This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Who wants to know?
All that is gold, is rusted
No one will know
Seasons cease, to change, and
How far we've gone
How far we're going
So here and the now
And the love for the sound
Are the moments that keep us moving
Waves crash along
Battered lonely lighthouse
Tomorrow she's gone
And if not, some, they somehow
Are, these, hands, always
Well this side of, mortality is
Scaring, me, to death
To death
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all
Soldier on
Soldier on
Keep your heart, close to the ground
Soldier on
Soldier on
Keep your heart, close, to the ground
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all
Yeah
Will you take me tonight
Yeah
Will you take me tonight
Yeah
Will you take me tonight
Yeah
Will you take me tonight
Tonight
Soldier on
Soldier on
Keep your heart, close to the ground
All that is gold, is rusted
No one will know
Seasons cease, to change, and
How far we've gone
How far we're going
So here and the now
And the love for the sound
Are the moments that keep us moving
Waves crash along
Battered lonely lighthouse
Tomorrow she's gone
And if not, some, they somehow
Are, these, hands, always
Well this side of, mortality is
Scaring, me, to death
To death
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all
Soldier on
Soldier on
Keep your heart, close to the ground
Soldier on
Soldier on
Keep your heart, close, to the ground
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all
Yeah
Will you take me tonight
Yeah
Will you take me tonight
Yeah
Will you take me tonight
Yeah
Will you take me tonight
Tonight
Soldier on
Soldier on
Keep your heart, close to the ground

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
the too long didn't read version
Things in life change regardless of what you do. It is written "all that is gold is rusted", and even though literally Gold cannot rust, when it comes to the fragility of human existence, there is no such thing as a "Gold" moment, because (as stated earlier) everything will change.
Sometimes a song comes along with tones and mysterious lyrics that lends dignity to an otherwise train wreck of a situation with a loved one.
Well, I don't think it's about LOVE. I think this is all about LIFE.
I think the song's meaning is all about the inevitability of death and about us, facing it.
Death, is inevitable: "tomorrow she's gone", gone stands for dead. "all that is gold is rusting", life perishing. "will you take me tonigh?", he's talking directly to Death (personification), asking if she's gonna come tonight, to take (kill) him.
What can we do? "soldier on", no explanation required here. "keep your heart close to the ground", I guess anyone has to find his own answer here.
Wonderful song ;)
When something bad happens to you you've got to get on with it and move on ('don't think about it all and keep your head low'). It leaves you crippled and pathetic ('Will you take me tonight?') But you just have to keep going ('Soldier On')
I always get this picture of WW2, someone's comrade has died leaving him alone, he has to keep going or he'll die too. He's ducking and crawling through trenches, dodging gunfire, just thinking about the picture of the girl in his pocket. She's waiting for him at home, where he can forget this nightmare.
My favourite line is 'Well this side of mortality is scaring me to death'. I'm not 100% decided on what it means but I'm thinking it's a suggestion that there is this flipside to life, somewhere dark and horrible.
they sound so different his voice is majestic, and they way the end their songs just gives me the chills.
I take it as he was seriously in love with a girl, but she broke his heart. All that is gold is rusted. Nothing good remains of his love of her. They've come so far, but are going no where. HE is the battered lonely lighthouse. Tomorrow she's gone. and the mortality he's speaking of is how he feels dead without her, and it scares him so much. He doesn't want to think about it, because he wants to be able to move on and be free again...free of the pain. He has to keep going, and "soldier on". He asks her to take him, because he can't resist, but he must. He must stop thinking about her, and soldier on.
well this side of mortality is scaring me to death
he's afraid of death. someone close to him dying. that's how i understood it. he wants to be some what immortal. he & the one he loves.
i cant understand what Keep your heart close to the ground.. means though.. if anyone could explain that to me :) i'd appreciate much
Keep your heart close to the ground
I'm assuming it means to stay alive. Like to hang on.
Unbelievable song...3:50 is just amaizng.
Agree with pretty much everything said so far. I think "keep your heart close to the ground" is about hiding his feelings and trying not to get hurt.
I agree<br />
heard this for the first time today. chilllllllls. i have a feeling they'll become a new favorite band
