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.
Can't do anything right
Try to replace me, still see the face of me
All the things that I have tried
I try to make you, see my love front of you
Makes me question my own life
My own life
The loss that you gave me
Isn't rational for me to see
Resistance is futile, I stand here alone
And all the ways that I have tried
Try and replace me, still see the face of me
I'm constantly by your side, by your side
Love will kill all
Everything rise and fall, you say what you mean
Resisting my love, I show you all you cannot see
You say everything fails in time
Love will kill all
All my caring dies in vain
Try and replace me, still see the face of me
Hold my hand when you're in pain
I try to make you, see my love front of you
Your changing, rips my life away
The loss that you gave me
Isn't rational for me to see
Resistance is futile, I stand here alone
I'm sorry you're guilty, you've made me borderline
Crazy you make me and you are satisfied
Try to replace me, still see the face of me
All the things that I have tried
I try to make you, see my love front of you
Makes me question my own life
My own life
The loss that you gave me
Isn't rational for me to see
Resistance is futile, I stand here alone
And all the ways that I have tried
Try and replace me, still see the face of me
I'm constantly by your side, by your side
Love will kill all
Everything rise and fall, you say what you mean
Resisting my love, I show you all you cannot see
You say everything fails in time
Love will kill all
All my caring dies in vain
Try and replace me, still see the face of me
Hold my hand when you're in pain
I try to make you, see my love front of you
Your changing, rips my life away
The loss that you gave me
Isn't rational for me to see
Resistance is futile, I stand here alone
I'm sorry you're guilty, you've made me borderline
Crazy you make me and you are satisfied

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.
Holiday

Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
i love this band!
