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.
Dance with me, pretty boy, tonight
Dance with me, and we'll be all right
There's a whole floor before us, just for you and me
So follow my lead, and we'll 1-2-3
Pull shapes
I like to disco
I like to rock 'n' roll
Well I like to hip-hop
We can do it all, just don't let the music stop
Pull shapes
I lead with my left hand
I stomp with my right foot
Well I just want to freak out
I just want to move, I don't care what the song's about
Dance with me, pretty boy, tonight
Dance with me, and we'll be all right
There's a whole floor before us, just for you and me
So follow my lead, and we'll 1-2-3
Pull shapes
Is there a drumbeat?
Pull shapes
And is the bass beat?
Pull shapes
Then the rhythm is complete
Well get up on the floor
It's time for you to move your feet
Dance with me, pretty boy, tonight
Dance with me, and we'll be all right
There's a whole floor before us, just for you and me
So follow my lead, and we'll 1-2-3
What do you do when the music stops?

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.
