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.
One, two, three, go!
I love how you move and how you say yes,
Forget my success, unzip your dress,
We've got a ? and oh it's not fair,
But if I take you home, maybe you'll share
I love you so much I'll do whatever you do,
I'll take another line, but only for you,
Now if I fall asleep and I won't wake up,
Try your best to save me and never give up
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Will we slow down? It's way too fast,
I'm not saying stop, I just want it to last,
Every little touch takes me so much deeper,
Oh my god, I've got to keep her
I know it's a risk and I know it's all fake,
But you are a lie I'm willing to take,
Tell me what you're worth, girl, I'll pay the cost,
'Cause without you I'd feel so lost
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Come on little lady, go and you'll be fine,
I know that it's harder when you barely know me,
I don't know what your name is but I bet you're pricey,
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Come on little lady, go and you'll be fine,
I know that it's harder when you barely know me,
I don't know what your name is but I bet you're pricey,
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
I love how you move and how you say yes,
Forget my success, unzip your dress,
We've got a ? and oh it's not fair,
But if I take you home, maybe you'll share
I love you so much I'll do whatever you do,
I'll take another line, but only for you,
Now if I fall asleep and I won't wake up,
Try your best to save me and never give up
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Will we slow down? It's way too fast,
I'm not saying stop, I just want it to last,
Every little touch takes me so much deeper,
Oh my god, I've got to keep her

But you are a lie I'm willing to take,
Tell me what you're worth, girl, I'll pay the cost,

Oh, forever, oh oh, forever
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,

Come on little lady, go and you'll be fine,
I know that it's harder when you barely know me,
I don't know what your name is but I bet you're pricey,
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?

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.
