People 'round here
don't like to talk about it
Presumed dead
Unsolved Child Murder

Since they dragged the lake
you know they seemed au-fait
cordoned off some wood
and gave the photo to a psychic
Presumed Dead
Unsolved Child Murder

If I die before my parents die
If I die before my parents die

more hate mail through the door
didn't know that sundays
could be useful after all
people can be cruel and spineless

hung around your house
waiting for your mother
rachel says she's married to a doctor
presumed dead
unsolved child murder

If I die before my parents die
If I die before my parents die

better move on - with the good stuff
better move on - right away
sod this town and people's pity
let's get on with the nitty gritty
presumed dead - unsolved child murder

I believe in ESP
when you're dealing with a master thief
headlines scream
"he's been missing 2 weeks"

Rachel said when we find him
we can cure him
we can make him better
raise him from the dead
unsolved child murder
raise him from the dead
unsolved child murder

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
