This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If you see a flaming sword in your dreams at night
And feel inspired to assign me up to the front line
Well give the order, you'll storm the border without me
If they tell you you're a genius but you need some proof
Ask anybody on the payroll to go out with you
If they avoid ya, then they'll award ya definitely
Nobody that's around just seems to get it right
How hard is it to follow just a few guidelines
And smile while you do it
If you want a page written 'bout you in the book
But you need a food tester 'cause you curse the cook
I'll take some wine but you can dine without me
Without me
Who would let you play God
And make-believe that all the blasphemy
Is coming only from me?
If you're bound for the throne but the king won't die
I can occupy the queen but that's for her and I
I can do her and you'll be ruler without me
Yeah you can do it
But you can do it without me
And feel inspired to assign me up to the front line
Well give the order, you'll storm the border without me
If they tell you you're a genius but you need some proof
Ask anybody on the payroll to go out with you
If they avoid ya, then they'll award ya definitely
Nobody that's around just seems to get it right
How hard is it to follow just a few guidelines
And smile while you do it
If you want a page written 'bout you in the book
But you need a food tester 'cause you curse the cook
I'll take some wine but you can dine without me
Without me
Who would let you play God
And make-believe that all the blasphemy
Is coming only from me?
If you're bound for the throne but the king won't die
I can occupy the queen but that's for her and I
I can do her and you'll be ruler without me
Yeah you can do it
But you can do it without me

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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”

“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. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is quite possibly a song directed at Robin Pecknold, singer of his old band, Fleet Foxes.
I've wondered about that. He wrote it quite a while ago and performed it at Origami Vinyl, definitely while he was still in Fleet Foxes, so I still have some doubts that he would have stuck around so long after feeling this way, but I don't think the song is about an old flame, and the whole line about "if they tell you you're a genius but you need some proof" definitely sounds like it could be directed at Robin, since he's such a perfectionist and has so much self-doubt. They've said in interviews that Robin has a hard time finishing a song, because he never thinks it's good enough even though everyone else says it sounds great... that goes for the "nobody that's around you seems to get it right" line.<br /> <br /> So it's possible. I don't think anyone would ever acknowledge it publicly, though, out of courtesy...
I think you can make it about that if you want to, but to me he's just talking about a generic individual that is barking orders and doing none of the work. Yea, it makes sense for him to be talking about an old band but I like to think it's a little more inspired than that... Maybe not though.
It hadn't occurred to me that he might have written it with a specific person (Pecknold) in mind, but the pieces do seem to fit just right with that theory. My interpretation has always been that it's just a general criticism of political/societal leaders and movements that, in pursuit of their own interests, tend to involve unwilling participants. It almost has a sort of libertarian, live-and-let-live slant to it, just like "knock yourself out with whatever vain ambitions you may have, but you'd better not expect me to let your bullshit distract me from doing my thing."
