In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The cold of winter now resides where fires once burned bright
Unseen forces waging war for possession of your sight
Allowing walls to crumble leaving armor to decay
The enemy you once engaged steals vital time away
O children how could you ignore your slowly rotting soul
A carnal mind will bring you death sin will take it's toll
From certain death you came to life accepting saving grace
The seed was sown on stony ground you now spit in Savior's face
Hand already to the plow gaze back at what you've lost
Withdraw yourself from servanthood reconsidering the cost
Pride infests your spirit love of money rooting deep
Ignore convictions dying plea now say goodbye morality
Looking for the answers that you once held in your hand
Watch your treasures crumble like a kingdom in the sand
Father time extracts his dues they're getting hard to pay
And even so you turn your back and walk farther away
Why this apostasy for you know your days are few
You know whatsoever you sow will be reaped back to you
Turn back unto the Lord for in Him is life alone
Abandoning the truth you've known is death and it makes no sense at all
Unseen forces waging war for possession of your sight
Allowing walls to crumble leaving armor to decay
The enemy you once engaged steals vital time away
O children how could you ignore your slowly rotting soul
A carnal mind will bring you death sin will take it's toll
From certain death you came to life accepting saving grace
The seed was sown on stony ground you now spit in Savior's face
Hand already to the plow gaze back at what you've lost
Withdraw yourself from servanthood reconsidering the cost
Pride infests your spirit love of money rooting deep
Ignore convictions dying plea now say goodbye morality
Looking for the answers that you once held in your hand
Watch your treasures crumble like a kingdom in the sand
Father time extracts his dues they're getting hard to pay
And even so you turn your back and walk farther away
Why this apostasy for you know your days are few
You know whatsoever you sow will be reaped back to you
Turn back unto the Lord for in Him is life alone
Abandoning the truth you've known is death and it makes no sense at all

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.

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.
