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.
11:30 fingers crossed
That I get home in time to see you off
The terminal girl says your bags are packed
But oh my god, I hope your plane is infact delayed in transit
And you have some time
To get some coffee maybe tell me why?
Remember when I made you smile
You won't find someone like me wherever you go
Waiting in the rain, pouring in the car park
Even if you stay would you see it through?
Out here all night, out here all night.
Belligerently you step forward and I dont know what to do!
Except kiss you on the lips and show you what you've missed
And hope that you come home!
I touch your face, you take your breath.
I take your hand this is as sad as love gets!
Your plane is bording they fixed that faulty wheel.
As you depart I saw your hand against that glass
And in that moment we found closure at last!
Waiting in the rain, pouring in the car park
Even if you stay would you see it through?
Out here all night, out here all night.
Belligerently you step forward and I dont know what to do!
Except kiss you on the lips and show you what you've missed
And hope that you come home!
I hope that faulty wheel breaks when you land in new york!
And you step off that plane and wonder why you're a thousand miles away
From a boy who knew exactly what to say!
That I get home in time to see you off
The terminal girl says your bags are packed
But oh my god, I hope your plane is infact delayed in transit
And you have some time
To get some coffee maybe tell me why?
Remember when I made you smile
You won't find someone like me wherever you go
Waiting in the rain, pouring in the car park
Even if you stay would you see it through?
Out here all night, out here all night.
Belligerently you step forward and I dont know what to do!
Except kiss you on the lips and show you what you've missed
And hope that you come home!
I touch your face, you take your breath.
I take your hand this is as sad as love gets!
Your plane is bording they fixed that faulty wheel.
As you depart I saw your hand against that glass
And in that moment we found closure at last!
Waiting in the rain, pouring in the car park
Even if you stay would you see it through?
Out here all night, out here all night.
Belligerently you step forward and I dont know what to do!
Except kiss you on the lips and show you what you've missed
And hope that you come home!
I hope that faulty wheel breaks when you land in new york!
And you step off that plane and wonder why you're a thousand miles away
From a boy who knew exactly what to say!

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.
