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.
When we kiss that way
I search for words that might explain
How can a love go so deep?
Girl, it's in my blood, it'll always be a part of me
If we stay together
Or if we go our separate ways
I know, love will last forever
The sun may someday lose it's light
The moon may not shine one night
Your heart will always have a home
It is written in stone, written in stone
Seasons go by and minds have changed
But I will never doubt why I feel this way
It goes on, so strong like a solid rock
Even when the moment's gone
Nothin' last's forever
But one thing's sure to stay the same
Our love, the love is getting better
The sun may someday lose it's light
The moon may not shine one night
And I know just how the story goes
It is written in stone, written in stone
True love is timeless and unconditional
You don't need to read the writin' on the wall
I can see the future, happiness won't fade away
The sun is in the sky just like it was yesterday
Love will last forever
The sun may someday lose it's light
The moon may not shine one night
Your heart will never be alone
It is written in stone, written in stone
Got true love, it's timeless
But it'll grow through smiles and sadness
Won't you work with me?
Our love, it will be forever
If I know sometimes you might not believe it
But baby, I'll do my best to show it, let you see it
Time might not be so bad
But I know we'll come out ahead, girl
'Cause love is timeless
Timeless and unconditional
You don't need to read the writing on the wall
It is written in stone
Happiness won't fade away
I search for words that might explain
How can a love go so deep?
Girl, it's in my blood, it'll always be a part of me
If we stay together
Or if we go our separate ways
I know, love will last forever
The sun may someday lose it's light
The moon may not shine one night
Your heart will always have a home
It is written in stone, written in stone
Seasons go by and minds have changed
But I will never doubt why I feel this way
It goes on, so strong like a solid rock
Even when the moment's gone
Nothin' last's forever
But one thing's sure to stay the same
Our love, the love is getting better
The sun may someday lose it's light
The moon may not shine one night
And I know just how the story goes
It is written in stone, written in stone
True love is timeless and unconditional
You don't need to read the writin' on the wall
I can see the future, happiness won't fade away
The sun is in the sky just like it was yesterday
Love will last forever
The sun may someday lose it's light
The moon may not shine one night
Your heart will never be alone
It is written in stone, written in stone
Got true love, it's timeless
But it'll grow through smiles and sadness
Won't you work with me?
Our love, it will be forever
If I know sometimes you might not believe it
But baby, I'll do my best to show it, let you see it
Time might not be so bad
But I know we'll come out ahead, girl
'Cause love is timeless
Timeless and unconditional
You don't need to read the writing on the wall
It is written in stone
Happiness won't fade away

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

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
