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.
That look was priceless
Don't let me get carried away
I've seen it before
And it still suites you the say
You catch on quick (you catch on quick)
As the cynics stop before
They give the same review (you catch on quick)
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands
The abortion that you had left you
Clinically dead and made it All that much easier to lie
But its nothing that I'm proud of (no its nothing that I'm proud of)
Making an example out of you
Well this is phase one
This is the preview
Well this is phase one
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
Don't act like you're the first one
I treat it like disease
Sure it's rough around the edges
It's the only thing you see
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me coming
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance
You had your chance
You had your chance
Don't let me get carried away
I've seen it before
And it still suites you the say
You catch on quick (you catch on quick)
As the cynics stop before
They give the same review (you catch on quick)
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands
The abortion that you had left you
Clinically dead and made it All that much easier to lie
But its nothing that I'm proud of (no its nothing that I'm proud of)
Making an example out of you
Well this is phase one
This is the preview
Well this is phase one
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
Don't act like you're the first one

Don't act like you can't see me coming
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance
You had your chance
You had your chance

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
it's definitely "open arms reject assuming hands." that is unless the lyrics in the cd booklet are wrong.
One word can describe this song: DUDE. This song absolutely rocks SO HARD. At the beggining you hear the drummer beating on all the drums and the guitar in the background and then it just hits you like: WHOOOOOOOSSHHHH! to describe the feeling it would be like youre listening to this in your car with your system up full blast and youre driving down the highway at like 150 miles an hour, weaving in and out of traffic evading the cops, and getting out of your car and running for ten miles through stores and hopping fences, and finally getting beat down. I think this songs about the maybe nots that we have in life, the "maybe shes not who i thought she was" or "maybe hes a lying SOB" those type of moments where you want to give people a chance and they only throw it back in your face, and it es you off to no end, and you just wanna break stuff and fly into a rage. Its about the chance you gave them so honestly. Its about telling them "you had your chance and now im gone so buh bye" sometimes you gotta get ed and let people know how you feel or theyre gonna walk all over you.
YAY! First one to comment on this fucking amazing new song from and umbelieveable band from their new album that seems...AHHHH. I can't wait! So yeah I love this song. The second verse is wow.
fucking hot new song from tbs...love the chorus where it gets to the "you had your chance" part...
:::H O T:::
I think he says :
The abortion that you had left you clinically sad, and made it all that much easier to lie But that's nothing that I'm proud of (No, it's nothing that I'm proud of making an example out of you (This isn't faithful) This isn't you
Can't wait for the new album x
The abortion that you had left you clinically dead and made it all that much easier to lie.
For most songs, the lyrics hold the most power. The lyrics for this one are good, yeah, but the music is just BAM. TBS has a knack for writing about people who've wronged, and using the music to match. Absolutely delightful :) oh, and I don't think this is the complete song -- it's the version that I have, but it isn't their style to make a song as short as this... it sounds as if, at the end, it's just going into the interlude. That means that the last chorus should be uber-powerful. That excites me to no end... YES!

AHHHH i love this song!1
