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.
My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest see
I found my destination, what I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And I'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something I'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleepin' wishes
Is hidden where I cannot see
When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek"
"Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lats for a lifetime"
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest see
I found my destination, what I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated

One too many poisoned kisses

When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.

Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
In a reply to a comment, RyuheiAoi said that this song is about a woman who is leading a man on but she is married. The man knows of this but he loves her that much he can't turn away.
I have just came from a simular sort of situation and fell in love with this woman who was married. She promised me the world, and that her husband treat her wrong and beat on her. Hearing the stories made me fall for her. But one day she cut ties with me saying she fealt guilty. I understood and admit that I wa shurt by it, but 6 months later she got back in touch with me saying she regretted cutting ties and wanted to be with me and not him.
I was a little reluctant at first and though she was full on towards me I started falling for her again. But he found out about us and she went back to him leaving me once again.
I can totally relate to this song as no matter how much you can dream about a person, when you wake your heart still aches for them.
Like myself he followed his heart and not his head which has brought him pain like he feared he would feel.
