So what you waiting for?
So what you waiting for?

I have never compromised
I never gave in and so I
Have welcomed every challenge in my life
And I have never wandered blind
I'm led by hunger, and so I
Savor every drop each minute I'm alive

Leave nothing left behind

So what you waiting for, tell me what you're waiting for
Don't stand by and deny it
So what you waiting for, tell me what you're waiting for
Break new ground and defy it
Don't let the world outside
Leave you cornered and alone
So what you waiting for, tell me what you waiting for
Let them all be reminded

Don't let them undermine
Your dreams can never be stolen
Don't leave them stagnant, rotting on the vine
Say goodbye to anyone who tries
To bleed you dry, you will show them
You're blessed with an unlimited supply

Leave nothing left behind

So what you waiting for, tell me what you're waiting for
Don't stand by and deny it
So what you waiting for, tell me what you're waiting for
Break new ground and defy it
Don't let the world outside
Leave you cornered and alone
So what you waiting for, tell me what you waiting for
Let them all be reminded

(So what you waiting for?)

So what you waiting for, tell me what you're waiting for
Don't stand by and deny it
So what you waiting for, tell me what you're waiting for
Break new ground and defy it
Don't let the world outside
Leave you cornered and alone
So what you waiting for, tell me what you waiting for
Let them all be reminded

So what you waiting for?
So what you waiting for?

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“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.
