When you walk out
To the water
And you find that no one's there
Grab some driftwood
Drift away
As far as you can dream
There's a lighthouse
In the distance
Somebody calls your name
Lay your head down
Dream away

And somebody calls your name
(somebody calls your name)
And you need a place to hideaway
Somewhere so unknown
And you make for your escape
(you make for your escape)
As you drift and dream away...

Now you've been here once before
Some things will never change
It's a secret
Don't tell anyone
No one will call your name
The sunlight starts to fall
Into the western sky
Lay your head down
Dream away

And somebody calls your name
(somebody calls your name)
And you need a place to hideaway
Somewhere so unknown
And you make for you escape
(you make for your escape)
As you drift and dream away

You drift and dream a...
You drift and dream away

And somebody calls your name
(somebody calls your name)
And you need a place to hideaway
Somewhere so unknown
And you make for your escape
(you make for your escape)
As you drift and dream away

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
