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.
Like towers falling down
Like a bomb blast in your town
Like a hostage tied in chains
I could not forget your name
Destroy, she said
My love again
The end will come quickly
Don't try again
To make amends
You'll just end up sinking
If you explode in aftermath
Don't think you've been dreaming
Destroy, she said
My love again
When it's not worth keeping
Like a helicopter crash
Like a ghetto that's been smashed
Like bodies on a battlefield
I can't live with how you feel
Destroy, she said
My love again
The end will come quickly
Don't try again
To make amends
You'll just end up sinking
If you explode in aftermath
Don't think you've been dreaming
Destroy, she said
My love again
When it's not worth keeping
Not along and not apart
You finished what you could not start
In the corners of the day
You catch my eye and then looked away
What a generous remark you made
When you blew it all away
Destroy, she said
My love again
The end will come quickly
Don't try again
To make amends
You'll just end up sinking
If you explode in aftermath
Don't think you've been dreaming
Destroy, she said
My love again
When it's not worth keeping
Destroy, she said
My love again
The end will come quickly
Don't try again
To make amends
You'll just end up sinking
If you explode in aftermath
Don't think you've been dreaming
Destroy, she said
My love again
When it's not worth keeping
Like a bomb blast in your town
Like a hostage tied in chains
I could not forget your name
Destroy, she said
My love again
The end will come quickly
Don't try again
To make amends
You'll just end up sinking
If you explode in aftermath
Don't think you've been dreaming
Destroy, she said
My love again
When it's not worth keeping
Like a helicopter crash
Like a ghetto that's been smashed
Like bodies on a battlefield
I can't live with how you feel
Destroy, she said
My love again
The end will come quickly
Don't try again
To make amends
You'll just end up sinking
If you explode in aftermath
Don't think you've been dreaming
Destroy, she said
My love again
When it's not worth keeping
Not along and not apart
You finished what you could not start
In the corners of the day
You catch my eye and then looked away
What a generous remark you made
When you blew it all away
Destroy, she said
My love again
The end will come quickly
Don't try again
To make amends
You'll just end up sinking
If you explode in aftermath
Don't think you've been dreaming
Destroy, she said
My love again
When it's not worth keeping
Destroy, she said
My love again
The end will come quickly
Don't try again
To make amends
You'll just end up sinking
If you explode in aftermath
Don't think you've been dreaming
Destroy, she said
My love again
When it's not worth keeping

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Considering this song is on a saikano amv this song is practically chise's theme in which she is telling shuji that she is a monster and he shouldn't waste his time on her. The only reason she thinks this is because she is the ultimate weapon and knows it will only end in disaster if anyone is involved with her. Here is the link to the amv: youtube.com/watch
