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.
We see no change in sight
Watching her decline
She gets on a midnight plane
She's done it a thousand times
When love starts out in the darkness
It doesn't do well in the light
Affairs of the heart
That start out in the dark
Usually stay with the night
I know you don't agree
(Everyday you tell me)
I know you don't agree
I know he loves me
Everyday he calls me
He says he adores me
What can I say
You can't love him
You can't have him
I do have him, most of the time
Anywhere we can
Anytime we can
Get away, get away
Maybe it's just something else
But you can't tell me
Maybe it's in the way that you
Look away from me
It's not like any words
Need to be said
Well you always know when something's wrong
My friend
I know you don't agree
(Everyday you tell me)
I know you don't agree
I know he loves me
Everyday he calls me
He says he adores me
What can I say
You can't love him
You can't have him
I do have him, most of the time
Anywhere we can
Anytime we can
Get away, get away
I know you don't agree
Well, I know you don't agree
You can't love him
You can't have him
I do have him, most of the time
Anywhere we can, baby
Anytime we can
Get away
We see no change in sight
Watching her decline
She gets on a midnight plane
She's done it a thousand times
When love starts out in the darkness
It doesn't do well in the light
Affairs of the heart
That start out in the dark
Usually stay with the night
Well nobody sees them
At least, not together
She rarely goes out
She spends every day
Waiting for the day
When everybody finds out
Don't you know, don't you know
You can't love him
You can't have him
I do have him, most of the time
Anywhere we can baby
Anytime we can
Get away
Watching her decline
She gets on a midnight plane
She's done it a thousand times
When love starts out in the darkness
It doesn't do well in the light
Affairs of the heart
That start out in the dark
Usually stay with the night
I know you don't agree
(Everyday you tell me)
I know you don't agree
I know he loves me
Everyday he calls me
He says he adores me
What can I say
You can't love him
You can't have him
I do have him, most of the time
Anywhere we can
Anytime we can
Get away, get away
Maybe it's just something else
But you can't tell me
Maybe it's in the way that you
Look away from me
It's not like any words

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.

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
I think the lyrics to this song would make for an obvious meaning. It sounds like an affair is taking place. Sounds like a married man has two women. One being his wife and another that swears that he loves her more than his wife yet he continues to be with his wife. "Affairs of the heart that start out in the dark usually stay with the night" sounds like a late night, secretive relationship.
You mean to say you didn't know what a homewrecker Stevie Nicks is?
It's a sort of argument between two women, a wife and a mistress, with the wife singing the neurotic chorus and the mistress singing the verses. Ultimately, the song shows the breakdown of both of them, the wife as she fears for losing her husband and the mistress as she fears for being discovered, as it sounds like she is the man's coworker, possibly even his boss.
Jujubee23 I have to disagree with you because I have just read that this song is about president Bill Clinton and his scandalous affair with Monica Lewinsky. And I have heard that this is also about Christine McVie that was about to leave FM. Neverless it's her another song about political issues. Here's the link to the netsite that proves this is mainly about Clinton and his assistant: twitter.com/hourlybn/status/1647963497886564361
This is about an affair between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham around 97 and 2001, Lindsey was married and a new father at the time.
