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.
Super fun world
Smiling my heart out
Some where real far away
In a digital world
Messages disrupt my day
Been sitting on my butt since Wednesday
Tried to hit you on your two way
Your mailbox was full
We can meet tonight by satellite
What about half past midnight
I should just be off my flight
But for now I'll just dance and think about you
Electric life electric life electric life
Electric life electric life electric life
Lets just
Freak out freak out freak out
Me and you all alone
Freak out freak out freak out
But how we gonna freak off on the phone
I thought were supposed to have a date
I guess he couldn't help but be late
Its okay I had to go, I had this conference call phone ya know
I'm glad you paged me to say sorry
Cause I know your thinking of me
Don't worry baby I'm not angry
Cause for now I'll just dance and think about you
Electric life electric life electric life
Freak out freak out freak out
Me and you all alone
Freak out freak out freak out
But how we gonna freak out on the phone
Sugar we can do whatever's nice
Whatever you like but first darling
Can we get our jig on get our swig on
Head back to my crib, before these niggas get it grown up in here
Please mind me for asking, have you ever had sex with a person with no attachments
In the heat of the moment
One night of passion
Nothing but a whole night of griding and grabbing
Moanin and groaning till six in the morning
By the time you rolling over yawning
You'll be hearing my car door slamming
And Perelli's balling, chrome chain, daddy for short
Honey sub for bartender, E & J on the rocks
Make it a double
By the way if I might say
Your looking quite ravishing in your Prada apparel
And shoes to the bags
Your lucky I don't rob your ass dear
Cut to the chase, gimme ya pin number
And lets get outta here
Super fun world
Smiling my heart out
Some where real far away
In a digital world
Smiling my heart out
Some where real far away

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.
