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.
Oh-oh-ohh
What she doin' tonight?
I wish I could be a fly on your wall.
Are you really alone? Who's stealing dreams?
Why can't I breathe you into my life?
(So tell me) What would it take to make you see that I'm alive?
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am
Saw your face in the crowd, I call out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps, each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
(Oh baby) Wish you could touch me with the colors of your light
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am
(I'd make you mine tonight) Invisible
I reach out but you don't even feel me
Even when I scream out
Baby, you don't hear me (you don't hear me)
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passin' through
(Invisible, Invisible, Invisible, Invisible)
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
What she doin' tonight?
I wish I could be a fly on your wall.
Are you really alone? Who's stealing dreams?
Why can't I breathe you into my life?
(So tell me) What would it take to make you see that I'm alive?
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am
Saw your face in the crowd, I call out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps, each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
(Oh baby) Wish you could touch me with the colors of your light
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am
(I'd make you mine tonight) Invisible
I reach out but you don't even feel me
Even when I scream out
Baby, you don't hear me (you don't hear me)
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passin' through
(Invisible, Invisible, Invisible, Invisible)
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
it means that love always means true happiness, and that he loves soemone and he just cant get through to her. He also loves Countless Overtimes Crybaby Kriptonit, one of his favorite bands.
