How long can lovers stand
To prove they were right?

Why did I fold my hand?
Why choose another fight?

How long would we have gone
To know we shouldn't stay?

I saw you walk the wire
I watched you burn away

Somehow it moved me
Your love has powers over me
Oh what dream is this?
Somehow it towers over me

Send your love to move me
My world has powered over me
In perfect ruins
Somehow it towers over me

Who said we had it all?
Our hearts no longer lie
Who knew the veil would fall?
Who'd guess that we would cry?

What more were we to do?
Two souls who had their fill
Your love it keeps me here
You keep me wondering still

Somehow it moved me
Your love has powers over me
Oh what dream is this?
Somehow it towers over me

Send your love to move me
My world has powered over me
In perfect ruins
Somehow it towers over me

In perfect ruins
Somehow it towers over me
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm

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.
