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.
I'm leaving you
I'm not sure if that's what I should do
It hurts so bad
I'm wanting you but can't go back
Trying to find, find
That old, elusive peace of mind
Stuck here somehow
I'm shrouded beneath my fear and doubt
And I don't need it
'Cause I'm walkin' down this road alone
And figured all I'm thinking 'bout is you
Is you my love
My head is in a cloud of rain and the world it seems so far away
And I'm just waiting for
The droplets, droplets
You left a mark
And I wear it proudly on my chest
Above my heart
To remind me that I feel the best
When I'm with you
And everything is effortless
You know it's true
My eyes are painted with regret
And I don't need it
'Cause I'm walkin' down this road alone
And figured all I'm thinking 'bout is you
Is you my love
My head is in a cloud of rain and the world it seems so far away
And I'm just waiting to fall
And sink into your skin
You are like the raindrops, the raindrops
Falling down on me
So you left a mark (you left a mark)
She left a mark (he left)
She left (he left)
And I don't (I don't)
Need it
I'm not sure if that's what I should do
It hurts so bad
I'm wanting you but can't go back
Trying to find, find
That old, elusive peace of mind
Stuck here somehow
I'm shrouded beneath my fear and doubt
And I don't need it
'Cause I'm walkin' down this road alone
And figured all I'm thinking 'bout is you
Is you my love
My head is in a cloud of rain and the world it seems so far away
And I'm just waiting for
The droplets, droplets
You left a mark
And I wear it proudly on my chest
Above my heart
To remind me that I feel the best
When I'm with you
And everything is effortless
You know it's true
My eyes are painted with regret
And I don't need it
'Cause I'm walkin' down this road alone
And figured all I'm thinking 'bout is you
Is you my love
My head is in a cloud of rain and the world it seems so far away
And I'm just waiting to fall
And sink into your skin
You are like the raindrops, the raindrops
Falling down on me
So you left a mark (you left a mark)
She left a mark (he left)
She left (he left)
And I don't (I don't)
Need it

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.

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
i think that the song is about leaving someone, even though you don't really want to, but knowing things can't go back to the way they are. it's like she's stuck in a limbo, things aren't moving forward with him because she can't go back, as it hurts too much. it's the searching for "that all elusive piece of mind" that's going to tell her what she should do.
i know i can personally relate to this song, and that really is one of the best things as it's so perfectly put things in words. < 3
