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.
Ride, when we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
It's real late
'Bout a quarter to one
I'm thinking of everything that we've become
And I hate it
I thought we could make it
But I'm ready to dead this
Just wanna forget about it
I saw her pictures
And the letters she sent
You had me thinking
You were out we your friends
I'm so foolish
Play me like I'm stupid
'Cause I thought it was just you and i, oh
Now I look back on the time that we spent and I
See it in my mind playing over and over again
'Cause, boy, right now, you got me breaking down
And I just can't figure out why
But this is what you say (we ride)
Oh
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
We used to say
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
We ride
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
(But, I remember what you used to say)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
Visions in my mind of the day that we met
You showed me things that I'll never forget
Took me swimming in the ocean
You had my head up in the clouds
Made me feel like I'm floating (yeah)
You think I'm playing when you know it's the truth
Nobody else can do it quite like I do
All my kisses (kisses)
And my loving (and my loving)
But ain't nobody better than us, yeah-yeah
Now I look back on the time that we spent and I
See it in my mind playing over and over again
'Cause, boy, right now, you got me breaking down
And I just can't figure out why
You said (we ride)
Mm
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
We used to say
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
We ride
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
(But, I remember what you used to say)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
I guess it's over, indefinitely
But you and I know it's not that easy to let go (to let go)
Of everything (of everything) that we planned
And start all over again, hey
Just blame yourself 'cause you blew it
I won't forget how you do it
My sweet baby, this is where the game ends now
Somehow, wanna believe you and me, we can figure it out (oh-oh)
We ride (yeah)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
Don't I make you say, boy
I wish that you could hold me when I'm lonely
When I need someone to talk to, you would phone me
Just like everything you told me
(When we ride we ride it's 'til the day that we die)
Boy, you forgot about the promises you made me
And now we'll let the memories just fade away
But I remember what you used to say
(When we ride, we ride it's 'til the day that we die)
We ride
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
We used to say
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
We ride
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
(But, I remember what you used to say)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
We ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

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 is a good song.....Like all the others its about cheating and being through with the person....Still a good song but almost all these songs are about that jeez...
