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.
The air is full of perfume tang
This time I don't do the strayer
All wrapped up in Gucci Gucci
Trying to look fresh and juicy
They say my ways are like another one man show
Play my game you know it's like got to go
Everybody says nobody wants to know
The price is high the moral's sinking low
Burn it up now
Burn it up now
Chilling in my gt
Burn it up now
Burn it down now
Drop your pants
If you don't want romance
I want to see you prance
Drop your pants
If you don't want to dance
As we just met by chance
Drop your pants
If you don't want romance
I want to see you prance
Drop your pants
If you don't want to dance
As we just met
Famous faces I don't know
A crown is no cure for a headache
Higher prices can be charged
Pretty penny come to daddy
People love the after hours
Sparkling drinks to take some showers
The girls adore my black toxido
The music's fresh but not liquido
Turn it up now
Turn it up now
Chilling in my ghetto
Turn it up now
Turn it up now
Drop your pants
If you don't want romance
I want to see you prance
Boys, girls, move quick
Drop your pants
If you don't want to dance
As we just met by chance
Boys use lipstick
Drop your pants
If you don't want romance
I want to see you prance
Boys, girls, move quick
Drop your pants

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
