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.
You can tell it to my face, but I will never know what you mean
Silence triggers the adrenaline, some things are never meant to be seen
Steel plate nailed into the corner,
Be sure that people know what it means
The room is empty yet so full of lives,
Not everything is what it seems
Hesitating or speeding,
It's all just a bleeding way to be
Heading down the same old road,
That'll lead you to the place I see
I've been there
Do you see
Do you see me
Do you see what I mean
Be sure that...
The sun never shines
Behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold
Behind door 2.12
Eyes closed, everything's at ease,
I get to go where no one goes when alive
If you'd seen the things I've seen,
You'd know that there's no way to survive
The sun never shines
Behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold
Behind door 2.12
This is peace of mind
Behind door 2.12
I feel so cold
Behind door 2.12
Do you see
Do you see me
Do you see what I mean
The sun never shines
Behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold
Behind door 2.12
This is peace of mind
Behind door 2.12
I feel so cold
Behind door 2.12
Silence triggers the adrenaline, some things are never meant to be seen
Steel plate nailed into the corner,
Be sure that people know what it means
The room is empty yet so full of lives,
Not everything is what it seems
Hesitating or speeding,
It's all just a bleeding way to be
Heading down the same old road,
That'll lead you to the place I see
I've been there
Do you see
Do you see me
Do you see what I mean
Be sure that...
The sun never shines
Behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold
Behind door 2.12
Eyes closed, everything's at ease,
I get to go where no one goes when alive
If you'd seen the things I've seen,
You'd know that there's no way to survive
The sun never shines
Behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold
Behind door 2.12
This is peace of mind
Behind door 2.12
I feel so cold
Behind door 2.12
Do you see
Do you see me
Do you see what I mean
The sun never shines
Behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold
Behind door 2.12
This is peace of mind
Behind door 2.12
I feel so cold
Behind door 2.12

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.

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”
Holiday

@[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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
