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.
Heaven sent you to bring the answer
Heaven sent you to cure this cancer
But for a moment unbeatable chance
For a moment the world in my hands
Like an angel you came
Every time when I pray
Guardian in my dreams
Watching me when my sleep
Like and angel you came
Every time when I screamed
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying
Still disconnected
And now protected
Still I'm haunted
But unwanted
But for a moment
Unbreakable stars
For a moment you stayed in my arms
Like an angel you came
Every time when I pray
Guardian in my dreams
Watching me in my sleep
Like and angel you came
Every time when I scream
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying
Heaven sent you to cure this cancer
But for a moment unbeatable chance
For a moment the world in my hands
Like an angel you came
Every time when I pray
Guardian in my dreams
Watching me when my sleep
Like and angel you came
Every time when I screamed
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying
Still disconnected
And now protected
Still I'm haunted
But unwanted
But for a moment
Unbreakable stars
For a moment you stayed in my arms
Like an angel you came
Every time when I pray
Guardian in my dreams
Watching me in my sleep
Like and angel you came
Every time when I scream
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying

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.

Little Feat
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”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
best song on the cd by far. i hope they dont play it out on the radio its amazing and shouldnt get diluted like linkin parks 'in the end' and many, many other songs
great song and great way to make a sequel song to in the shadows
...sorry I am going to regret this, It is so emo.. I mean night after night i wake up crying cause i feel like dying... ok.. if you want to die..then kill yourself or something.. but saying that i still think this song is good.. as for what it means... NO idea
Pudd, it isn't like that, "Night after night I wake up crying" He misses something or someone. "Night after night I wake up shaking cause I feel like dieing" He would do anything for this thing/person, he needs them, or else he feels life isn't worth living. I must say, I'm into writing f about songs, this one is really easy to write one about.
I think this song is about drugs, it kind of describes the effect of heroin withdrawal (Night after night I wake up shaking) and the addiction (Fool enough to fall again). Looks like he is hoping for someone close to him, most likely a girlfriend, to help him get out of his addiction (Heaven sent you to cure this cancer).
I agree with Pricesse Sophie but also for osme reason it seem sto me reminisent (sp?) Like he lost the person he loved somhow,and he regrets it.He misses being wanted,he misses a reason to breathe.So many diff. meanings it could have.Like it's made to be able to rleate to any situation.This is my new favorite song..
Like an angel you came Everytime when I pray Saw you there in my dreams Watching me when my sleep Like and angel you came Everytime when I scream
I thought of this verse some days ago, about the word: came
--> for me it feels like the person who came to him is dead or that the person doesn't come to him anymore..
great song anyway. The (R) 4-ever!
omg! this song is great!
