Somewhere in the North, amid the drunken hunting ground
Upon a sticky nightclub floor, a wilting rose I found
I snatched her from the clutches of an evil smelling bore
I said, "I think it's over now", she said, "I'm not so sure"

We quickstepped into love like Fred and Ginger in a trance
At all the most exclusive balls, always too drunk to dance
The snakes and devils of our past were scrupulously ignored
I said, "I think it's over now", she said, "I'm not so sure"

The windswept kisses on the dunes, the only ships at sea
Around the Cape of Vain Hope, the gods smiled on her and me
"If you're reading this, you've come too far," the sign read on the door
I said, "I think it's over now", she said, "I'm not so sure"

To save us from ourselves, we turned our fury on each other
She'd crucify my confidence, I'd hog the duvet cover
We'd tighten up the thumbscrews and still scream out for more
I said, "I think it's over now", she said, "I'm not so sure"

We followed every line to where the end always begins
Presented our credentials and they gladly let us in
We washed in filthy sin, and we grew rotten to the core
I said, "I think it's over now", she said, "I'm not so sure"

Our merry dance was over, every shred of love was gone
Everything that once seemed right, turned out to be so wrong
I woke up on the sofa, found her suitcase in the hall
She said, "I think it's over now", I said nothing at all

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.
