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.
10 Miles from nowhere and it’s a beautiful night
For this reason I decided to go for a drive
Aint got no worries; aint got a care in the world
My bills are paid and I got this beautiful girl…
Ridin’ shotgun right beside me
With her hair blowin in the wind
Singing songs with the radio
Life is beautiful my friend
This world’s gone crazy, shiftin daily
Time is flyin by so fast
We need to treasure every moment
Like it’s going to be our last
So instead of getting caught up in this chaos we call life
I’m gonna blare this radio, hold her hand…
and drive.
Sometimes we get so caught up in living right
We have somehow forgotten to simply live life
They say there’s something wrong with being content
But I am so happy in this moment I’m in…
Drivin crazy down this highway with our hair blowin in the wind
Singing songs with the radio
Life is beautiful my friend
This world’s gone crazy, shiftin daily
Time is flyin by so fast
We need to treasure every moment
Like it’s going to be our last
So instead of getting caught up in this chaos we call life
I’m gonna blare this radio, hold her hand…
and drive.
For this reason I decided to go for a drive
Aint got no worries; aint got a care in the world
My bills are paid and I got this beautiful girl…
Ridin’ shotgun right beside me
With her hair blowin in the wind
Singing songs with the radio
Life is beautiful my friend
This world’s gone crazy, shiftin daily
Time is flyin by so fast
We need to treasure every moment
Like it’s going to be our last
So instead of getting caught up in this chaos we call life
I’m gonna blare this radio, hold her hand…
and drive.
Sometimes we get so caught up in living right
We have somehow forgotten to simply live life
They say there’s something wrong with being content
But I am so happy in this moment I’m in…
Drivin crazy down this highway with our hair blowin in the wind
Singing songs with the radio
Life is beautiful my friend
This world’s gone crazy, shiftin daily
Time is flyin by so fast
We need to treasure every moment
Like it’s going to be our last
So instead of getting caught up in this chaos we call life
I’m gonna blare this radio, hold her hand…
and drive.

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Celebrating life...No cares in the world, other than you and those around you...The little moments that we step out of reality to get perspective on the good we share in life before we step back in and continue along. This could be taken literally as a drive down Highway 1 w/ your lover, or it could be seen as a sort of daydream during a mundane workday. Great uplifting tune!
