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.
Hablar sin pensar
Pensar sin hablar
Servicio militar
Muerte cerebral
Cerrar sin abrir
Primaveras mil
Una sorda feliz
Se jactó de nuestro fin
Tirar sin lanzar
No, no llega el dolor
Y si es lo peor
Muerto vivo mejor
Tirar sin lanzar
No, no llega el dolor
Y si es lo peor
Muerto vivo mejor
Uoh
Triángulo de amor
Bermuda del dolor
Disparo al corazón
Burbuja de terror
Caída sin saltar
Estruendo sin igual
Palabras al pasar
No hay forma de frenar
Sexo sin mirar
Mi almohada puede más
Que todo tu amor
Que vive en mi bolsón
La saliva va
La salida viene atrás
Corte cerebral
El principio es al final
Consomé de callampas
Dulce miel de arañas
Consomé
Dulce miel
No endulza sin picar
La espada y la pared
Me atraviesan y no al revés
La espada y la pared
Me atraviesan y no al revés
Triángulo de amor
Bermuda del dolor
Disparo al corazón
Burbuja de terror
Caída sin saltar
Estruendo sin igual
Palabras al pasar
No hay forma de frenar
Sexo sin mirar
Mi almohada puede más
Que todo tu amor
Que vive en mi bolsón
La saliva va
La salida viene atrás
Corte cerebral
El principio es al final
Ey
La espada y la pared
Me atraviesan y no al revés
La espada y la pared
Me atraviesan y no al revés
La espada y la pared
Me atraviesan y no al revés
La espada y la pared
Me atraviesan y no al revés
Pensar sin hablar

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
