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.
To focus on think not believe, one step foward and then archieve.
Does, it make the best start?
Here is the present from the one who will be a voice on the phone held by your mum.
And a lifetime is too short.
I thought I could put together the sweetest words and phrases no one would ever forget,
explain how some ways cross, fork and separate.
It's up to you now to find out why beneath is all lay the feelings we contain,
the beauty, the passion,
the ardor retained, the kissed we've missed,
and the lips we've eclipsed,
and a chorus that won't shake a thing but belongs to your veins.
To focus too much on this aim and let reason get over it won't make a good start.
Fight habits cause they mask the waste.
Misunderstandings are pretexts that aren't reliable.
And a lifetime is too short.
I thought I could put together the sweetest words and phrases no one would ever forget,
explain how some ways cross, fork and separate.
It's up to you now to find out why beneath is all lay the feelings we contain,
the beauty, the passion,
the ardor retained, the kissed we've missed,
and the lips we've eclipsed,
and a chorus that won't shake a thing but belongs to your veins.
Everyday's lesson is to never let go, never let go.
Whatever you're facing, wherever you'll go, never let go.
Sleep well, maintain that it's a bedtime story.
Sleep well, up until now it was a bedtime story.
Sleep well, we'll let you know when it's not a bedtime story... anymore

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.
