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.
Biz ta eskiden beri bu sularda yüzer idik
Bu ormanı sever idik, bu kuşları dinler idik
Biz ta eskiden beri, biz burda bir avuç insan
Biz birbirimizden habersiz aynı şiiri yazar idik
Aynı şarkıyı söyler idik, aynı duvara işer idik
Derken; bir sabah erken
Haymana ovasında bir garip kuş öterken
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Dağlarına memleketin bahar gelmişken
Lan n'oldu be, lan n'oldu be, lan ne bu be
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Havada bulut yok ta ya bu ne dumanken
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Dağlarına memleketin bahar gelmişken
Lan n'oldu be, lan n'oldu be, lan ne bu be
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Birbirimizin yüzüne bakamaz olduk mu ne
Lan n'oldu be, lan n'oldu be
Lan ne bu be, lan n'oldu be
Derken; bir sabah erken
Sevdiğimiz yanımızda yumuşacık uyurken
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Birbirimizi böyle manyak gibi severken
Lan n'oldu be
Bu ormanı sever idik, bu kuşları dinler idik
Biz ta eskiden beri, biz burda bir avuç insan
Biz birbirimizden habersiz aynı şiiri yazar idik
Aynı şarkıyı söyler idik, aynı duvara işer idik
Derken; bir sabah erken
Haymana ovasında bir garip kuş öterken
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Dağlarına memleketin bahar gelmişken
Lan n'oldu be, lan n'oldu be, lan ne bu be
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Havada bulut yok ta ya bu ne dumanken
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Dağlarına memleketin bahar gelmişken
Lan n'oldu be, lan n'oldu be, lan ne bu be
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Birbirimizin yüzüne bakamaz olduk mu ne
Lan n'oldu be, lan n'oldu be
Lan ne bu be, lan n'oldu be
Derken; bir sabah erken
Sevdiğimiz yanımızda yumuşacık uyurken
Lan n'oldu
Derken; bir sabah erken
Birbirimizi böyle manyak gibi severken
Lan n'oldu be

@[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.
