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.
Well I'm not the type
To hand my heart over
Thought I was stronger
So I'm wonderin' why
I can't shake this feeling
Look what you're doing to me
No I'm not the type, not the type
To move in too quickly
Whenever you're near me
I just can't deny
The way that I'm feeling
I don't know what happens to me
I get nervous, I get breathless
When you're here next to me and
Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you
On you
Well, it's Friday night
I just tried to call you
I wonder where you are
Is everything alright
I wanna be with you
I wish I could reach you
I wish I could see you right now
I'm so anxious I don't wanna loose you
Or loose what we have cause
Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you
Some people wait
Thinking someday they'll find
Somethin' better
But I'm not afraid of making mistakes
So I'll, I'll take my chance
Some people wait for a life time
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance while it's here
We can make it
So don't keep me waiting
Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you
For you
To hand my heart over
Thought I was stronger
So I'm wonderin' why
I can't shake this feeling
Look what you're doing to me
No I'm not the type, not the type
To move in too quickly
Whenever you're near me
I just can't deny
The way that I'm feeling
I don't know what happens to me
I get nervous, I get breathless
When you're here next to me and
Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you
On you
Well, it's Friday night
I just tried to call you
I wonder where you are
Is everything alright
I wanna be with you
I wish I could reach you
I wish I could see you right now
I'm so anxious I don't wanna loose you
Or loose what we have cause
Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you
Some people wait
Thinking someday they'll find
Somethin' better
But I'm not afraid of making mistakes
So I'll, I'll take my chance
Some people wait for a life time
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance while it's here
We can make it
So don't keep me waiting
Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you
For you

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.
