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.
Hey Hey Creo, Creo Cuando Lo Veo
Them cowards wasn't worth a hill of beans
Flesh dies from the shock
Spirit lives
Heard shots in the Philippines
Aint nothing funny how this went down
My homie Rob got sprayed by some kids the age of Chris Brown
They pulled up on him and asked him if he gang banged
Nodded no, they still shot him in the body though
And you could tell he was loved from the scene of the funeral
About a hundred cars, 20 limousines
Caught the ones who did it
Took ‘em to court, they nonchalant
Hope the judge throw the book at them dorks
Treating the trial like its funny business
Somebody should've told them about this path
Aint no money in it
So now they're 25 to life
What life it is
But it didn't get ‘em nothing cause my brother Rob lives
25 to life
What a life it is
but it didn't get ‘em nothing
Cause my brother Rob lives
Rock on!
So you all know how the story goes
People that give u junk and promise you gold
Cats in your ear with the same old story
I'll give you the world just leave me the glory
What you know about
No time to think
Too many words
No time to blink
Don't underestimate the power of the hustle
Hoodwink bamboozle or muscle
I believe it when I see it and when I see it let me hold it
For old times sake
Politicians got this shit down pack
Tricks out of they sleeve tricks out of they hat
Some can even act
The govenator in true lies and blue eyes as cactus jack
And if you believe that
Solo mentiras, eses tontito se lo cree en todo
Pero mira que lo creo, creo
Cuando yo lo veo, veo
Y cuando yo lo veo, veo
Eso cuando yo lo creo, creo
Ah, na-na, na-na, na-na... Hey!
Them cowards wasn't worth a hill of beans
Flesh dies from the shock
Spirit lives
Heard shots in the Philippines
Aint nothing funny how this went down

Nodded no, they still shot him in the body though
And you could tell he was loved from the scene of the funeral

Caught the ones who did it
Took ‘em to court, they nonchalant
Hope the judge throw the book at them dorks

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.
