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.
I've been tryin' too hard
I've been spinnin' around
Got people chasin' me down
gotta find a way back
To my world somehow, somehow
Right now I wanna get lost
Inside of a song
Where there's no right or wrong
In my room all alone's
Where I belong
My life is mine once I'm behind the door
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
I'm in love with my guitar
I grab a handful of strings
I've been dying to play
It carries me far away
I don't need to explain
When I've got nothin' to say, oh yeah
If I break down that's all the sound I make
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
I'm in love with my guitar
Oh, yeah
Keeper of my secrets
Part of all my dreams
Somehow we're connected
From a whisper to a scream
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
'Cause I'm in love with my guitar
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
I'm in love with my guitar
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with my guitar
I'm in love with my guitar
I've been spinnin' around
Got people chasin' me down
gotta find a way back
To my world somehow, somehow
Right now I wanna get lost
Inside of a song
Where there's no right or wrong
In my room all alone's
Where I belong
My life is mine once I'm behind the door
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
I'm in love with my guitar
I grab a handful of strings
I've been dying to play
It carries me far away
I don't need to explain
When I've got nothin' to say, oh yeah
If I break down that's all the sound I make
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
I'm in love with my guitar
Oh, yeah
Keeper of my secrets
Part of all my dreams
Somehow we're connected
From a whisper to a scream
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
'Cause I'm in love with my guitar
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
I'm in love with my guitar
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with my guitar
I'm in love with my guitar

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.

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,

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.
