? It's just in a different key ;)

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
