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.
I watched the sun again
It's leaving now
I've spent all night long trying to figure out
What I've lost and what I've found
When my feet won't hit the ground
Trying to make it, starting over
And will we ever love again?
Hey baby, are you alone tonight?
How can we make it?
Hey baby, looks like you were wrong
It's never too late, too late
So here we are again, to make some sense of it all
All these sudden changes
Maybe things are not so different
Rearrange the pieces, like it's all we know
It's all we know, let it go
Hey baby, are you alone tonight?
How can we make it?
Hey baby, looks like you were wrong
It's never too late, too late
I can't put it together, what we've lost
But pieces keep falling one by one
'Cause this life has us holding on
For tomorrow then it's gone
For tomorrow then it's gone
Hey baby, it looks like you were wrong (you were wrong)
How can we make it?
Hey baby, are you alone tonight?
How can we make it?
Hey baby, looks like you were wrong
It's never too late, too late
We'll take it all (hey, baby)
Leave the place behind
There's no one else tonight, tonight
We'll take it all (hey, baby)
Leave the place behind
There's no one else tonight, tonight
It's leaving now
I've spent all night long trying to figure out
What I've lost and what I've found
When my feet won't hit the ground
Trying to make it, starting over
And will we ever love again?
Hey baby, are you alone tonight?
How can we make it?
Hey baby, looks like you were wrong
It's never too late, too late
So here we are again, to make some sense of it all
All these sudden changes
Maybe things are not so different
Rearrange the pieces, like it's all we know
It's all we know, let it go
Hey baby, are you alone tonight?
How can we make it?
Hey baby, looks like you were wrong
It's never too late, too late
I can't put it together, what we've lost
But pieces keep falling one by one
'Cause this life has us holding on
For tomorrow then it's gone
For tomorrow then it's gone
Hey baby, it looks like you were wrong (you were wrong)
How can we make it?
Hey baby, are you alone tonight?
How can we make it?
Hey baby, looks like you were wrong
It's never too late, too late
We'll take it all (hey, baby)
Leave the place behind
There's no one else tonight, tonight
We'll take it all (hey, baby)
Leave the place behind
There's no one else tonight, tonight

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.

Ed Sheeran
“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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
So the songs about his cat, then howcome at the end of God Wears Gucci the recording is said to be for the next song, which is Hey baby heres that song you wanted... I must either be ill-informed or his cat must hate him for crushing him... But yeah i think your right, it sounds reasonable.
