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.
So here we are again
Tell me where should we begin?
Work back, to find the source
Question if my thoughts are the same
Over and over again
This repetition is getting old
No matter what I try
It's not enough to satisfy
Failure, in your eyes
There must be a better way
Paradoxical decay
Transcend, beyond this boundary
Boil the blood inside my veins
Fuel the fever in my brain
Onve more will break my mind
Now you have me on my knees
Do with me as you please
Cold perfection, stop my slide
Broken, Apart
Broken down in my mind and body
Fractured, Dismayed
Fractured thoughts are going nowhere
New Hope, New Faith
New wings to stop this spiral
To Much, To Ask
My gravity will pull you under
Burn me, in your forge
And make me hard
Annealed against my misfortune
Scorched earth, in my mind
Unfertile ground
For seeds of new life grow in
Lost faith, in your lie
An opiate high
Destructive constructivism
Torn down, from inside
Would you die
To make me perfect again?
Tell me where should we begin?
Work back, to find the source
Question if my thoughts are the same
Over and over again
This repetition is getting old
No matter what I try
It's not enough to satisfy
Failure, in your eyes
There must be a better way
Paradoxical decay
Transcend, beyond this boundary
Boil the blood inside my veins
Fuel the fever in my brain
Onve more will break my mind
Now you have me on my knees
Do with me as you please
Cold perfection, stop my slide
Broken, Apart
Broken down in my mind and body
Fractured, Dismayed
Fractured thoughts are going nowhere
New Hope, New Faith
New wings to stop this spiral
To Much, To Ask
My gravity will pull you under
Burn me, in your forge
And make me hard
Annealed against my misfortune
Scorched earth, in my mind
Unfertile ground
For seeds of new life grow in
Lost faith, in your lie
An opiate high
Destructive constructivism
Torn down, from inside
Would you die
To make me perfect again?

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
