Before your time's up
These bars will open your mind up
The spirit inside ya will live on till time's done
But when the lights go out you might not rise up
Again like the sun, so embrace the present
You never know when you might lose somebody you love
Grievance hasn't got a button you can just turn off

Gotta stay true to yourself at any cost
Ascend to the sky, you won't get lost
When a loved one's here for a second then gone
Your heart beats to the sound of the drum
When someone above's still sending you signals
Letting you know you're not on your own
Hold onto your people 'cause we were born alone, we won't die alone

You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space when the world seems like it's colder
You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space

I've got love for friends and family who have fallen
Regardless of distance I know none of us here wanna be forgotten
Yeah, times get rough for the best of us
And daily life is just way too much
'Cause we're riding the waves in the ocean
Lost hope and faith and you're feeling crushed

We all need to move forward
Need to see that there's something more than
What we had 'cause we have it all
Emotions rise then emotions fall
Feel pushed back and against the wall
A positive mind will keep you strong
Strike the match, ignite the flames
So we can carry on

You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space when the world seems like it's colder
You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space

There comes a time in life
When someone will want you by their side
And need you to keep them strong
Alone they fall but we are one
There will be a time when everything's fine or so it seems
Left with memories, holding onto dreams

You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space when the world seems like it's colder

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.

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
