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.
To all the ladies in the place with style and grace
Allow me to lace lyrical douches in your bushes
Who rock grooves and make moves with all the mommies
The back of the club, sippin' Moet, is where you'll find me
The back of the club, mackin' hoes, my crew's behind me
Mad question askin', blunt passin', music blastin'
But I just can't quit because one of these honnies Biggie gots ta creep with,
Sleep with, keep the EP a secret
Why blow up my spot 'cause we both got hot
I got more Mack than Craig and in the bed
And believe me sweety I got enough to feed the needy
No need to be greedy, I got mad friends with Benz's
C-notes by the layers, true fuckin' players
Jump in the Rover and come over
I got chronic, I got chronic, I g-g-g-g-g-got the chronic
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
Throw your hands in the air, if you are a true playa
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
To all the honnies gettin' moneys, playin' niggas like dummies
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
If you got a gun up in your waist but don't shoot up the place (why?)
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight
That should be havin' my baby, baby
Straight up honey, I really am askin'
Most of these niggas think that they be mackin'
But they're just motherfuckin' acting
Who they attractin' with that line
"What's your name? What's your sign?"
Soon as he buy that wine I just creep up from behind
And ask you what your interests are and who you be with
Things to make you smile, what numbers to dial
You gon' be here for a while
I'm gon' go call my crew
You go call your crew
We can rendezvous at the bar around two
Plans to leave, throw the keys to Lil Cease
Pull the truck up front and roll up the next blunt
Conversate for a few, 'cause in a few
We gonna do what we came to do
Ain't that right boo? (truuue)
Forget the telly, we'll just go to my crib
And watch a movie in the jacuzzi, smokin' big L's while you do me
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
Throw your hands in the air, if you are a true playa
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
To all the honnies gettin' moneys, playin' niggas like dummies
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
If you got a gun up in your waist but don't shoot up the place (why?)
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight
That should be havin' my baby, baby
How ya livin' Biggie Smalls?
In mansions and Benz's
Givin' ends to my friends and it feels stupendous
Tremendous cream, fuck a dollar and a dream
I still tote gats strapped with infrared beams
Choppin O's, smokin' lye and Optimo's
Money, hos, and clothes is all a nigga knows
A foolish pleasure, whatever
I had to find the buried treasure
So-so-so-so-so-so grams I had to measure
Livin' better now, Gucci sweater now
Drop-top BM's, I'm the man girlfriend
Livin' better now, Gucci sweater now
Drop-top BM's, Drop-top BM's
(Honey, check it
Tell your friends, to get with my friends
And we can be friends
We can do this every god damn weekend
Keep bangin')
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
Throw your hands in the air, if you are a true playa
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
To all the honnies gettin' moneys, playin' niggas like dummies
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
If you got a gun up in your waist but don't shoot up the place (why?)
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight
That should be havin' my baby, baby

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
So yo don't really have to explain it.
