There's madness in your eyes
And you don't even know
I think you've lost the plot
I think it's time to go
And get some help

What do you mean?
I'm feeling great
Just look at the smile on my face
No time to sleep
No time to concentrate
I'm just living like a headcase

Can you please just sit down?
Why can't you take a pause?
Let's count down from ten
There's no one at the door
It's just the wind

Are you sure?
I'm not convinced
Please check again
I think they're here
I need to sleep
I need to concentrate
Help me!
I'm living like a headcase

It's over now, little boy
You can relax
And be yourself
But don't forget how to ask for help
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase

And if you feel it's coming back
Don't be afraid
Just think about everything that you've been through
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase

It's nothing personal
And you've done nothing wrong
It feels unnatural
And it can make you strong
Look at me
I used to be a headcase

Believe me
If I can make it back from the edges of insanity
The center of attack
So can you
And you can be a headcase too
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase

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.
