We queuing up the tills, wishing for our lives to change
Just a piece of something new, a taste would keep us sane
Hypocrisy in every day, drills a hole deep in our brains
Searching for a little hope, a rainbow when it rains
Sitting on an empty bench, got these nails dug in my skin
Like a leopard with his kill, we're going under, slipping in

Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, ten thousand leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in day out

Stepping on a treadmill wheel, you must know how that can feel
Blows a fuse inside our minds, watch the data as it wipes
Taste the bullshit on a plate, we just piss our lives away
Get the hell out while you can, we going under, sinking in
We're going under, slipping in

Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, ten thousand leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in day out
We're going down, yes we're going down, we're going down¡­.

Taste a new amphetamine, alcohol has sucked us in
Introverted in our ways, trapped inside this plastic skin
Now it's rears it's ugly self, feeds us full of selfish doubt
We've got to keep ourselves afloat, going under, get me out
We're going under, slipping in

Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in day out we're going under, slipping in
Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, ten thousand leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in day out.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
