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.
Hello
I've had you on my mind
For hours there's no doubt
And there's no use wasting time
And hello
How could I ever feel this way
With so much left to say
And so much on my mind
I know there's no use for
Trying harder I got to
Gage and barter to get out
[Chorus]
'Cause baby you start and then you stop
And my heart beats big before it drops
And I don't know what's to do
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
Sit back
Let me love grow good for you
And hello
My god you're beautiful
It's true, everyday I stumble
Getting caught up on you
And now I
I never been so amused
There ain't nothing left to prove
I ain't got nothing to lose
'Cause baby, I've been lightly drinking
And a little bit too heavy on the thinking
And won't you tell me something good
[Chorus]
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
Sit back and let my love grow good for you
I sit back and let my love grow good for you
So baby, baby whatcha waiting
Whatcha waiting
Whatcha waiting for
Whatcha waiting
Baby whatcha waiting for
Tell me baby oh
Whatcha waiting for
Yeah, oh, yeah so baby
Whatcha waiting, waiting
Whatcha waiting for
So my baby, baby whatcha waiting for
Tell me baby oh
Whatcha waiting for
Yeah, oh, yeah 'cause baby
I've been lightly drinking
And a little bit too heavy on the thinking
And won't you tell me something good
[Chorus]
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
Sit back and let my love grow good for you
Yeah, I sit back and let my love grow good for you
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
I've had you on my mind
For hours there's no doubt
And there's no use wasting time
And hello
How could I ever feel this way
With so much left to say
And so much on my mind
I know there's no use for
Trying harder I got to
Gage and barter to get out
[Chorus]
'Cause baby you start and then you stop
And my heart beats big before it drops
And I don't know what's to do
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
Sit back

It's true, everyday I stumble
Getting caught up on you

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.
