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 life had always been a game, I never learned how to play
Hid from it every day
Because I’ve seen some horrible things
And thanks to memory
I doubt they’ll ever leave
And all my friends are like chameleons
They’re into shape-shifting and I don’t trust anything
I blame the jealousy, the insecurity
But that is such a waste
As of today all that shit changes
I don’t care anymore
If it’s okay with you, I’ll be the judge of me
And you can just peace
I don’t care anymore
I’ll watch some porno girl
I’ll take a pill or two if I wanna chill
I’m gonna pour another vodka drink
And I don’t care what you think
Everyone’s on something
And you can find mister popular, but crack him open girl
And you’ll find something wrong
If I could cure insecurity
How fucking rich would I be?
I’d sell it all to you and then you’d leave
But I don’t care anymore
If it’s okay with you, I’ll be the judge of me
And you can just peace
I don’t care anymore
I’ll watch some porno girl
I’ll take a pill or two if I wanna chill
Sometimes I feel as if my walls are closing in
Maybe I’m just paranoid or am I focused in
I don’t care anymore
If it’s okay with you, I’ll be the judge of me
And you can just peace
I don’t care anymore
And tell your companions
Congratulations they lost me, I win
Hid from it every day
Because I’ve seen some horrible things
And thanks to memory
I doubt they’ll ever leave
And all my friends are like chameleons
They’re into shape-shifting and I don’t trust anything
I blame the jealousy, the insecurity
But that is such a waste
As of today all that shit changes
I don’t care anymore
If it’s okay with you, I’ll be the judge of me
And you can just peace
I don’t care anymore
I’ll watch some porno girl
I’ll take a pill or two if I wanna chill
I’m gonna pour another vodka drink
And I don’t care what you think
Everyone’s on something
And you can find mister popular, but crack him open girl
And you’ll find something wrong
If I could cure insecurity
How fucking rich would I be?
I’d sell it all to you and then you’d leave
But I don’t care anymore
If it’s okay with you, I’ll be the judge of me
And you can just peace
I don’t care anymore
I’ll watch some porno girl
I’ll take a pill or two if I wanna chill
Sometimes I feel as if my walls are closing in
Maybe I’m just paranoid or am I focused in
I don’t care anymore
If it’s okay with you, I’ll be the judge of me
And you can just peace
I don’t care anymore
And tell your companions
Congratulations they lost me, I win

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I know they said this song is about being happy with yourself and how you are, but to me this song just drips of apathy.
the music sounds very light-headed and chill. what i personally get out of the song is: i do my thing, the world does its own thing, and thats ok.
it says negative things that he does and thinks and experiences ("my life had always been a game, i never learned how to play" "sometimes i feel as if my walls are closing in" "i blame the jealousy, the insecurity"), then balances it out or contrasts it with negative things that everyone else does ("you can find mister popular...and youll find something wrong" "all my friends are like chameleons" "ill be the judge of me or you can just peace") or positive things he thinks to deal with it ("as of today all that shit changes" "i dont care anymore"). and that equals apathy.
where i see the most apathy is in the parts: "i dont care anymore", "ill take a pill or two if i wanna chill" "im gonna pour another vodka drink and i dont care what you think, everyones on something" which to me is saying hes getting drunk, but everyone else does crap too so why does it matter?
thats my opinion, i dont know if anyone else would see it this way, but i think we can all agree that this song is amazing.
