So betterman I am since I, I
I come into contact with you
And you taught so many things about myself
And you know this is true
But now we are apart and its all my fault
'Cause you know I need to be alone
Don't know myself
So how can I share me with you girl or anyone

Don't want to be a thorn in your side
Good woman
Always be the one
To make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy
Good woman
'Cause you all put that on

Typical man
I am 'cause you think
I want my cake and eat it too
'Cause say I can't be in a relationship
But I still feel for you
'Cause you are the best woman
This old man has ever met
You taught me about my soul
You shared with me your magic

Don't want to be a thorn in your side
Good woman
Always be the one
To make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy
Good woman
'Cause you deserve everything
And I got nothing so leave me
And I'll go away better off I stay
Far from you,
'Cause you are beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful woman
'Cause you are beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful woman

    A Truly Wicked Song. I adore the strings going through it all. It's a crazy melody with kind of broken sentences, but it flows really well. It's even better live! Love it Love it! Not often is a song so filled with love so funky!

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

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.
