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.
Sweat drenched skin covered in white lace
devilish accomplice in lingerie
tonight, tonight revenge has a face
and she's gonna have her way
open windows, unlocked doors
secrets left on bedroom floors
we'll stay in here under these sheets
playing this game of twisted hide and seek
[Pre-Chorus:]
Don't try to run she'll find you
Don't make this hurt more than it has to
Just a kiss her taste could cure me
I need a fix for my sweet tooth craving
[Chorus:]
I'm doing this purely for revenge
loathe every moan and creak in the bed
I've gotta say I'm quite impressed
how fast she fell out of that dress
every dirty word she whispered
and every sick thing she screamed
I hope they echo off your walls
I hope they haunt your every dream
Deep breaths with the cruelest intentions
a motive we're not gonna mention
revenge, revenge is a girl I know
and she can't just let this go
through the keyholes off the walls
echoes chasing down the halls
evidence spread all around
patiently waiting, waiting to be found
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
your every dream
your every dream
I won't just stab your back
I've got blueprints for attack
and it won't be quick, I'll tell you this
I think you know me better than that
With surgical precision
I'll make a small incision
directly to the side of your spine
I'm taking back what's mine
[x2]
[Chorus x2]
your every dream
your every dream
devilish accomplice in lingerie
tonight, tonight revenge has a face
and she's gonna have her way
open windows, unlocked doors
secrets left on bedroom floors
we'll stay in here under these sheets
playing this game of twisted hide and seek
[Pre-Chorus:]
Don't try to run she'll find you
Don't make this hurt more than it has to
Just a kiss her taste could cure me
I need a fix for my sweet tooth craving
[Chorus:]
I'm doing this purely for revenge
loathe every moan and creak in the bed
I've gotta say I'm quite impressed
how fast she fell out of that dress
every dirty word she whispered
and every sick thing she screamed
I hope they echo off your walls
I hope they haunt your every dream
Deep breaths with the cruelest intentions
a motive we're not gonna mention
revenge, revenge is a girl I know
and she can't just let this go
through the keyholes off the walls
echoes chasing down the halls
evidence spread all around
patiently waiting, waiting to be found
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
your every dream
your every dream
I won't just stab your back
I've got blueprints for attack
and it won't be quick, I'll tell you this
I think you know me better than that
With surgical precision
I'll make a small incision
directly to the side of your spine
I'm taking back what's mine
[x2]
[Chorus x2]
your every dream
your every dream

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
It's about him getting revenge on an ex by sleeping with someone else.
He feels guilty doing it, but at the same time he wants to get caught... that's the whole plan, because he knows it will hurt her like he was hurt.
